Neonatal Brain Volumes
Control LS mean* (SE) | MVM LS mean* (SE) | % difference | F-value (DF) | P value | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Intracranial Volume (mm3) | 475,757 (8,207) | 509,615 (8,207) | 7.1% | 8.51 (1,33) | 0.0063 |
Lateral Ventricle (mm3) | 1,701 (585) | 6,572 (585) | 286.4% | 34.64 (1,33) | < 0.0001 |

Cortical White Matter (mm3) | 152,426 (2,962) | 158,680 (2,962) | 4.1% | 2.23 (1,33) | 0.1449 |
Subcortical Gray Matter (mm3) | 20351 (521) | 22025 (521) | 8.2% | 5.15 (1,33) | 0.0298 |
Cerebellum (mm3) | 27,361 (547) | 27,181 (547) | −0.06% | 0.05 (1,33) | 0.8184 |
Blocking for matching pairs was used to diminish the effect of variation within matching pairs, so MVM subjects have the same standard errors for the LSmeans as the matched control subjects when the two groups have same number of blocks and there is no missing data.
