Developmental delay screening is essential in pediatric medicine. The purpose of this study was to estimate the developmental delay in apparently normal children at entry to kindergarten.
MATERIALS & METHODS: In this cross- sectional study conducted in 2013, the developmental status of a sample of children who entered to kindergarten at the age of 4-60 months were evaluated by the Persian version of ages and stages questionnaires (ASQ) in Isfahan county, central Iran.
Totally 680 children were enrolled, 11.8% of them were suspected to delayed in at least one domain and 1.3% and 1.2% in two and three domains, respectively. Developmental delay was in the following items: 5% in problem solving; 4.9% in fine motor; 3.2% in gross motor, 2.2% and 1.2% in personal - social and communication domains, respectively.
Considerable proportions of apparently normal children who are entering kindergarten had developmental delay, which could be detected by evaluation with appropriate screening tools.
发育迟缓筛查在儿科学中至关重要。本研究的目的是评估刚进入幼儿园的看似正常儿童的发育迟缓情况。
在这项于2013年开展的横断面研究中，采用波斯语版的年龄与发育阶段问卷（ASQ）对伊朗中部伊斯法罕县4至60个月大进入幼儿园的儿童样本的发育状况进行了评估。
共纳入680名儿童，其中11.8%的儿童至少在一个领域被怀疑发育迟缓，在两个和三个领域发育迟缓的儿童分别占1.3%和1.2%。发育迟缓出现在以下项目中：解决问题方面为5%；精细动作方面为4.9%；大肌肉动作方面为3.2%；个人 - 社交和沟通领域分别为2.2%和1.2%。
相当比例刚进入幼儿园的看似正常的儿童存在发育迟缓，通过使用适当的筛查工具进行评估可以检测出来。
