Cat Lúcia Helena C. dos Santos Medicina Child triage mental disorders Objective : To investigate the Brazilian version of Pediat - ric Symptom Checklist (PSC) as a screening tool to identify psychosocial and emotional problems in schoolchildren from six to 12 years old. Methods: Diagnostic test conducted in a public school of Curitiba, Paraná (Southern Brazil), to evaluate the PSC accuracy and consistency, considering the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) as the gold standard. Among 415 par - ents invited for the study, 145 responded to both PSC and CBCL. The results of the two instruments were compared. PSC and CBCL were considered positive if scores ≥ 28 and >70 respectively. Results : Among the 145 cases, 49 (33.8%) were positive for both PSC and CBCL. The ROC curve showed the PSC score of 21 as the best cutoff point for screening psychosocial and emo - tional problems, with a sensitivity of 96.8% and a specificity of 86.7%. Regarding the reference cutoff (score ≥ 28 points), the sensitivity was 64.5% and the specificity, 100.0%, similar to those found in the original version of the tool. Conclusions : The Portuguese version of PSC was effec - tive for early identification of emotional and/or psychosocial problems in a schoolchildren group and may be useful for pediatricians. 2013 artículo científico 0103-0582 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406038969013 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4060 Revista Paulista de Pediatria application/pdf Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo Revista Paulista de Pediatria (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.31 |
