Neurodevelopmental outcomes were assessed at 24 months CA. Instances of neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) were defined by the presence of at least one of the following criteria: cerebral palsy, severe hearing loss, profound vision impairment, or cognitive impairment. Group-based trajectory modeling was employed to identify distinct BW z-score trajectory groups. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the associations between these trajectories, postnatal comorbidity, and neurodevelopmental impairments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The analysis identified three distinct trajectory groups: high-climbing, mid-declining, and low-declining.
