Abstract

Background Developmental delay is a common problem in
children. Early detection of this disorders is mandatory in order
to provide early interventions. Identification of the risk factors is
important for strategic intervention.
Objective To identify risk factors of developmental delay in
children under five years old.
Metlwds A community-based study of developmental screening
was conducted, in Bambanglipuro, Bantul district, Province of
Yogyakarta, between September and October 2007. Developmental
screening was performed using a Kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan
(KPSP).
Results Out of 632 children aged 3 to 60 months, 407 (64%) had
normal development, 81 (28%) doubtful and 43 (8%) suspected
developmental delay. A number of factors identified as the risk
of suspected developmental delay were undernourished (OR 2.3,
95%CI 1.1 ; 4.8) , low birth weight (OR 2.6, 95%CI 1.1 ; 6.1), low
educational level of mother (O R 2.5, 95%CI 1.3; 4.9) , working
mother (O R 1.8, 95%CI 1; 3.5), and poor socio-economic status
(SES) families (OR 2.7, 95%CI 1.3; 5.4). Multivariate logistic
regression analysis showed that poor SES was the strongest risk
factor of suspected developmental delay (adjusted OR 2.8, 95%CI
1.4;5.7) .
Conclusions Poverty, low maternal educational level and
intrauterine malnutrition during as well as malnutrition during
infant period are risk factors of developmental delay. Integrated
strategies should be conducted to solve the problems to prevent
more children suferred from developmental delay.
