Fig. 2.

Results of the global brain volume analysis.

The values are the raw means and standard deviations (SD) for each gestational age group and brain region. The plots are the mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CI) between gestational age groups for each brain region, adjusted for postmenstrual age at time of scan. Full-term (FT); late preterm (LP); moderate preterm (MP); and very preterm (VP).

For the plots, each row is one group compared with another group, for example VP compared with the FT group (VP-FT). The first named group (VP) is the group of interest; the second named group (FT) is the reference group. Points to the right of the zero line indicate the volume is smaller in the group of interest (VP) compared with the reference group (FT); points to the left of the zero line indicate the volume is larger in the group of interest (VP) compared with the reference group (FT).

False discovery rate-corrected p-values are shown.

Volume units are cm³.
