We assessed Bayley III scores at two years adjusted age for EP infants and TR infants born in the same NRN centers and examined by the same assessors who had been trained to reliability [18] and were blinded to gestational age at birth, perinatal events, and prior follow-up findings. The mean composite cognitive, motor, and language scores were 83.9, 83.3, and 80.2, respectively, for the EP infants and 97.5, 98.2, and 97.9, respectively, for the TR group.
