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).
