Abstract

Background Early stimulation, detection and intervention are
important for child development and are recommended in the
early years of childhood for optimal results. The Indonesian
child development pre-screening questionnaire, Kuesioner Pra
Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP), has been widely used in public
health centers (PHC) and community health centers (CHC)
in the country. Howevei; the accuracy of this test has not been
adequately assessed.
Objective To assess the diagnostic value of KPSP as a prescreening
tool for child development compared to that of the
Denver II developmental screening test.
Methods We conducted a KPSP diagnostic study, using the
Denver II test as a gold standard for comparison. Subjects were
children aged 3 to 60 months. They were recruited from one of
three settings: hospital, community (child care centers) or schools
(kindergarten).
Results Of 210 children recruited, 182 were included in our
study. The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value
(PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of KPSP
were 68.8%, 86.6%, 64.7%, 88.6% and 81.9%, respectively. The
comparison of diagnostic value based on age groups showed better
results in the 3 - 24 month group than that of the older group.
Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the younger group vs. the
older group were 92.3% vs. 60.0%, 78.6% vs. 87.5% and 85.2%
vs. 81.3%, respectively.
Conclusion The accuracy of KPSP compared to Denver II test
was good for the 3 - 24 month age group. However, this tool
should be revised for the older age group. [Paediatr lndones.
