After adjustment for GA, high SNAP-II and SNAPPE-II scores predicted IVH, mod/sev VMeg and EL lesions in cerebral WM. Only 2 highest decile for GA and a Z score >1, predicted EL lesions. Neither SNAP-II nor SNAPPE-II predicted CP. MDI and PDI scores <55 were predicted by both high SNAP-II and SNAPPE-II High SNAP-II and SNAPPE-II inconsistently predicted positive screen for ASD and small HC at 24 mos.
