Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the usefulness of the communication domain in the Korean version of Ages and Stages Questionnaire (K-ASQ), and short form of the Korean version of MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (M-B CDI-K), as screening tests for language developmental delay. METHODS: Data was collected between April 2010 and December 2013, from children who visited either the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation or the Developmental Delay Clinic, presenting with language development delay as their chief complaint. All the children took the short form of M-B CDI-K and K-ASQ as screening tests, and received diagnostic language assessments including Sequenced Language Scale for Infants (SELSI) or Preschool Receptive-Expressive Language Scale (PRES). RESULTS: A total of 206 children, mean age 29.7 months, were enrolled. The final diagnoses were developmental language disorder, global developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, etc. The M-B CDI-K short form and the communication domain of the K-ASQ had 95.9% and 76.7% sensitivity, and 82.4% and 85.3% specificity, with regards to diagnostic language assessments. The M-B CDI-K short form showed higher negative predictive value and better accuracy than the communication domain of the K-ASQ. CONCLUSION: The screening ability of K-ASQ was not sufficient for children with language development delay, and the M-B CDI-K short form should be implemented for additional screening.

  • The Korean integral version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (K-ASQ) is valid as a screening tool for mixed developmental disorders and, to a lesser degree, for isolated DLD.

    “The study by Kim et al. [84], on a population of Korean children with a mean age of 29.7 months, highlighted the validity of the Korean integral version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (K-ASQ Questionnaire; [127]) as a screening tool for mixed developmental disorders and—to a lesser degree—for isolated DLD.”
  • The K-ASQ appears to be a good screening tool, but because its communication domain has six items exploring receptive and expressive linguistic skills, it is not possible to discriminate which item the sensitivity of the scale is related to.

    “The K-ASQ test appears to be a good screening tool but, since the communication domain is composed of six different items exploring the children’s receptive and expressive linguistic skills, it is not possible to discriminate to which item the sensitivity of the scale is related, thus failing to provide crucial information for the question under consideration.”
  • Questionnaires proposed to parents were found reliable and valid instruments as a first step to assess communication abilities in Korean children of an average age of 29;7 months, below 35 months.

    “(c) communication abilities in Korean children of an average age of 29;7 months, below 35 months [84].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
