Only 62% of children suspected of DCD received a diagnostic assessment using the MABC-2, indicating gaps in evaluation processes.
Concordance between suspected and final diagnosis was only 40%, highlighting significant diagnostic variability in clinical practice.
Pediatric neurology clinic analysis showed 38% were given alternate diagnoses, with 22% revealing genetic etiology, calling for a broader diagnostic approach.
Initial assessments may not reliably predict DCD, reinforcing the need for comprehensive evaluations and an integrated team approach.
