Neuropsychological score differences between children with and without prenatal exposure to general anesthesia. The scores included the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (CELF), Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices (CPM), Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT), McCarron Assessment of Neuromuscular Development (MAND) Neurodevelopmental Index (NDI), and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Score differences are adjusted for demographic and clinical covariates (sex, race, maternal school level, income, alcohol or tobacco use during pregnancy, and presence of any maternal clinical diagnoses: diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, psychiatric disorders, or thyroid dysfunction).
