ASR: Adult Self-Report, GAF: Global Assessment of Functioning, HADS: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, SD: Standard deviation, SF-36: Short Form 36 Health Survey, VLBW: Very low birth weight. All scores are raw scores, except the Physical and Mental Component Summaries, which are T-scores based on an average of 50 points and a standard deviation of 10 points. The Mean Adaptive score is based on average T-scores from the five adaptive scales. p-values based on bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrap (BCa). a p-value based on Mann-Whitney U test as we did not obtain a p-value based on bootstrapping.
