*APGAR scores were measured at 1 min/5 min/ > 5 min after birth; CU: cerebral ultrasound; AIUM: American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine; NCU: neonatal care unit; APGAR score: assessment score for appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration of the neonate; AD(H)D: attention deficit (and hyperactivity) disorder; IVH: intraventricular hemorrhage
