Table 1 Effects of prenatal drug exposure on fetal blood flow metrics & associated effect sizes. Table of blood flow metric comparisons & associated effect sizes (Hedge’s g, reported as Effect Size [95% CI upper, lower limits]). Bold text indicates accompanying p-value < 0.05. Italicized text indicates accompanying p-value < 0.1
