在发展中国家，约有2亿发育不良的儿童无法在学业上取得优异成绩。检测发育迟缓儿童是针对早期干预的基础。由于蒙古缺乏方便的筛查工具仍然是一个重大障碍，我们的目标是在蒙古生产一种易于管理的发育筛查工具，并根据国际公认的工具对其进行验证，贝利婴幼儿发展量表第三版（Bayley-III）方法编制了蒙古族快速婴儿量表，共161个项目，分为7个发展领域，适用于0月~ 16日龄儿童42个月15天。我们在蒙古乌兰巴托招募了150名儿童。进行面部和内容效度的工具后，我们评估并发validity.ResultsConcurrent效度范围从高相关性（r=0.86）非常高（r=0.97）的两个测试之间的每个相应的域。汇总统计显示良好的敏感性（81.8%）和中度特异性（52.3%）。结论我们新开发的工具只需15分钟即可完成，易于管理。该量表具有较好的同时效度和敏感性，可用于儿童发育状况的筛查。这一创新工具将有助于查明蒙古可能受益于早期干预的儿童。
AimIn developing countries, around 200 million children with poor development cannot excel academically. Detecting children with developmental delay is fundamental in targeting early interventions. As the lack of a convenient screening tool in Mongolia remains a significant barrier, we aimed to produce an easy-to-administer developmental screening tool in Mongolia and to validate it against an internationally recognised instrument, the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development Third Edition (Bayley-III).MethodsWe developed the Mongolian Rapid Baby Scale consisting of 161 items arranged under seven developmental domains for children aged from zero months 16days to 42months 15days. We recruited 150 children in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. After conducting face and content validity of the tool, we evaluated concurrent validity.ResultsConcurrent validity ranged from high correlation (r=0.86) to very high (r=0.97) for each of the corresponding domains between the two tests. Summary statistics showed good sensitivity (81.8%) and moderate specificity (52.3%).ConclusionOur newly developed tool takes only 15min to complete and is easy to administer. It demonstrated good concurrent validity and sensitivity for the screening of developmental status in young children. This innovative tool will be useful to identify children who may benefit from early interventions in Mongolia.
