“…The prevalence of child developmental delay in our study was twice as high as that from studies in Iran and Turkey [9,13]; however, the tool used for measuring the development was different. Both these other studies used the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) which asked the parents about children's activities and performances [14,15].…”

Objective: The first five years of a child's life is a golden period of their development, contributing to their future learning skills and social and emotional abilities due to rapid gains in physical and development. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of delays in development and growth among children aged 1-5 years and to explore their association with maternal age. Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the Northeast of Thailand during April-September 2014. Seventy Thai mothers aged less than 34 years who were admitted to the postpartum ward of a regional hospital and their first child were included. Developmental delay among their first children was assessed by the Denver II, Thai version.Results: Among the 70 children, 22.9% were suspected to have delayed development with delays in language (14.3%), gross motor (10.0%), personal-social (5.7%) and fine motor (2.9%) skills being the most common domains detected. A higher prevalence of language delay was found in boys (21.4%) compared to girls (9.5%) but the difference was not statistically significant. Children aged 36-62 months showed a higher delayed development, especially in the gross motor domain. The prevalence of underweight and stunting were common among children aged 12-35 months (6.2% and 15.6%, respectively) and wasting was higher among those aged 36-62 months (5.3%). Hyperactivity and showing anger when displeased were common. Conclusion:A high prevalence of suspected delay was found among children aged 36-62 months. Suboptimal growth was common among those 12-35 months. Early identification of developmental delay and early interventions may have a substantial impact on financial, educational, and social costs in the future.

“…The prevalence of child developmental delay varies from 5% to 40% depending on the characteristics of the study population and tools used [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Tools for measuring child development should be designed to measure an individual's performance and provide a comparison of standardized norms [14,15].…”

“…Demirci and colleagues reported that the prevalence of SDD using ASQ-TR during childhood in Turkey was 6.4% in a community-based sample of children aged 3–60 months 12. The relatively low prevalence of SDD in our study compared with other studies may be explained by the wide range of selection criteria used, as we included all children aged 24–60 months (screened by nine questionnaires), excluding children with chromosomal and/or genetic disorders, chronic illness, neurological diseases and those with congenital anomalies.…”

“…The prevalence of development delay in any of the five development domains in our study (9.2%) which is in line with existing literature in other settings. (5, 6, 8) In non-population representative samples in Brazil, the prevalence of development delay was reported to range from 21.4% to 46.3%, using different appraisal tools and in different ages. (20, 21) To the best of our knowledge this is the first comprehensive population-based study of the risk of child development delay in Brazil.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence of child development delay and to identify socioeconomic determinants.Study DesignWe conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of children 2 to 72 months of age residing in the state of Ceará, Brazil. In total, 3200 households were randomly selected for participation in the study and had child development assessed with the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) version 3. Development delay was defined as a score less than −2 standard deviations below the median of the Brazilian ASQ standard. We present population-level prevalence of delay in five development domains and assess socioeconomic determinants.ResultsA total of 3566 children completed the ASQ development assessment of which 9.2% (95% CI: 8.1-10.5) had at least one domain with development delay. The prevalence of delay increased with age in all domains and males were at higher risk for communication, gross motor and personal-social development delays as compared to females (p-values <0.05). We found robust associations of indicators of socioeconomic status with risk of development delay; increasing monthly income and higher social class were associated with reduced risk of delay across all domains (p-values <0.05). In addition, children in poor households that participated in conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs appeared to have reduced risk of delay as compared to children from households that were eligible, but did not participate, in CCT programs.ConclusionsThere is a relatively high population-level prevalence of development delay in at least one domain among children 0-6 years of age in Ceará, Brazil. Integrated child development, social support, and poverty reduction interventions may reduce the population-level prevalence of development delay in Ceará and similar settings.
