Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryFull Scale IQ ScoreAt 5 years chronological age
The primary outcome will be the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Third Edition (WPPSI-III) full scale IQ score. Verbal, visuo-spatial and processing speed skills are incorporated into the Full Scale IQ score, which is indicative of general intellectual ability. Minimum score: 45 Maximum score:145 Higher scores are associated with higher IQ scores (better outcome). Note: Scale ranges represent estimates that are very likely to be accurate but which will be verified after access to the physical assessment booklets is restored. The current health situation prohibits the research team from verifying this information at the moment.
SecondaryVerbal IQAt 5 years corrected age.
Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Third Edition (WPPSI-III): Verbal IQ Minimum possible score:45 Maximum possible score:145 A higher score indicates higher verbal IQ (better outcome). Note: Scale ranges represent estimates that are very likely to be accurate but which will be verified after access to the physical assessment booklets is restored. The current health situation prohibits the research team from verifying this information at the moment.
SecondaryPerformance IQAt 5 years corrected age
Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Third Edition (WPPSI-III): Performance IQ Minimum possible score:45 Maximum possible score:145 A higher score indicates a higher performance IQ (better outcome). Note: Scale ranges represent estimates that are very likely to be accurate but which will be verified after access to the physical assessment booklets is restored. The current health situation prohibits the research team from verifying this information at the moment.
SecondaryProcessing Speed QuotientAt 5 years corrected age
Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Third Edition (WPPSI-III): Processing speed quotient Minimum possible score:45 Maximum possible score:145 A higher score indicates a better outcome. Note: Scale ranges represent estimates that are very likely to be accurate but which will be verified after access to the physical assessment booklets is restored. The current health situation prohibits the research team from verifying this information at the moment.
SecondarySentence Repetition Scaled ScoreAt 5 years chronological age
Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment second edition (NEPSY-II) sub test: Sentence Repetition scaled score Minimum possible score: 1 Maximum possible score: 19 A higher score indicates a better outcome.
SecondaryAuditory Attention Combined Scaled ScoreAt 5 years corrected age
Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment Second Edition (NEPSY-II) Sub Test: Auditory Attention combined scaled score Minimum possible score: 1 Maximum possible score: 19 A higher score indicates a better outcome.
SecondaryStatue Scaled ScoreAt 5 years corrected ageDevelopmental Neuropsychological Assessment Second Edition (NEPSY-II) Sub Test: Statue scaled score Minimum possible score: 1 Maximum possible score: 19 A higher score indicates a better outcome.
SecondaryInhibition Combined Scaled ScoreAt 5 years corrected age
Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment Second Edition (NEPSY-II) Sub Test: Inhibition combined scaled score Minimum possible score: 1 Maximum possible score: 19 A higher score indicates a better outcome.
SecondaryWord Generation Scaled ScoreAt 5 years corrected age
Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment Second Edition (NEPSY-II) Sub Test: Word Generation Scaled score Minimum possible score: 1 Maximum possible score: 19 A higher score indicates a better outcome.
SecondaryAffect Recognition Scaled ScoreAt 5 years corrected age
Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment Second Edition (NEPSY-II) Sub Test: Affect Recognition scaled score Minimum possible score: 1 Maximum possible score: 19 A higher score indicates a better outcome.
