Child neuroanatomical, neurocognitive and visual acuity outcomes with maternal opioid- and polysubstance detoxification

Child neuroanatomical, neurocognitive and visual acuity outcomes with maternal opioid- and polysubstance detoxification
Pediatric Neurology

Maternal opioid- and polysubstance use during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of child neurocognitive and visual problems and neuroanatomical differences. We hypothesized that in contrast to findings from a previous study of children born to mothers not detoxified, children born to detoxified mothers would not show gross neuroanatomical and neurocognitive differences.
