Selected Cognitive Abilities From the Subscales of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-III)
Standardized full-scale IQ scores from the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence III (WPPSI-III) at 5 years of age. Quotient and Composite scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Subtest scaled scores have a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 3.
For Quotient and Composite score:
below 70 is Extremely Low, 70-79 is Borderline, 80-89 is Low Average, 90-109 is Average, 110-119 is High Average, 120-129 is Superior, 130+ is Very Superior.
Cognitive and Achievement Levels From the Differential Ability Scales (DAS II)
Overall general conceptual ability score as measured by the DAS-II at 36 months of age.
GCA General Conceptual Ability Classification ≥ 130 Very high 120-129 High 110-119 Above average 90-109 Average 80-89 Below average 70-79 Low
≤ 69 Very low
Cognitive and Achievement Levels From Two DAS-II Subtests (Recall of Digits Forward and Recognition of Pictures)
Cognitive and achievement levels from two DAS-II subtests (Recall of Digits Forward and Recognition of Pictures)
GCA General Conceptual Ability Classification ≥ 130 Very high 120-129 High 110-119 Above average 90-109 Average 80-89 Below average 70-79 Low
≤ 69 Very low
Cognitive, Motor and Language Scale Scores From the Bayley Certified Scales of Infant Development III Edition
Composite scores are derived for cognitive, language, and motor development and scaled to a metric, with a mean of 100, standard deviation of 15, and range of 40 to 160. Results can also be expressed as percentile ranks relative to the standardization sample, with a mean and median of 50 and range from 1 to 99
Behavioral Problems and Social Competencies at 36 and 60 Months of Age, as Measured by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)
Behavioral problems and social competencies at 36 and 60 months of age, as measured by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The CBCL is filled out by the caregiver. Each of the 100 questions indicates a behavior for which the caregiver scores as Not True (0), Sometimes True (1), or Often True (2). The scores for all the questions are then summed and evaluated against the normative data/T-scores. A Tscore of less than 60 is considered to be in the normal range. A T score of 60-63 is a borderline, and a T score of more than 63 is in the clinical range. Lower scores represent better outcomes.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Index Score From the Connors' Rating Scales (Parent-S) - Revised
The Conners' Rating Scales-Revised were used to assess attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A T score of 45 to 55 is considered to be typical or average; a T score of 44 or less is not a concern, a T score of 56 to 60 is considered to be a borderline score, and a T score of 61 or higher indicates a possible or clinically significant problem.
Participants With Placental Abruption
Clinically significant placental abruption will be determined by centralized (blinded) chart review
Participants With Gestational Hypertension
Gestational hypertension defined as patient having a diastolic ≥ 90 during pregnancy without proteinuria
Participants With Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia defined as patient having a diastolic ≥ 90 during pregnancy with at least 1 + proteinuria. Preeclampsia will also include HELLP syndrome or eclampsia.
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
A patient is considered to have gestational diabetes if clinically diagnosed with class A1 or A2
Participants With Composite Neonatal Outcome
The composite neonatal outcome was defined as periventricular leukomalacia, intraventricular hemorrhage of grade III or IV, necrotizing enterocolitis (stage ≥II), severe retinopathy of prematurity (stage ≥III), the severe respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, neonatal death, stillbirth, or serious infectious complication.
Participants Who Experienced a Stillbirth or Miscarriage
Stillbirth or miscarriage.
Number of Neonatal Deaths
Fetal and neonatal death
Number of Infants With Apgar Score 4 at 1 Minute and < 7 at 5 Minutes
Apgar score < 4 at 1 minute and < 7 at 5 minutes

Infants With Birth Weight < 10th Percentile (Gestational Age z Score)
Birth weight < 10th percentile (gestational age z score)
Neonatal Head Circumference (Centimeters)
Neonatal head circumference measured within 24 hours of birth. This measurement is included based on a report showing that maternal treatment with thyroxine for overt hypothyroidism was associated with reduced head circumference in the newborn infant
Number of Infants With Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) will be defined based on a clinical diagnosis of RDS Type I and oxygen therapy (FiO2 ≥ 0.40) for greater than or equal to 24 hours. For infants dying before 24 hours of age, a clinical diagnosis of RDS Type I and oxygen therapy (FiO2 ≥ 0.40) are sufficient.
Number of Infants With Retinopathy or Prematurity
This diagnosis will be reached when an ophthalmologic examination of the retina has been performed and ROP is diagnosed at Stage I (demarcation line in the retina) or greater
Number of Infants With Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is defined by the following: the unequivocal presence of intramural air on abdominal x-ray, perforation seen on abdominal x-ray, clinical evidence as suggested by erythema and induration of the abdominal wall, or intra-abdominal abscess formation, or stricture formation observed at surgery or autopsy following an episode of suspected NEC. The condition is classified based on the Bell staging system
Number of Infants With Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is defined as the need for supplemental oxygen at 36 weeks corrected age, for babies born <34 weeks by project gestational age only
