Table 7.

Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of developmental disorders associated with intraventricular hemorrhage and a white matter lesion, alone and together. The models are adjusted for gestational age, sex, and public insurance. Early ventriculomegaly is not considered but child had to have a LATE SCAN (scan 3) to be included. Odds ratios in bold type are statistically significant at p < 0.05. The referent group is children without intraventricular hemorrhage or a white matter lesion.
