PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 months of age

Individual outcome score is the sum of the following: 1. Rank for the Bayley score which was constructed from the Bayley Scales of Infant Development Mental Development Index standardized score for each child at 30 months. Deaths had the lowest score of 0, lower than the lowest standardized score of 49. Scores were then ranked from 1 to 182 (1 is worst,182 is best). 2. Rank for the difference between the anatomic and functional lesion levels of the spine was generated by a plain x-ray obtained at the 12-month visit for the anatomic level and the physical examination at 30 months for the functional level. The difference between the two was calculated where a positive difference means that the child is functioning better than expected by the level of his/her lesion. Deaths received the lowest score of -25, lower than all other possible differences. The differences were then ranked from 1 to 182 (1 is worst, 182 is best). For the overall score, 2 is the worst and 364 is the best.
