| Predictors a | Standardized Beta | t | p | Zero‐order correlation | Partial correlation | Part correlation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean TC b | 0.518 | 5.309 | .000003 | 0.517 | 0.608 | 0.493 |
| Time of mechanical ventilation | −0.390 | −4.100 | .00016 | −0.402 | −0.509 | −0.381 |
| SES | −0.304 | −3.162 | .0027 | −0.463 | −0.415 | −0.294 |
| Postmenstrual age | −0.259 | −2.684 | .01 | −0.082 | −0.361 | −0.249 |
a
Overall model fit: F = 17.011, adjusted R 2 = .552, p < .001.
b
Mean TC calculated from the threshold‐free cluster enhancement (TFCE)‐adjusted significant clusters in the cortical skeleton (p < .05).
