FIGURE 1.

Overview of assessments, predictors, and outcomes in the current study. Predictors were derived as follows. 1. Neurodevelopmental risk score. Score below the referral cut‐off on an Ages and Stages Questionnaire‐3 (ASQ‐3) domain: 1 risk point (6 time points of measurement on 5 ASQ‐3 domains: max. 30 points) + ESSENCE‐Q items (except feeding problems), rated with “yes”: 1 risk point (10 items: max. 10 risk points) + parent‐reported diagnoses of developmental delay (DD; at age 1 year), motor delay (MD), intellectual disability (ID) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD; at age 3 years: 1 risk point per diagnosis (4 diagnoses: max. 4 risk points) = theoretical range 0–44. 2. Specific Neurodevelopmental problems. Each of 10 ESSENCE‐Q items and each ASQ‐3 domain that was failed 2 or more out of 6 time points of measurement. 3. ASQ‐3 score. Score below monitoring cut‐off: 1 risk point/domain, score below referral cut‐off: 2 risk points/domain, × 5 domains = 0–10 per time point
