Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between onset symptoms and onset age of 0 to 6-year-old children with mental retardation(MR).MethodsFrom Jan.2003 to Dec.2006,the clinical data of 1 101 children in Capital Institute of Pediatrics were retrospectively analyzed.Those children were 0-6 years old and were clinically diagnosed as MR according to Gessell Development Scale,Chinese Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale Intelligence and Social Adaptive Behavior Scale.Those data included physical signs,concomitant symptoms,classifications,and ages when MR symptoms were detected.The difference of the onset symptoms in different age groups was compared.SPSS 12.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results1.The ratio of male and female was 1.98 to 1.0.The youngest child was 1 month and the oldest one was 6 years old.The mean age was(3.05?1.65) years.Infants and toddlers accounted for 76.4% of the total cases.2.More than half of the MR children who were 0 to 6-year-old were either moderate or severe,more than one half.3.The onset symptoms of MR children with different age:dysmorphism(29.54%) and convulsion(28.64%) were the onset symptoms of children less than 6 months old;motor development delay(64.63%) was the onset symptom of MR children aging 6 months to 1 year old;motor development delay(45.96%) and language development delay(24.69%) were the onset symptoms of MR children aging 1 to 3 years old;and language development delay(43.46%) was onset symptom of MR children aging 3 to 6 years old,respectively.ConclusionsThe parents can easily find out moderate or severe MR children,but not easily find out early the communication disorder of MR children.Publicity and education about MR should be enhanced.When infants are found to have disability in expression by their eyes,they should see a doctor immediately.
