  1. Data are adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals in parenthesis as determined by logistic regression modelling
  2. The reference cohort is EPIPAGE-2
  3. All the different models were adjusted on gestational age, gender, and a set of perinatal factors including maternal hypertension (chronic or pregnancy-induced), maternal diabetes (pre-gestational or gestational), antenatal steroid therapy, multiple birth, mode of delivery, outborn status, and 5-min Apgar score
  4. aBronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotising enterocolitis or severe neurological injury
  5. bDefined as previously among survivors
  6. cSame adjustment as previously, except for maternal diabetes due to lack of power
