Relation of newborn VF and GB to neurocognitive outcomes at 2 and 5 years. A, Gvmi at 2 years (Group 1) according to newborn VF and GB scores (mean±confidence interval 95%). Ab, Ad, Findings from categorical regression analysis (Q, quantifications; estimated ± 95% confidence intervals). Q, Quantifications of Gvmi. B, ViR and VMI at 5 years (Group 2) according to newborn VF scores. C, Models combining visual and motor performance (left, Group 1; right, Group 2) show the preferential relationship from newborn VF to visual cognitive outcomes. DQ, Developmental quotient. Significant findings are indicated with an asterisk.
