The problem
Intervention: Standardization of the Japanese Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (PediEAT-J) with established age-based norms and clinical cut-offs for screening
Who it was tested with: Children aged 6 to 77 months in Japan (662 typically developing children and 35 with identified feeding problems).
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis yielded an area under the curve of 0.835, with optimal cut-offs of 0.74 for sensitivity and 0.84 for specificity." This demonstrates the tool's ability to discriminate between children with and without feeding difficulties in the Japanese population.
Study establishes norms and diagnostic accuracy but does not measure whether screening leads to earlier intervention or improved child outcomes. The small number of children with feeding problems (35) limits confidence in sensitivity/specificity estimates.
