Estimated Proportion of Infants With at Least One of the Indicators of Neurodevelopmental Impairment Using BSID-III (Bayley Scale for Infant Development, Version III)	The estimated proportion (expressed in percentage) of infants with a BSID-III indicator of neurodevelopmental delay was based on ASQ-3 black zone indicator and subsequent BSID-III assessment using the following formula: 100 * (Number of subjects with ASQ-3 below cut off / Number of enrolled subjects with available results) * (Number of subjects with at least one indicator of neurodevelopmental delay using BSID III / Number of subjects referred for BSID III evaluation)	At 9 months of age, 18 months of age, and 9 or 18 months of age
