Abstract

Background

In the Val-de-Marne department, health check-ups for children in the middle section of nursery school are carried out by the Maternal and Child Protection Service, and allow for the early detection of possible anomalies. Language is evaluated using the ERTL-4 test, which helps to identify a language disorder. Using data collected from health check-ups, the objective of our work was to compare the rates of children referred for language disorder assessment between the academic years 2018–2019 and 2021–2022 as well as the associated risk factors.

Method

Children who underwent a health check-up during 2018–2019 and 2021–2022 were included. After a descriptive analysis, a logistic regression model was constructed with referral or no referral for a language disorder as a function of the academic year and possible risk or protective factors.

Results

Among the 36,816 health check-ups analyzed, the proportion of children referred for language disorder check-ups increased significantly by 3.3 % (p < 0.001). The factors associated with this were male gender ([odds ratio] OR = 1.60, p < 2.2e-16) and schooling in a priority education network (REP), (OR = 1.54, p < 2.2e-16) or REP+ (OR = 2.76, p < 2.2e-16). An association with other disorders was identified (p < 2.2e-16).

Conclusion

This study shows that the proportion of children referred for language disorders has increased between the 2 academic years.

4 岁儿童语言障碍的流行趋势：瓦尔-德-马恩省幼儿园2018-2019学年和2021-2022学年健康评估数据比较。

背景介绍在瓦尔-德-马恩省，母婴保护服务机构对幼儿园中班的儿童进行健康检查，以便及早发现可能存在的异常情况。通过 ERTL-4 测试对语言进行评估，有助于发现语言障碍。利用从健康体检中收集的数据，我们的工作目标是比较2018-2019学年和2021-2022学年转诊进行语言障碍评估的儿童比例以及相关风险因素：纳入2018-2019学年和2021-2022学年接受健康体检的儿童。在进行描述性分析后，构建了一个逻辑回归模型，将是否转诊为语言障碍作为学年和可能的风险或保护因素的函数：在分析的 36 816 次健康体检中，转诊进行语言障碍体检的儿童比例显著增加了 3.3%（p < 0.001）。与此相关的因素是男性（[几率比] OR = 1.60，p < 2.2e-16）和在重点教育网络（REP）或REP+（OR = 1.54，p < 2.2e-16）就读（OR = 2.76，p < 2.2e-16）。研究还发现了与其他疾病的关联（p < 2.2e-16）：本研究表明，两个学年之间，因语言障碍而转诊的儿童比例有所增加。
