Standardized Infant NeuroDevelopmental Assessment developmental and socio-emotional scales: reliability and predictive value in an at-risk population.

Abstract:

AIM:To assess the reliability and predictive validity of the developmental and socio-emotional scales of the Standardized Infant NeuroDevelopmental Assessment (SINDA). METHOD:To assess reliability, two sets of three assessors forming eight assessor-pairs independently rated the developmental and socio-emotional scales of 60 infants. To evaluate predictive validity, 223 infants (gestational age 30wks [range 23-41wks]; 117 males, 106 females) attending a non-academic outpatient clinic were assessed by different assessors with SINDA's neurological, developmental, and socio-emotional scales. Atypical neurodevelopmental outcome at a corrected age of 24 months or older implied a Bayley Mental or Psychomotor Developmental Index score of less than 70 or neurological disorder (including cerebral palsy). Behavioural and emotional disorders were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision. Predictive values were calculated from SINDA (2-12mo corrected age, median 7mo) and typical versus atypical outcome, and for intellectual disability only (Mental Developmental Index <70). RESULTS:Assessors highly agreed on the developmental and socio-emotional assessments (developmental scores: Spearman's rank correlation coefficient ρ=0.972; single socio-emotional behaviour items: Cohen's κ=0.783-0.896). At 24 months or older, 65 children had atypical outcome. Atypical neurological scores predicted atypical outcome (sensitivity 83%, specificity 96%); atypical developmental scores predicted intellectual disability (sensitivity 77%, specificity 92%). Atypical emotionality and atypical self-regulation were associated with behavioural and emotional disorders. INTERPRETATION:SINDA's three scales are reliable, and have a satisfactory predictive validity for atypical developmental outcome at 24 months or older in a non-academic outpatient setting. SINDA's developmental scale has promising predictive validity for intellectual disability. SINDA's socio-emotional scale is a tool for caregiver counselling. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS:Standardized Infant NeuroDevelopmental Assessment (SINDA)'s developmental and socio-emotional scales have excellent interrater reliability. Replication of the satisfactory validity of SINDA's neurological scale for atypical outcome. :Evaluación estandarizada del neurodesarrollo infantil (SINDA) Escalas de desarrollo y socioemocionales: confiabilidad y valor predictivo en una población en riesgo OBJETIVO: Evaluar la fiabilidad y la validez predictiva de las escalas de desarrollo y socioemocionales de la Evaluación estandarizada de neurodesarrollo infantil (SINDA, siglas en ingles). METODO:Para evaluar la confiabilidad, dos conjuntos de tres evaluadores que forman ocho pares de evaluadores calificaron independientemente las escalas de desarrollo y socioemocionales de 60 niños. Para evaluar la validez predictiva, 223 lactantes (edad gestacional 30 semanas [rango 23-41 semanas]; 117 varones, 106 mujeres) que asistían a una clínica ambulatoria no académica fueron evaluados por diferentes evaluadores con las escalas neurológica, de desarrollo y socioemocional de SINDA. El resultado anormal del desarrollo neurológico a una edad corregida de 24 meses o más implicaba un puntaje del índice de desarrollo mental o psicomotor Bayley de menos de 70 o un trastorno neurológico (incluida la parálisis cerebral). Los trastornos conductuales y emocionales se clasificaron de acuerdo con la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades, Décima Revisión. Los valores predictivos se calcularon a partir de SINDA (edad corregida de 2 a 12 meses, mediana de 7 meses) y resultados típicos versus atípicos, y solo para discapacidad intelectual (Índice de desarrollo mental <70). RESULTADOS:Los evaluadores estuvieron muy de acuerdo con las evaluaciones de desarrollo y socioemocionales (puntajes de desarrollo: coeficiente de correlación de rango de Spearman ρ = 0.972; ítems individuales de comportamiento socioemocional: κ de Cohen = 0.783-0.896). A los 24 meses o más, 65 niños tuvieron resultados atípicos. Las puntuaciones neurológicas atípicas predijeron resultados atípicos (sensibilidad 83%, especificidad 96%); puntajes de desarrollo atípicos predijeron discapacidad intelectual (sensibilidad 77%, especificidad 92%). La emocionalidad y la autorregulación atípicas se asociaron con trastornos conductuales y emocionales. INTERPRETACION:Las tres escalas de SINDA son confiables y tienen una validez predictiva satisfactoria para un resultado de desarrollo atípico a los 24 meses o más en un entorno ambulatorio no académico. La escala de desarrollo de SINDA tiene una prometedora validez predictiva para la discapacidad intelectual. La escala socioemocional de SINDA es una herramienta para el asesoramiento del cuidador. :Escalas desenvolvimental e sócio emocional da Avaliação Neurodesenvolvimental Padronizada do Lactente (SINDA): confiabilidade e valor preditivo em uma população de risco OBJETIVO: Avaliar a confiabilidade e validade preditiva das escalas desenvolvimental e sócio emocional da Avaliação Neurodesenvolvimental Padronizada do Lactente (SINDA). MÉTODO: Para avaliar a confiabilidade, dois grupos de três avaliadores formando oito pares de availadores pontuaram independentemente as escalas desenvolvimental e sócio emocional de 60 lactentes. Para avaliar a validade preditiva, 223 lactentes (idade gestacional 30sem [variação 23-sem]; 117 do sexo masculino, 106 do sexo feminino) atendidos em uma clínica não-acadêmica foram avaliados por diferentes avaliadores com as escalas neurológica, desenvolvimental e sócio emocional da SINDA. Resultados neurodesenvolvimentais atípicos na idade corrigida de 24 meses ou mais implicaram um Índice Desenvolvimental Mental ou Psicomotor segundo a Bayley de menos de 70 ou uma desordem neurológica (incluindo paralisia cerebral). Transtornos comportamentais e emocionais foram classificados de acordo com a Classificação Internacional de Doenças, 10a edição. Valores preditivos foram calculados a partir da SINDA (2-12 mess de idade corrigida, mediana 7 meses) e também o resultado típico versus atípico, e para deficiência intelectual apenas (Índice de Desenvolvimento mental <70). RESULTADOS: Os avaliadores concordaram fortemente quanto às avaliações desenvolvimental e sócio emocional (escores desenvolvimentais: coeficiente de correlação de Spearman ρ=0,972; itens isolados do comportamento sócio-emocional κ de Cohen =0,783-0,896). Aos 24 meses ou mais, 65 crianças tiveram resultado atípico. Escores neurológicos atípicos predizeram resultado atípico (sensibilidade 83%, especificidade 96%); escores desenvolvimentais atípicos predizeram deficiência intelectual (sensibilidade 77%, especificidade 92%). Emocionalidade atípica e auto-regulação atípica foram associados com transtornos comportamentais e emocionais. INTERPRETAÇÃO: As três escalas da SINDA são confiáveis, e têm validade preditiva satisfatória para resultado desenvolvimental atípico aos 24 meses ou mais em um ambiente clínico não-acadêmico. A escala desenvolvimental da SINDA tem validade preditiva promissora para deficiência intellectual. A escala sócio-emocional da SINDA é uma ferramenta para aconselhamento dos cuidadores.
