A total of 384 (196 PCE and 188 not exposed to cocaine [NCE]) infants and mothers were screened for cocaine or polydrug use.

Birth head circumference (standardized estimate for specific path association, \u22120.05, SE\u2009=\u20090.02; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.02) and 1-year Bayley Mental Development Index (MDI) (standardized estimate for total of the specific path association, \u22120.05, SE\u2009=\u20090.02; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.03) mediated the association of PCE with Wechsler Perceptual Reasoning IQ, controlling for HOME score and other substance exposures.
