Retrospective review of neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants treated for neonatal abstinence syndrome

Objective: Little is known about developmental outcomes in neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). We hypothesized that children treated for NAS would score lower than the normative sample on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 3rd edition. Study design: We performed a retrospective cohort study of...

Description
Summary:Objective: Little is known about developmental outcomes in neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). We hypothesized that children treated for NAS would score lower than the normative sample on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 3rd edition. Study design: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 87 infants treated for NAS and evaluated at 2 years of age. Results: Children treated for NAS scored significantly lower than the norm (mean 100) on all 3 subscales (cognitive mean 96.5, language mean 93.8, motor mean 94.0, all p
