Clinical review reveals parent-reported concerns accurately identify developmental delays in pediatric primary care, suggesting an efficient alternative to traditional screening.

Key Points

To assess the clinical validity and utility of eliciting parents' concerns as an evidence-based method for developmental and behavioural surveillance in primary care.
Reviewed evidence on developmental surveillance, early intervention benefits, and primary care screening limitations for identifying childhood disabilities.
Evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and feasibility of written questionnaires completed by parents in clinical waiting and examination areas.
Parental concerns demonstrate diagnostic accuracy comparable to formal screening tests, independent of parental educational attainment or child-rearing experience.
Approximately 92% of parents successfully complete written developmental surveillance questions while in waiting or examination rooms.
Interpreting parents' concerns effectively guides primary care decisions regarding developmental promotion, behavioural management advice, vigilant monitoring, and specialist referral.
