Exposure	Outcome	Unadjusted		Adjusted^*
		OR^†	95% CI	OR	95% CI
STAI (SD)	URTI	1.04	(0.84–1.30)	1.10	(0.87–1.39)

CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; RTI, respiratory tract infection; SD, standard deviation; STAI, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.
^*Adjusted for child’s sex, season of birth, maternal age, education level, exposure to tobacco smoking during the first year of life, history of maternal allergic diseases and history of any paternal allergic diseases (atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, or asthma).
^†Logistic regression models were used to calculate OR and 95% CI.
^‡ p-value < 0.05.
^§ p-value < 0.10.
