“…These findings are in line with other studies that did not find any or only weak relations with the level of depressive symptoms in children with DLD and their communication abilities (Beitchman et al . 1996, St. Clair et al . 2011, Sullivan et al .…”

“…Clinical levels of depression range from 20% to 39% in children and adolescents with DLD compared with 14–18% in peers without DLD (Beitchman et al . 1996, Botting et al . 2016b, Conti‐Ramsden and Botting 2008).…”

“…In addition, 5‐year‐olds with primarily expressive problems or with both receptive and expressive problems, did not differ in their level of depressive symptoms at age 12 years (Beitchman et al . 1996). Only difficulties in pragmatic language contributed to the prediction of depressive symptoms in adolescents with DLD.…”

BackgroundDepressive symptoms are common in children with developmental language disorder (DLD). However, risk and protective factors contributing to these problems are currently underspecified.AimsThe current longitudinal study examined the role of emotion‐regulation (ER) strategies in the severity of depressive symptoms in children with and without DLD, taking into account the severity of communication problems of children with DLD.Methods & ProceduresWe followed clinically referred children with DLD (n = 114, 49% girls) and without DLD (n = 214, 58% girls) between the ages of 8 and 16 years across an 18‐month period. Participants completed self‐report questionnaires at three time points. Parents of children with DLD reported on their child's communication problems.Outcomes & ResultsMultilevel analyses confirmed higher levels of depressive symptoms in youngsters with DLD compared with peers without DLD, with a decrease across time in the DLD group. In both groups, higher levels of approach and increasing avoidant strategies aimed at distraction or trivializing a problem explained lower depressive symptoms, whereas more worry and externalizing strategies contributed to more depressive symptoms. Within the DLD group, semantic language problems were associated with higher depressive symptoms. However, this relation was mediated by the tendency to worry or use externalizing strategies.Conclusions & ImplicationsResults suggest that interventions for children with DLD should focus on enhancing their adaptive ER strategies to help them cope with daily stressors just as in the general population.

Association of Developmental Language Disorder With Comorbid Developmental Conditions Using Algorithmic Phenotyping

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ImportanceDevelopmental language disorder (DLD) is a common (with up to 7% prevalence) yet underdiagnosed childhood disorder whose underlying biological profile and comorbidities are not fully understood, especially at the population level.ObjectiveTo identify clinically relevant conditions that co-occur with DLD at the population level.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis case-control study used an electronic health record (EHR)–based population-level approach to compare the prevalence of comorbid health phenotypes between DLD cases and matched controls. These cases were identified using the Automated Phenotyping Tool for Identifying Developmental Language Disorder algorithm of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center EHR, and a phenome enrichment analysis was used to identify comorbidities. An independent sample was selected from the Geisinger Health System EHR to test the replication of the phenome enrichment using the same phenotyping and analysis pipeline. Data from the Vanderbilt EHR were accessed between March 2019 and October 2020, while data from the Geisinger EHR were accessed between January and March 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresCommon and rare comorbidities of DLD at the population level were identified using EHRs and a phecode-based enrichment analysis.ResultsComorbidity analysis was conducted for 5273 DLD cases (mean [SD] age, 16.8 [7.2] years; 3748 males [71.1%]) and 26 353 matched controls (mean [SD] age, 14.6 [5.5] years; 18 729 males [71.1%]). Relevant phenotypes associated with DLD were found, including learning disorder, delayed milestones, disorders of the acoustic nerve, conduct disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, lack of coordination, and other motor deficits. Several other health phenotypes not previously associated with DLD were identified, such as dermatitis, conjunctivitis, and weight and nutrition, representing a new window into the clinical complexity of DLD.Conclusions and RelevanceThis study found both rare and common comorbidities of DLD. Comorbidity profiles may be leveraged to identify risk of additional health challenges, beyond language impairment, among children with DLD.
