  1. Values are reported as N (column %) or mean ± standard deviation. In the “P value’ column, ANOVA summary p-value was recorded on the top row while significant pairwise post-test P value were recorded on the bottom row. All pairwise comparisons were analyzed based on Dunn’s or Tukey’s post-test ANOVA depending on the distribution of the data (normal distribution or not). N, sample size; PMA, post-menstrual age; NAS, neonatal abstinence syndrome; FOR, frontal-occipital horn ratio
