Note: Data, which were transformed to 0–100, are presented as the mean (standard deviation). Between‐group comparisons are presented as post hoc mean difference (95% CI). A higher score represents a better quality of life.
Abbreviations: BPD, bronchopulmonary dysplasia; EP, extremely preterm; MLP, moderate‐late preterm.
