NB: N may vary due to missing values - 2.9% (n=62) for 1 year and 1.5% (n=33) for the 7 year has missing information on neurological abnormality. 0.5% (n=11), 3.0% (n=65), and 1.5% (n=33) at 4 months, 1 year, and 7 year, respectively, have missing information on non-neurological abnormality.

AOR = adjusted odd ratios. CI = confidence interval. Poverty, sex and race were statistically controlled for.
