At 18 months, exposed children were significantly less likely to \u2018use word-like sounds\u2019 but there was no difference between use of \u2018sentences of 2 words\u2019. At 6 and 18 months, there were no other obvious differences in language and motor development. At 7 years, cognitive scores [emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, peer, and social scores] and motor development [gross\/fine motor skills and general coordination] were similar between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Children exposed to IBD in utero and unexposed children scored similarly on survey-based tools assessing basic measures of neurodevelopment over 7 years.
