Note. Prematurity status was defined as gestational age less than 37 weeks; CRP = C-reactive protein; IL-6 = interleukin 6; TNF- α = tumor necrosis factor-alpha; Infant cognitive ability was indexed using the BSID-III Cognitive Subscale Scaled Score; Negative affect indexed as the proportion of 5-second intervals with coded negative affect behavior during still-face episode; Min=minutes; EF = Executive Function
