Relationships between brain volumes and psychosocial functioning in the VLBW group. Occipital a-b and parietal volume c-d reductions at 15 years predicted poorer psychosocial functioning in the VLBW group. Smaller volumes of thalamus f-g and subcortical GM h-i were associated with poorer psychosocial functioning in the VLBW group at both ages. Results adjusted for age and sex. Subcortical structures adjusted for estimated intracranial volume. Abbreviations: CGAS: Children’s Global Assessment Scale; GM: Gray matter; VLBW: Very low birth weight. * Significant results after adjusting for multiple testing
