To the Editor.—

The recent article by Golden et al1 on fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and infant development purpots to be a controlled study which suggests that infants with fetal alcohol effects can be classified at birth and that their developmental outcome can be accurately predicted. Although there are several problems in the interpretation of their data and conclusions, I would like to address a major methodologic flaw in this report which persists throughout the literature on FAS.
