Comparing rates of agreement between different diagnostic criteria for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder: A systematic review.
Alcohol Clin Exp Res (Hoboken)
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Diagnostic accuracy in diagnosing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is under-researched, particularly in comparing different diagnostic criteria.
- A systematic review identified six studies examining agreement rates between eight different FASD diagnostic criteria, revealing a range of agreement from 53.7% to 91% for individual children and 59.4% to 89.5% overall.
- The study highlights significant variations in diagnostic outcomes and stresses the need for large-scale research to understand these discrepancies and their impact on clinical care.
Background: Data from birth registries can be studied to assess the prevalence of prenatal alcohol use and associated maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: Linked maternal and neonatal data (2015-2018) for alcohol-exposed pregnancies were obtained from the Better Outcomes Registry and Network (BORN) Ontario. Descriptive statistics were generated for maternal demographics, prenatal substance use, mental health/substance use history, and neonatal outcomes.
Prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in foster care: A scoping review.
Alcohol Clin Exp Res (Hoboken)
August 2024
The prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) has been reported to be disproportionately high among children in foster care compared with the general population. However, updated prevalence estimates of infants and children with FASD in foster care or the prevalence of placement of children with FASD in foster care make this unclear. This study examines two questions.

This cross-sectional study investigated the characteristics and outcomes of children and youths diagnosed with FASD between 2015 and 2018 at the Sunny Hill Centre in British Columbia, Canada and examined the relationships between prenatal substance exposures, FASD diagnostic categories, and adverse health and social outcomes. Patient chart data were obtained for 1187 children and youths diagnosed with FASD and analyzed.

Despite the scientific and clinical potential of studying microvascular dysfunction, progress in this area has long been hampered by the lack of methods to study microvessels intravitally.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to search for potential optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography (OCTA) biomarkers of BD and MDD.
