The Trivandrum Developmental Screening Chart (TDSC) is a validated tool for assessing child development. It shows acceptable sensitivity and specificity for community-level screening.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Early detection of developmental delays is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Existing screening tools may have limitations in community settings.
  • The need for a simple, validated developmental screening tool for widespread use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate the Trivandrum Developmental Screening Chart (TDSC).
  • To assess the TDSC's performance against a standard developmental screening test.
  • To determine the suitability of TDSC for both hospital and community-based screening.

Main Methods:

  • The Trivandrum Developmental Screening Chart (TDSC) was developed using 17 items from the BSID (Baroda Norms).
  • Validation was conducted by comparing TDSC results with the standard Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST).

  • Testing was performed in both hospital and community settings.

    • Main Results:

    • The TDSC demonstrated a sensitivity of 66.7%.
    • The TDSC achieved a specificity of 78.8%.
    • These metrics indicate acceptable performance for a screening tool.

    Conclusions:

    • The Trivandrum Developmental Screening Chart (TDSC) is a simple and acceptable tool for developmental screening.
    • TDSC is suitable for use by community-level health workers.
    • The chart offers a practical option for early identification of developmental issues in diverse settings.
