Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Exposure group are children who were conceived within 6 months of their mother having a hysterosalpingogram with Lipiodol dye. This is a cross-sectional study, the outcomes (cognitive development, growth and body composition) will be measured in one sitting. The duration of a single session is approximately 3 hours.

Statistical methods / analysis
We plan to recruit 50 children between 6-14 years old and compare the cognitive development, growth and body composition and compare these parameters with a control group derived from siblings.
A clinically meaningful difference in a full scale WISC developmental assessment is between 5-10 DQ points.
To determine a 6 DQ point difference in a WISC developmental assessment between the two groups with an SD of 10 and a power of 80%, 40 subjects are required in each group, We plan to test 50 to account for dropouts.
