*

Derived from anonymized data from 80 normal healthy term (37-42 wk) and 43 preterm (31-36 wk) neonates (see supplemental Methods).

Defined as birthweight <10th percentile for gestational age.

Duodenal atresia, esophageal atresia, tracheo-esophageal fistula, imperforate anus, Hirschsprung's, renal anomalies

§

Platelet count not available in 3 neonates due to platelet clumping and automated MPV measurable for 6 of 17 neonates with TAM, 59 of 183 DS neonates without TAM, and 122 neonates without DS.
