Abstract:

The Denver II aims to assess the development of children between 0 and 6 years old. The aim of this study was to verify evidence of intra- and inter-examiner reliability, concurrent validity, sensitivity and specificity of the Brazilian version of Denver II. Cross-sectional methodological study. Participated 254 children, between 0 and 72 months, with risk of developmental delay. Two examiners verified the Denver II intra- and inter-examiner reliability. Concurrent validity, sensitivity and specificity were checked against the Brazilian version of Ages & Stages Questionnaires as a criterion test. Statistical analysis used the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, Spearman\'s Correlation Test and Contingency Table, the level of significance adopted was α=0.05. The results identified that intra and inter examiner reliability was excellent in all age groups. Concurrent validity showed moderate to very strong rates in the 13 to 60 month age group. The sensitivity and specificity indices ranged73-99% and 58-92%, respectively. The Brazilian version of Denver II has good rates of psychometric properties and is a reliable and valid instrument to be applied to Brazilian children at risk of developmental delay.
