“…The increasing number of recent Brazilian studies that used the Bayley-III scales indicates the importance and usefulness of this instrument in the diagnosis of motor, cognitive and language delays in young Brazilian children (Ferreira et al, 2014;Hentges et al, 2014). However, the authors of previous studies used the original English version of the Bayley-III or non-validated translations that did not follow the guidelines for the process of cross-cultural adaptation (Hambleton & Patsula, 1999) [NCME], 1999).…”

Scales with evidence of validity and reliability are important to evaluate child development. In Brazil, there is a lack of standardized instruments to evaluate young children. This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III). It was translated into Brazilian Portuguese, culturally adapted and tested on 207 children (12-42 months of age). Evidence of convergent validity was obtained from correlations of the Bayley-III with the: Peabody Developmental Motor Scale 2, Leiter International Performance Scale-R, Expressive Vocabulary Assessment List and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test. Exploratory factor analyses showed a single component explaining 86% of the variance, supported by goodness-of-fit indexes in confirmatory factor analysis. The Bailey-III demonstrated good internal consistency with alpha coefficients greater than or equal to .90 and stability for fine motor scale only. These robust psychometric properties support the use of this tool in future national studies on child development.

“…The majority of these deaths usually occur in countries with low-income and almost 1 million of these deaths are attributed to infectious causes including neonatal sepsis, meningitis, and pneumonia (9) . On the other hand, the survivors of neonatal sepsis are vulnerable to short-and long-term neuro developmental morbidity (10)(11)(12) . Neonatal sepsis is defined as a clinical syndrome in an infant of upto 28 days of life, manifested by systemic signs of infection and isolation of a bacterial pathogen from the bloodstream (13) .…”

Sepsis is the most common cause of neonatal mortality and is responsible for 30-50% of total neonatal deaths each year in developing countries. The objective of the study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Creactive protein (CRP) in neonatal sepsis. Fifty nine consecutive patients with risk factors and clinical features suggestive of CRP sepsis were selected as per operational definition and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Detailed physical examination was carried out. Blood sample for culture and CRP was taken from all the patients. Results of blood culture and CRP were noted down in the performa. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS software version 16. Among selected patients 31/59 (52.5%) were male whereas 28/59 (47.5%) were female. Mean age of all patients was 15.47+7.26 days and mean weight was 2.94+0.63Kg. Temperature instability was present in 79.7%, Tachypnea in 69.5%, Tachycardia in 66.1%, delayed capillary refill in 64.4% and oliguria in 55.9%. Blood cultures were positive in 64.4% and raised CRP was found in 64.5%. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive of raised CRP was found to be 97.3%, 95.2%, 97.3% and 95.2% respectively. In conclusion this study show that C-reactive protein has high sensitivity and specificity for establishing the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis which is comparable to that of blood culture results.
