All standardised scores (response variables) were normalised to mean 100, SD 15.

Neuropsychological outcome of children with MB and EP 4.9 years after surgery.
Test results of ten different neuropsychological tests in the five different treatment groups are shown. Results are displayed as means ± standard deviation.
Table 3.
Results of multivariable model building, summarised over all neuropsychological scores.
For each neuropsychological score, the multivariable model building assessed the simultaneous prognostic impact of the variables treatment group (nominal: MBP, MBR, MBRM, EPI, EPS) and age at surgery (continuous: years). P-values indicate whether the potential explanatory variable was identified as independent prognostic factor in the multivariable model. Not selected variables were indicated by “N/S”.
