  • Univariable and multivariable regression models for Scond. The only remaining significantly associated perinatal factor with Scond in the multivariable model was gestational age (r2 37%) and extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGAN) (r2 20%). BPD: bronchopulmonary dysplasia. #: adjusted for gestational age, body length and sex.
