Note: Models also account for clustering of children within research centers. Model for NDI excludes children without data on NDI at follow-up. Reference categories are epoch 2, female, birth weight ≥ 750g, white race, more than high school education, did not receive postnatal steroids, did not have IVH/PVL, and did not have NEC. Areas under the ROC curve (AUC) for the models are: Death (AUC=0.83), NDI (AUC=0.77), and Death/NDI (AUC=0.80).
