In full-term infants, the association with maternal alpha-fetoprotein expressed as MoM approached significance (β = –0.93, 95% CI: –1.86 to 0.01; P = 0.05).

Additionally, marginally significant associations with maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein levels were observed in both full-term (β = –0.02, 95% CI: –0.05 to 0.01; P = 0.08) and preterm infants (β = –0.12, 95% CI: –0.23 to 0.01; P = 0.05).
