Stability and predictability of Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development: evidence from a south Indian birth cohort prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

There is limited information about the stability and predictability of Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID) assessing child development in low- and middle-income settings. The objective of the present study was to analyse stability and predictive validity of BSID using an existing birth cohort.

Design

Prospective birth cohort follow-up study.

Setting and participants

A community-based birth cohort of 251 newborns was recruited and followed-up in urban Vellore, South India, until 9 years of age. Using BSID-III, child development was measured at 6, 15, 24 and 36 months.
