Are there neurologic correlates of in utero cocaine exposure at age 6 years?
At age 6 years, a cohort of non-asphyxiated children, 52 with gestational cocaine exposure and 63 control subjects, underwent a neurologic examination. Groups did not differ on any aspect of the examination. This finding, while reassuring, does not exclude the possibility of more subtle deficits.
