  1. a Gestational age and age at assessment were measured in weeks
  2. b Birth weight and weight at assessment were measured in hectograms
  3. c Complexity index was calculated as the number of complications (e.g., surgery, intrauterine growth restriction) and organs/systems affected by pathologies
