Both PC1 and PC2 were negatively related to regional volumes of the limbic system (Table 4). Significant positive loadings in this table indicate the relative contribution of each clinical factor and genotype for each component. For example, taking Tables 4 and 5 together, for PC1, more neonatal invasive procedures and more days on mechanical ventilation were related to smaller regional volume of CA4DG. PC1, principal component 1; PC2, principal component 2; Infection, neonatal culture proven infection; Morphine, morphine exposure, Surgery, number of surgeries; Ventilation, days on mechanical ventilation, SNAP-II day 1, score for neonatal acute physiology-II (i.e., illness severity on day 1); GA, gestation age. aRed font indicate p < 0.0045 after Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons. bRed font indicate p < 0.05 after Benjamini Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) 5% overall error rate adjustment.
