Focused on mothers reporting high levels of alcohol consumption during pregnancy.

53.3% of children had fetal alcohol syndrome.
Significant differences in growth metrics and dysmorphology were found among diagnosis groups.
Higher drinking days per week in the third trimester correlated with more severe outcomes.
