We included all singleton euploid live births from 2008 to 2015. Foetal biometrics included head circumference, biparietal diameter (BPD), abdominal circumference (AC), femur length, estimated foetal weight (EFW), and the head\u2010abdomen ratio. NDD comprised cerebral palsy (CP), epilepsy, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Children were followed from birth until diagnosis, death, emigration, or 31 December 2022. Associations were examined using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, and cumulative incidence through age 10\u2009years was estimated accounting for death as a competing risk.
