Prediction of BSID-III composite motor score in VLBW preterm children at 18–22 months of age based on near-term white matter microstructure assessed on DTI, using exhaustive feature selection with leave-one-out cross-validation and linear regression. The five most predictive set of three brain regions are listed.
