Evaluation of ORALQUEST

Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Summary

Feeding and eating disorders are frequent in children of the general population. They are much more frequent in children with congenital chronic diseases. The analysis of feeding and eating disorders in children is difficult since their causes are complex and multiple. In addition to the clinical examination and the instrumental investigation, a parental questionnaire is very useful in assessing these disorders. The questionnaire (testing the right period of age, evaluating the 4 aspects involved in the disorders, translated in French) does not exist. Consequently, the Necker team of the reference center, has built a hetero-questionnaire named ORALQUEST, which analyses 4 dimensions of the feeding and eating disorders of young children from 9 months to 6 years: behaviour, oral motor skills, sensory sensitivity and familial environment. The objective of the study is to test the metrological qualities of Oralquest in children with congenital chronic diseases including feeding and eating disorders. The questionnaire will be proposed to 7 cohorts of children who are followed in Necker for : * oesophageal atresia, * cardiac malformations, * Pierre Robin sequence, * cleft lip and palate, * autism spectrum disorders, * ex-prematurity \< 32 AG, * chromosomal anomalies, and proposed to children consulting in the expert center for phobic and selective eating behaviour. The analysis of the metrological qualities of the questionnaire include several calculation and specialized methods: inter-rate concordance; test-retest; intrinsic validity, concurrent validity, sensitivity/specificity.
