Results of least squares means estimates from generalized linear model, controlling for gestational age at MRI.

MRI-1 denotes the timepoint of the third trimester (either in utero or ex utero in the early postnatal period following preterm birth);

MRI-2 denotes the timepoint of term equivalent age;

Significant after adjusting for multiple testing.
