Authors' recommendations:
Evidence on the effectiveness and feasibility of universal development assessment tools in 18 month old children is very limited. The literature suggests that CAT/CLAMS may be useful as a developmental assessment tool for preterm children at 18 months of age. While ASQ and CDH were found to have low sensitivity and specificity, TBCS and CHAT may be valid as screening tools at 18 months of age. The literature also indicates that children 18 months of age may be an optimal age to assess cognitive-adaptive delay in preterm infants using CAT/CLAMS. Additional research is needed to develop a screening protocol that will enhance the capability for earlier detection of children with developmental delays.
