a

Adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) for categorical outcomes has been obtained using Generalized Linear Mixed models. For continuous outcome, adjusted estimates (95% CI) were obtained using Generalized Linear Models. Covariates adjusted in all models are center, mothers’ education, and gestational age and parenchymal hemorrhage. Center variations have been adjusted as a random effect for categorical outcomes.

b

Neurodevelopmental impairment was defined as moderate/severe cerebral palsy or Bayley III cognitive or motor score <70, blindness or deafness.

c

Withdrawal of respiratory support among those who died prior to hospital discharge was 26.7% among infants with no intervention and 5.9% among those with intervention, P <.001

d

Normal outcome in survivors is defined as no cerebral palsy, Bayley III cognitive composite score ≥85, motor composite score ≥85, no blindness and no deafness.
