*
Brain injury was defined as the presence of either a grade III–IV intraventricular hemorrhage, cystic periventricular leukomalacia, and/or cerebellar hemorrhage.
**
P-value is from investigating factors related to sensory processing disorder using independent samples t-tests, nonparametrics, and chi-square analyses.
