Fig. 2: Adjusted odds ratios for neurodevelopmental impairment and the composite outcome of neurodevelopmental impairment or death.

a Displays adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI); b Displays adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for the composite outcome of NDI or death. Sepsis+/NEC− indicates a single episode of sepsis without necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC); Sepsis−/NEC+ indicates NEC without sepsis; Sepsis++/NEC− indicates multiple episodes of sepsis without NEC; and Sepsis+/NEC+ indicates both sepsis and NEC. Values are expressed as adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
