Classification of VLBW preterm infants at high-risk for gross motor impairment based on near-term regional white matter microstructure assessed on DTI, using exhaustive feature selection and logistic regression for prediction of BSID-III gross motor subscore below one standard deviation of the mean in preterm children at 18–22 months. The five most predictive set of three brain regions are listed.
