Table 3.

Results from multinomial logistic regression of bolus area and lesion status within preterm and term infants at ages seven and 17.

	Bolus Area Odds		Lesion Odds		Bolus p		Lesion p
	3	7	3	7	3	7	3	7
Preterm 7	3.0	3.8	−1.6	−2.4	0.001	0.007	0.03	0.03
Term 7	13.9	11.69	2.5	0.8	<0.001	<0.001	0.37	0.79
Preterm 17	7.9	13.1	2.5	2.5	<0.001	<0.001	0.007	0.14
Term 17	6.3	18.5	−1.9	−0.8	<0.001	<0.001	0.17	0.65

Bolded values indicate odds ratios greater than one, or p values less than 0.05.

Negative odds ratios indicate that the compared group is less likely to experience a three or seven than the reference group (control).
