The Study to Compare Denver 1 and Trivandrum Developmental Screening Charts in Children between 0-3 years and to Assess Developmental Delay at Various Age
Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To develop and validate a simple screening tool for identifying developmental delay among children of 0-3 years of age in the community. Method: 100 children from 0-3 Years of age were randomly taken from paediatric opd and screened using TDSC against DDST as a reference standard. Results : When one item delay in TDSC (0–3 y) was considered as ‘TDSC delay’ (test positive), the sensitivity and specificity of TDSC (0–3y) was found to be 83.33% and 91.49% respectively with a Negative Predictive Value of 98.85% and odds ratio of 53.75% with p value 0.0006. Conclusions : TDSC (0–3y) is a simple, reliable and valid screening tool for identify children between 0 and 3 y with developmental delay, enabling early intervention practices.
