a, Model performance of the multiple linear regression between the maturational deviation scores and the MSEL scores (\(n=364\), \({P}_{{\rm{ELC}}} < 0.001\), \({P}_{{\rm{GM}}}=0.448\), \({P}_{{\rm{FM}}}=0.001\), \({P}_{{\rm{EL}}} < 0.001\), \({P}_{{\rm{RL}}}=0.001\), \({P}_{{\rm{VR}}}=0.007\)). Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals of regression coefficients, with the centre of error bar indicating the estimated regression coefficient. b, Prediction performance of the multiple linear regression models evaluated using 50% holdout testing for 100 runs (\({P}_{{\rm{ELC}}} < 0.001\), \({P}_{{\rm{GM}}}=0.353\), \({P}_{{\rm{FM}}}=0.064\), \({P}_{{\rm{EL}}} < 0.001\), \({P}_{{\rm{RL}}}=0.007\), \({P}_{{\rm{VR}}}=0.002\)). On each box, the red central line represents the median, and the upper and lower edges of the box indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The whiskers represent 1.5× the interquartile range, with red crosses showing observations outside of this range. Statistical significance was assessed using permutation tests; **\(P < 0.01\), ***\(P < 0.001\). ELC, early learning composite score; GM, gross motor; FM, fine motor; EL, expressive language; RL, receptive language; VR, visual reception.
