PsychoTSH study (N = 310), Belgium, 2008–2014.
A higher CBCL score is related to higher developmental problems.
ap-Value from Pearson Correlation.
bp-Value from Univariate Linear Regression.
IQR, inter quartile range; HC, head circumference; N, number of subject.
Statistically significant p-Values (p < 0.05) are highlighted in bold.
