Table. 1.

Left part shows four blocks of regression results, each with the regression applied to one of 4 sub-group of infants: 1: n = 168 total scanned cohort, 2:n = 158 excluding 10 scanned infants with coexisting diagnosis. 12 PNC are included, 3: n = 156 excluding 12 infants with PNC including 10 with coexisting diagnosis, 4: n = 146 excluding 22 scanned infants with PNC or other diagnosis. In each block, the upper part gives the results from regressions corresponding to the one performed in Supplementary document 1. The upper part of the upper block repeats the results obtained in the second regression in Supplementary document 1. In the lower half of each block, the product WMxBGT is not allowed in the regression, but all other MRI and biochemical and clinical variables are allowed. For each regression, the significant factors in the regression equation are listed with the corresponding factors. The resulting 2 × 2 tables are shown with the Positive Predictive Value (PPV) for adverse outcome, the Negative Predictive Value (NPV) for adverse outcome, Specificity (Sp), Sensitivity (Se) and Predictive Accuracy (PA). Right part shows the description as for the left part, but with classifications from cross tables with only one MRI variable selected, either WMxBGT or TIS, in each block.
