Abstract

Objective: to generate evidence of validity of criteria of the General Test for the Evaluation of the
Integral Development of Boys and Girls, between one month and six years of age (EDIN-II), in
the Costa Rican population. Method: the EDIN-II and Battelle-2 tests were applied to 69 children,
classified with: biological risk, environmental risks or apparently healthy, during 2019 and 2020.
Through a Receiver Operating Characteristic curve model, sensitivity, specificity and efficacy
discriminative efficacy of the test were determined, for differentiating “healthy” subjects versus
those with delay or risk of delay. Results: the EDIN-II test presented a value below the curve of 0.7347
[95% CI = 0.6040 - 0.8647]; it reached a global sensitivity value of 0.688 and a global specificity of
0.642. Conclusion: nursing may use the EDIN-II test in the different pediatric care settings, favoring
the timely detection of possible delays in child development.
