Table 1. Significant dependencies among neurological phenotypes (Bayley) and growth parameters (Growth) with 2-way (top sub-table) and 3-way effects (middle and bottom sub-tables) were observed.

Note that the change in statistical significance after multiple hypothesis correction here is small. The composite Cognitive Bayley scale score and the growth rate parameter alpha showed the strongest 2-way dependencies, as measured by the p-value (described in Methods section 4.4.) There was a clear relationship between robust head growth and the Bayley phenotypes for both 2-way and 3-way dependencies. With the exception of the two shown in the bottom sub-table, the other child-specific neurological phenotype data such as Infant Toddler Social Emotional Assessment (ITSEA) and Child Behavior Check List (CBCL) were observed in 3-way dependency with weaker significance levels (p-values > 10−4) and are not reported here.
