Sensibilidad y especificidad del protocolo rápido de la evaluación pragmática revisado en población infantil.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: the aim of the study is to know the level of sensitivity and specificity of the rapid pragmatic evaluation protocol revised from proposing cut-off points to classify children from 3 to 4 years 11 months METHODS: Correlational type study with quantitative analysis and epistemological paradigm inferential quasi-experimental RESULTS: 3 cut-off points were established for pragmatic skills established in the PREP-R, the sensitivity and specificity of the protocol is low, the sick population (16 children) corroborated their scores in the SAlT software. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION: the sensitivity and specificity of the test was not precise when classifying the cutoff points as low, medium and high since the SALT software corroborates that a child was poorly classified as low. CONCLUSIONS: Sensitivity and specificity parameters should always be two recurrent elements in the reasoning of clinicians regarding decision making for evaluation.
