The Developmental Assessment Scale for Indian Infants (DASII) remains the mainstay in India for diagnostic confirmation and validation of upcoming screening tools for development in infants and toddlers. This is an Indian adaptation of Bayley Scales of Infant Development which is the globally accepted gold standard. However, the DASII cutoff points used for categorizing development and distinguishing normal from abnormal development are not in agreement across different studies conducted over the last two decades in India. This is probably due to a lack of mention of cutoff points in the DASII manual and existing literature. The current systematic review summarizes the heterogeneity in literature for interpretation of DASII and its cutoff points. Also, a perspective on the ideal cutoff points is presented.
印度婴儿发育评估量表（DASII）仍然是印度用于诊断确认和验证即将推出的婴儿和幼儿发育筛查工具的主要依据。这是全球公认的金标准贝利婴幼儿发育量表的印度改编版。然而，在过去二十年在印度进行的不同研究中，用于对发育进行分类以及区分正常发育和异常发育的 DASII 截断值并不一致。这可能是由于 DASII 手册和现有文献中没有提到截断值。本系统综述总结了文献中对 DASII 及其截断值的解释的异质性。同时，还提出了对理想截断值的看法。
