  • Total cohort: infants born in 1996–2005; cohort I: 1996–2000; cohort II: 2001–2005.

  • Normal: ≤−1 Z score ≥0, performance within −1 SD or >0 SD; mildly delayed: >−1 Z score ≤−2, performance within −1 and −2 SD; severely delayed: Z score >−2, performance more than −2 SD.

  • AGA, appropriate for gestational age, ≥p10; SGA, small for gestational age, <p10.
