This MS Word file contains the seven Supplementary Tables alluded to in this manuscript. Supplementary Table 1 describes some covariates listed in Table 1 of the main text in more details. Supplementary Table 2 shows the results of ANCOVA analyses. Supplementary Table 3 shows the correlation coefficients between pairs of NBAS clusters and their statistical significance. The analysis is first shown in all neonates and then in neonates with CBL <10 mg/dL. Supplementary Table 4 shows the results of final models from stepwise multiple linear regression models predicting the CBL levels based on the NBAS cluster scores. Supplementary Table 5 shows the results of the final models from stepwise multiple linear regression analyses of the covariates on each of the four NBAS clusters chosen for SEM analysis. Supplementary Table 6 shows the results of the full SEM model. Lastly, Supplementary Table 7 shows the model fit indices for a total of 11 nested models. In Supplementary Tables 3 and 5 – 7, the analyses are first shown for all neonates and then for neonates with CBL <10 μg/dL.
