Fig. 3: Mean differences in neurodevelopment outcomes between the sepsis and no sepsis groups.
From: Brain volume and neurodevelopment at 13 years following sepsis in very preterm infants
Note: Neurodevelopmental outcomes are presented as z-scores with 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for sex, gestational age (GA) and birthweight standard deviation score (BWSDS) (solid line), and additionally adjusted for white matter injury (WMI) and postnatal corticosteroid exposure (PNCS) (dashed line); negative coefficients represent less favourable outcomes for the children who had perinatal sepsis and more favourable outcomes for those without sepsis, except for behaviour, where positive coefficients are less favourable for children with neonatal sepsis.
