To estimate the prevalence of DCD in children between ages of 6-15 years attending
mainstream schools in a school district in southern India using criteria of Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
METHODS:
A total of 2282 children, were screened with Kannada version of DCDQ'07. All the
children who were identified as probable. DCD cases were defined by using inclusion
(Criteria A, B and C) and exclusion criteria (D) of DSM-5 which are ascertained by
specific tests.
RESULTS:
Nineteen (0.8%) children were identified as DCD with girls (1.1%) affected more than
boys (0.5%) at confidence interval of 95%.
CONCLUSION:
The prevalence of DCD using DSM-5 criteria is found to be 0.8% in Southern India.
Girls were twice affected than boys.
