Abstract

Objective: To compare the evaluation of the Peruvian Child Development Test (TPD) and the DENVER II Test (DDST-II) in children under 30 months of age with a history of APGAR less than 7 to the fifth minute of life at Hipólito Hospital Unanue de Tacna between August 2016 - February 2019.

Materials and methods: The study was a cross-sectional retrospective analytical observatory, with 44 children born at the Hipolito Unanue de Tacna Hospital between August 2016 - February 2019.

Results: A 44 children with a history of APGAR less than 7 at the fifth minute of life, 61.36% corresponded to the male sex, with respect to the type of delivery 56.8% was due to emergency caesarean section, 11.36% died before the first month of life. 100% of the children according to the Peruvian Test were cataloged with Developmental Disorder; while the DENVER II Test rated 30.77% as abnormal and 41.03% as doubtful. Based on the left deviation, a classification was proposed for practical purposes in which 89.74% of the children had left deviation in two or more milestones of the Peruvian Test. The bivariate analysis showed statistical significance of APGAR at the fifth minute of life with the DENVER II Test (p = 0.002) and of the alternative classification of the Peruvian Test with the DEVER II Test (p = 0.004).

Conclusions: There is a statistically significant relationship between the results of the DENVER II Test and the classification used for practical purposes of the Peruvian Child Development Test.
