  1. Entries represent Kendall’s \(\tau\) coefficient measuring strength of correlation. The morbidities BPD, perinatal brain pathology, and ROP are ordinal, whereas PH and mild cardiac defects are binary
  2. *Statistically significant correlation after Bonferroni correction (adjusted p-value < 0.05)
