Exposure to hot (&amp;gt; 90th percentile) or cold (&amp;lt; 10th percentile) using site-specific and window-specific temperature distributions were defined for 3-months preconception, 7-week periods during the first two trimesters, 1 week preceding delivery, and whole pregnancy. Poisson regression with generalized estimating equations calculated the relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval for early deliveries associated with hot\/cold exposures, adjusting for conception month, humidity, site, sex, maternal demographics, parity, insurance, prepregnancy body mass index, pregnancy complications, and smoking or drinking during pregnancy. Acute temperature associations were estimated separately for warm (May\u2013September) and cold season (October\u2013April) in a case-crossover analysis using conditional logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared with mild temperature (10\u201390th percentile), exposure to hot or cold during weeks 1\u20137 increased risk for early preterm (&amp;lt; 34 weeks) [RRhot: 1.11 (95% CI: 1.01, 1.21); RRcold: 1.20 (95% CI: 1.11, 1.30)], late preterm (34\u201336 weeks) [RRcold: 1.09 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.15)], and early term (37\u201338 weeks) [RRhot: 1.04 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.07); RRcold: 1.03 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.05)] delivery. Findings were similar for hot exposures during weeks 15\u201321. Examining deliveries at each week from 23 through 38, whole-pregnancy hot exposures increased delivery risk by 6\u201321% at weeks 34 and 36\u201338. In the case-crossover analysis, a 5\u00b0F increase during the week preceding delivery was associated with 12\u201316% higher and 4\u20135% lower early delivery risk during warm and cold season, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both acute and chronic ambient temperature extremes may affect early delivery risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Citation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ha S, Liu D, Zhu Y, Kim SS, Sherman S, Mendola P. 2017.
