The results indicate that neonatal complications and prematurity alone do not significantly predict dyslexia diagnosis, but a negative trend was observed between intraventricular haemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia and reading comprehension and word decoding performance.

The sentences
Conversely, pseudoword reading ( β = −0.041, p = 0.579) and text comprehension ( β = −0.038, p = 0.673) exhibited slight negative beta values, indicating a possible trend where certain neonatal complications might be weakly associated with poorer reading outcomes, although the effect sizes remain small and non‐significant.
In contrast, pseudoword reading ( β = −0.025) and text comprehension ( β = −0.042) displayed slight negative beta coefficients, suggesting a weak trend where certain neonatal complications might be associated with poorer performance in these areas.
Birth weight showed a slight positive trend in its relationship with word reading and pseudoword reading performance, although it did not reach statistical significance.
However, these effects were small, inconsistent and failed to reach significance.
