Abstract

Aim

To measure the performance in activities of daily living and obtain reference charts in normal developing children.

Method

This is a cross-sectional survey study. We identified relevant items suitable to describe a wide range of daily life activities and set up a self-administered questionnaire. An initial set of items underwent a correlation analysis integrated with clinical judgment, to remove those items providing limited additional information. Factor analysis was used to identify latent variables, enabling the grouping of selected items into specific skill-related areas. For each latent variable, a model was developed to represent the progression of performance in activities of daily living as the child advanced in age.

Results

We collected data related to 3079 children, 1478 females and 1601 males, of median (IQR) 10.7 (7.2) years of age. The initial 268-item set was reduced to 154-item related to 14 domains and gathered into 30 latent variables.

Interpretation

The results describe the age-related performance in activities of daily living and produce reference values associated to an Italian population of normal children less than 18 years of age.

为发育正常儿童的日常生活活动编制核对表和参考图表

方法这是一项横断面调查研究。我们确定了适合描述各种日常生活活动的相关项目，并编制了一份自填式问卷。我们结合临床判断对最初的一组项目进行了相关性分析，以剔除那些能提供有限附加信息的项目。因子分析用于确定潜在变量，从而将选定的项目归入特定的技能相关领域。我们收集了 3079 名儿童的相关数据，其中女性 1478 名，男性 1601 名，年龄中位数（IQR）为 10.7（7.2）岁。结果描述了与年龄相关的日常生活能力，并得出了与意大利 18 岁以下正常儿童相关的参考值。
