All measures within the respective groups are medians ± standard deviations where necessary; One-way ANOVA was performed with Kruskal-Wallis test (Sig.). All groupwise comparisons performed by Wilcoxon signed rank family-wise comparisons. All p-values are Benjamini-Hochberg corrected with alpha level set at p <0.050 (*). FA = fractional anisotropy; MD = mean diffusivity; AD = axial diffusivity; RD = Radial diffusivity; PHH = post hemorrhagic hydrocephalus; HG-IVH = high grade intraventricular hemorrhage; VPT = very preterm; FT = full term.
