Abstract
This study has screened 6150 infants between 4-18 months by Infanib Scoring. In this assessment infants divided to three group Normal, Transient and Abnormal by 20 items that based on French angles, Reflexes, Tone and posture. The transient group was visited 1 month later and the abnormal group was referred to pediatric neurologist for diagnostic evaluation and to rehabilitation center for treatment. The Infanib was selected because of high validity and reliability in the previous studies, and in this study the results show that the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value is equal to 90%, 81%, 85% and 87%. Thus the Infanib is proposed as an appropriate screening test in the developing countries because of quantified, reliable measurement of body tone and posture, short time for examination, and the ability of occupational and physical therapist, nurses and physician to perform it.

Abstract
Objective: High risk infants are those who have a history of one or more risk factors in prenatal, perinatal or postnatal period in their developmental period, shown as developmental delay (DD). The incidence of DD in these infants is higher than normal. This study is done in order to determine the incidence of motor developmental delay (MDD) and effective risk factors in developing of it in high risk infants who have been refered to developmental disorders center of SABA.
Materials & Methods: Study is a descriptive (incidence determination) and analytic case – control type (Effective high risk factors determination). The samples include 403 referred infants from health centers and pediatric clinics of Tehran that have the history of one or more risk factors. The infants with MDD defined as cases and infants who had refered to SABA center for other reasons as controls.
Results: The incidence of MDD in high risk infants was 30% that was significantly higher that of normal values. The most effective risk factors were prematurity (25.6), low birth weight (19%), neonatal seizures (7.4%), hyaline membrane disease (6.6%) systemic infections of mothers in pregnancy (5.7%) and severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (4.9%) in sequence.
Conclusion: Regarding to effect of above risk factors in developing of MDD necessary and suitable attempts should be done for prevention of these factors in order to decreasing the incidence of DD. Developmental delayed infants also should be diagnosed early in order to early intervention rehabilitation & therapy in order to achieve a better results.

Abstract
Objective: Because of the necessity for more and different follow-ups in children with developmental disorders in the early years of life, determination of contributing, factors especially those related to pregnancy is important in any community. This study was performed to reveal a correlation of anemia in mothers during childbirth with developmental status of 12-month infants.
Materials & Methods: This study was performed through designing descriptive correlation on 250 mothers and their 12-month infants who visited to health services centers affiliated to Qazvin University of Medical Sciences and Health-Treatment Services in 1390 in multistage sampling method. Data collection tool included informational forms, Ages and Stages Questionnaire. Thereafter, the data was statistically analyzed with and Chi-square, Independent T, Mann-Whitney and Logistic regression tests.
Results: The prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia in the studied community was 12% and the prevalence of developmental delay of children was 22.4%. Anemia had a significant correlation with developmental status of infants and its communicational domain (P<0.05). In the logistics model, hemoglobin showed significant correlation with developmental status of infants (P=0.02 and OR=0.31). 66.7% out of all infants in anemic group and 55% in non-anemic group were male boys. Also the male gender had a ratio close to significance level (P=0.55 and OR=0.052). Other variables showed no correlations.
Conclusion: Mother’s Iran Deficiency anemia showed to be in possible attribution with infants’ Developmental delay and it is compatible with the crucial role of Iran for central nervous system development.

Abstract
Objective: Febrile seizure (FS) occurs between 6 months and 6 years of age. Febrile seizure is a common disease in pediatrics. Some patients are retarded with recurrent febrile seizure. For example Drawet syndrome was started with febrile seizure and progress into the intractable seizure and finally are retarded.
Materials & Methods: This article is the clinical trial study. Population in this study are 86 children whit febrile seizure refer to pediatrics’ medical central. This study was carried out in 2013. In this study evaluated patients with febrile seizure’s criteria and included in the population. Children statistics with febrile seizure refer to pediatrics’ medical center registered and compared with other statistics. Data enter the SPSS program 18 version (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA) and used analysis statistical tests and also T-test, Chi Square tests. Finally evaluated total parameters by MIN+SD and reported significant difference (P-value<0.05). Numbers of patients determined according to previous study.
Results: In this study 46 patients with complex febrile seizure and early initiation of treatment were not retarded and haven’t any complications.
Conclusion: Early initiation of treatment in the patient whit febrile seizure very important to prophylaxis of developmental delay and developmental regression.

Abstract
Objective: The first years of life are particularly important because vital developments occur in all development domains including motor, cognition, communication, and social-emotional. Early detection of developmental delays is essential in planning for early intervention. This study aims to standardize the score of bayley scales of infants and toddlers development-third edition (Bayley-III) for Iranian samples aged 1-42 months.
Materials & Methods: Participants included 1700 children divided into 17 age groups of 100 children. The normative information was based on a national sample representative of Iran’s population for infants aged 1-42 months based on the 2011 national population and housing census. For each age group, the total raw scores of each Bayley-III subscale (cognition, receptive communication, expressive communication, fine motor, and gross motor) were converted to scaled scores with a Mean±SD of 10±3. The composite scores (cognition, language and motor domains) were obtained by summing up the scaled scores. The composite scores were scaled to a metric with Mean±SD of 100±15 ranged 40-160. Growth scores (ranged 200-800, with a Mean±SD 500±100), percentile ranks (ranged from 1-99, with 50 as the mean and median), and developmental age equivalent were also determined. Confidence intervals for all five subscales were also determined. To compare the development level of the US children (norm samples) and Iranian children, their mean raw scores in five subscales were compared for finding the difference in scores.
Results: The Bayley-III was performed on 1744 children aged 0-42 months, including 908 (52.1%) girls and 836 (47.9%) boys. In comparing the development level of Iranian and US children, it was found that the mean scores were significantly different in 28 age groups (P<0.05). In seven age groups, the US children’s scores were higher (age groups <6 months), and in 21 age groups, the scores of Iranian children were higher ( age groups >6 months).
Conclusion: For early detection and intervention of children with developmental delays, a test with a normalized score should be used in Iran. Using the US norm-based scores in Iranian children leads to inaccuracy in the early detection of children with developmental delays.

Abstract
Objective Children, especially at the age of <4 years, are one of the high-risk groups facing burn injuries. In addition, childhood is an important time for children’s growth and development because during this period, children acquire many skills in different areas of motor, cognitive, and social performance. Accordingly, this study investigates the effects of age, burn, and the amount of physiotherapy services on the developmental status of children under 5 years of age with burn injuries using the ages and stages questionnaire.
Materials & Methods In this cross-sectional study, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, information was extracted on 93 children under 5 years of age with second and third-degree burn injuries who were admitted to Ahvaz Accident and Burn Hospital, in Ahvaz City, Iran. The electronic link of the ages and stages questionnaire, which is one of the most common and widely used tools for measuring children’s developmental status, appropriate to the child’s age group was sent to one of the parents. They were asked about the number of physiotherapy sessions after discharge by phone.
Results The area of fine movements showed the highest frequency of developmental delay (8.25%). The results of the Mann-Whitney analysis showed that the mean age of children with fine movement disorders (area 3) was higher (P=0.016) and more time had passed since their burns (P=0.019) compared to healthy people. No statistically significant difference was observed between the number of sessions receiving physiotherapy services during hospitalization (P=0.74) and discharge (P=0.69) between these two groups.
Conclusion Burns is one of the influential factors in the delay of children’s developmental status, which involves motor development (fine and gross movements) and problem-solving. Movement disorder is more common in old age. Also, as more time passes since the burn, the delay of fine movements is more visible.
