    Routine developmental surveillance in children under 5 identified suspected disorders in 11-15% of participants. While valuable, national scaling requires enhanced specialist services to manage referrals effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Public Health
    • Developmental Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Developmental surveillance programs aim to identify developmental disorders early in children.
    • The Court Committee recommended routine surveillance for children.
    • Assessing the feasibility and impact of such programs is crucial for public health initiatives.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a developmental surveillance program in a general practice setting.
    • To determine the prevalence of suspected developmental disorders in children under 5.
    • To assess the referral rates to specialist agencies.

    Main Methods:

    • A two-year prospective study involving 2157 children under 5 years old.
    • Home visits were conducted for 382 newborn babies.

  • Data collection focused on suspected disorders identified during routine surveillance, excluding non-routine consultations.

    • Main Results:

    • Suspected disorders were detected in 232 children (15% of boys, 11% of girls).
    • 171 children (104 boys, 67 girls) were referred to specialist agencies.
    • The findings support the value of routine surveillance for identifying developmental issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Routine developmental surveillance is a worthwhile endeavor for early detection of childhood disorders.
    • National implementation of such programs necessitates increased resources for specialist services.
    • The study highlights the need for infrastructure development to support widespread surveillance initiatives.
