Variables and Cut-Off Criteria for Each Measure in the Risk Score Model

Risk Score Variables Description Included Measures Variable Cut-Off Value*
Dysmorphology 1 Physical measurements consistent with a diagnosis of FAS Palpebral fissure length percentile ≤10 percentile, philtrum lipometer score >3, vermillion Border lipometer score >3 >0 criteria
Dysmorphology 2 Physical deficits associated with prenatal alcohol exposure Incomplete extension of digits, Ptosis >0 criteria
VABS Parent-reported adaptive functioning skills Socialization, Communication, Daily Living Skills >1 domain with standard scores <86
CBCL Parent-reported behavior concerns Somatic Complaints, Social Problems, Attention Problems, Rule Breaking Behavior, Aggressive Behavior >0 subscales with a T-score >65
*

Subjects were assigned a score of 1 for each variable that exceeded the cutoff. Variables were weighed in the final risk score as follows: Risk Score = 1(Dysmorphology 1) + 1(Dysmorphology 2) + 2(VABS) + 1(CBCL).
