Early prediction of cerebral palsy

	Ventriculomegaly	Extensive hemorrhage	Intraventricular echodensity	Cysts	Echodensity extent into 2 or more lobes
Sensitivity % (95% CI)	92 (75–99)	23 (9–44)	96 (80–100)	27 (12–48)	54 (33–73)
Specificity % (95% CI)	46 (24–68)	100 (85–100)	27 (11–50)	96 (77–100)	73 (50–89)
LR + (95% CI)	1.7 (1.1–2.5)	—	1.3 (1.0–1.7)	5.9 (0.79–44.5)	2.0 (0.92–4.3)
LR− (95% CI)	0.17 (0.041–0.69)	0.77 (0.62–0.95)	0.14 (0.018–1.1)	0.61 (0.51–0.71)	0.64 (0.39–1.0)
