“…The remaining studies used the PEDS as a developmental surveillance tool in primary health care and early childhood education/early primary school settings [14, 24–28, 31–33, 35, 38, 41–46, 51, 53, 58, 59]. Eight of the studies were conducted in low and middle income countries [24, 42, 44–46, 51, 53, 59] and two studies were in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities in the USA [33].…”

BackgroundParental concerns about their children’s development can be used as an indicator of developmental risk. We undertook a systematic review of the prevalence of parents’ concerns as an indicator of developmental risk, measured by the Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS) and associated risk factors.MethodsElectronic databases, bibliographies and websites were searched and experts contacted. Studies were screened for eligibility and study characteristics were extracted independently by two authors. A summary estimate for prevalence was derived. Meta-regression examined the impact of study characteristics and quality. Meta-analysis was used to derive pooled estimates of the impact of biological and psychosocial risk factors on the odds of parental concerns indicating high developmental risk.ResultsThirty seven studies were identified with a total of 210,242 subjects. Overall 13.8% (95% CI 10.9 -16.8%) of parents had concerns indicating their child was at high developmental risk and 19.8% (95% CI 16.7-22.9%) had concerns indicating their child was at moderate developmental risk. Male gender, low birth weight, poor/fair child health rating, poor maternal mental health, lower socioeconomic status (SES), minority ethnicity, not being read to, a lack of access to health care and not having health insurance were significantly associated with parental concerns indicating a high developmental risk.ConclusionsThe prevalence of parental concerns measured with the PEDS indicating developmental risk is substantial. There is increased prevalence associated with biological and psychosocial adversity.Trial registrationPROSPERO Registration: CRD42012003215.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/1471-2431-14-231) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In high‐income countries there is an ever‐growing trend to rely heavily on the use of screening instruments by practitioners. Among the many developmental/behavioral screening tools in use in the USA, for example, are the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, 50 Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status, 51 and the Denver Development Screening Test II 52 . More specific screening and/or diagnostic evaluation tools include the Connors ADHD Rating Scales, 53 Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, 54 Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 55 and the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire 56 …”

Low- and middle-income countries are experiencing a significant reduction in mortality of children under 5 years of age. This reduction is bringing in its wake large numbers of surviving children with developmental delays and disabilities. Very little attention has been paid to these children, most of whom receive minimal or no support. Thus, there is an urgent need to recognize that improving the quality of life of the survivors must complement mortality reduction in healthcare practice and programs. The incorporation of early evaluation and intervention programs into routine pediatric care is likely to have the most impact on the quality of life of these children. We therefore call for leadership from practitioners, governments, and international organizations to prioritize regular childhood developmental surveillance for possible delays and disabilities, and to pursue early referral for intervention.

“…A linguist from the National Institute of Translation and the first author (T.H.T.) who is bilingual, conducted forward translation into Mandarin independently, and harmonized everything into one draft after considering the Singaporean translation . Back translation was completed by another pair of linguists and a pediatrician not previously exposed to PEDS.…”

“…To examine the potential of PEDS as a screening tool in Chinese subjects, an initial study of a Mandarin translation of PEDS in Singapore noted a 90% rate of high‐ or moderate‐risk results . This was far higher than the reported prevalence rates for disabilities, and was due to inadequate translation of the word “concern” used prominently in PEDS, given that it is a synonym for “care” in Mandarin as in “do you care about ……” . Hence, there is an urgent need to validate the Mandarin version of PEDS before it is used in the Mandarin‐speaking population.…”

Interpreting Parents' Concerns About Their Children's Development With the Parents Evaluation of Developmental Status

Abstract: Parents' interpretation of the concept of "concern" varies across language and culture. Findings highlight the importance of evaluating a screening tool's use in local contexts before its widespread implementation to yield clinically meaningful results.
