Brief Summary

Diagnosis of Language Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is difficult for several reasons. This study aims to establish a Chinese multi-center cohort for the early diagnosis of language disorder and ADHD in children, develop appropriate early assessment tools and formulate intervention programs and standards for early functional training. Based on a national multi-center research team with Chongqing, Shanghai, and Beijing as the core areas, the investigators established a specific disease cohort for early diagnosis of language disorder and ADHD: a specific disease cohort with language disorder (900 cases) who were 1-3 years when the follow-up started, and 4-6 years old at the end of follow-up; a specific cohort with ADHD (1200 cases) who were 3-6 years when the follow-up started, and 7-9 years old at the end of follow-up. At the time of enrollment, professional assessments such as clinical development indicators and neurological function indicators were assessed using functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS). Outcome measures were speech impairment and hyperactivity. Blood samples were taken from 600 speech-impaired patients and 800 ADHD patients. Of these, 800 ADHD subjects completed an fNIRS imaging task. Build an intelligent brain image big data analysis system to realize early quality control, processing, and analysis of brain images, and study objective markers for early disease detection. The investigators can use machine learning and applications for early diagnosis, developing big data analysis tools such as integrated clinical assessment and brain imaging, promoting comprehensive clinical assessment and big data analysis tools systems such as brain imaging, and building assessment tools for language disorders and ADHD. Through the implementation and results of the multi-center special disease cohort platform, evidence-based medical evidence is collected to form clinical standards and guidelines.

Detailed Description

1. Procedures. From December 2022 to May 2024, the research team completed the collection and follow-up of 900 cases of language disorder and 1,200 cases of ADHD, and included them in the language disorder and ADHD cohort case collection database.From June 2024 to November 2024, 900 children with language disorders and 1,200 children with ADHD will be followed; blood samples will be collected from 600 children with language disorders and 800 children with ADHD; 800 children with ADHD will be completed using the fNIRS task test. From December 2024 to November 2025, complete the follow-up of 900 cases of language disorder and 1,200 cases of ADHD, complete the development of an early assessment tool set suitable for the Chinese children with language disorders and ADHD, complete the formulation of intervention plans, establish a unified standard, and extended the results to 50 hospitals.

2. Sample size. This study is an intervention study. The language disorder group and the ADHD group had to complete a two-year follow-up and intervention. collect blood samples from 900 cases of language disorder and 1,200 cases of ADHD, and complete an fNIRS task test from 800 ADHD patients. The primary endpoints were language disorder and ADHD.An electronic data acquisition system with a follow-up management module, multi-level authority management and automatic SMS notification function is adopted to build an integrated and standardized multi-center queue data storage and sharing platform. Based on the modularization of "core ability improvement", "specific ability improvement and ability strategy acquisition", "learning problems and interpersonal relationships", "social adaptation"; and other programs, sometimes combined with computer-aided cognitive training, parenting behavior management training and/or mindfulness training, aerobic exercise and other intervention forms can achieve personalized functional training intervention for children. Use brain near-infrared imaging technology to capture multimodal neuroimaging features of young children; use high-precision repetitive transcranial direct current stimulation technology to conduct positive neural enhancement and adjustment training on the target brain area. Based on physical therapy stimulation, neuromodulation improves core symptoms in children.

3. Statistical analysis. By integrating multiple methods such as scale evaluation, behavioral testing, and experience sampling into the tool library, digitization, and interface visualization are realized. Combined with the multi-center cloud data platform, a generalized linear probability model is created, and an early evaluation tool is established. Capturing multimodal neuroimaging features of early childhood using fNIRS; training a hierarchical machine learning scoring model using fused neural features. Based on the classic support vector machine algorithm, the detection model is trained with the post-diagnosis as the result label, and the leave-one-out cross-validation method is used for testing.

4. Ethical matters and data protection. The patients who participated in the study will sign the informed consent (obtained from the guardian). And this study was approved by the local ethics committee. The patient's name will be abbreviated and the research data will be assigned a code then to provide to the researcher. The authorization from parents on the patient's health information remains valid until the study is completed. After that, researchers will delete private information from the study record.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in Dream-Infant-Toddler Language Communication Screening(DREAM-IT-S)2 years

The scores obtained from the Dream-Infant-Toddler Language Communication Screening (DREAM-IT-S) administered at each 3-month follow-up reflect the language abilities of children.The total score range of DREAM-IT-S is between 0 and 10, where a lower score indicates better language communication ability, while a higher score suggests potential delays or obstacles in language development.

Changes in Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)2 years

Conducting follow-up assessments every 3 months using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) scores reflects the emotional and behavioral issues of children at different follow-up points.The scores on the CBCL typically range from 0 to 100, and higher scores may indicate that children are experiencing difficulties in behavior and emotional problems.

Changes in Infants-Junior High School Students'Social Development Screening Test.2 years

The scores obtained from the Infant to Middle School Student Social Life Skills Scale (S-M) at each 3-month follow-up reflect the social interaction, communication skills, and adaptation to social environments of the participants at different follow-up stages. The score range for the Infants-Junior High School Students' Social Development Screening Test varies depending on the specific assessment tool used. Generally, the scores may range from 0 to 100 or may be presented in percentile ranks. In general, a higher score indicates that the individual's social development is more advanced and aligned with age expectations. On the other hand, a lower score might suggest developmental lags or challenges in social skills.

Changes in the Gesell Developmental Scale(GDS).2 years

Children are followed up every 6 months, and at each follow-up point, the GDS is used to assess children and obtain their comprehensive scores in various developmental domains. These domains may include motor development, gross and fine motor coordination, language and communication, cognitive and thinking abilities. The score range for language development is 0-100, where a higher score indicates a more excellent level of development in the field, in line with age expectations, while a lower score may indicate a lag or issues in the development of that field.

Changes in Dreaming Children's Language Standardized Assessment (DREAM-C)2 years

The scores obtained from the Dream-Infant-Toddler Language Communication Screening (DREAM-IT-S) and Dreaming Children's Language Standardized Assessment (DREAM-C) administered at each 3-month follow-up reflect the language abilities of children. The total score range of DREAM-C can vary depending on the specific assessment criteria, but it typically falls within a predetermined range. The exact range depends on the design of the assessment tool and scoring system, but generally, it may be scored on a scale from 0 to 100 or other values. Lower scores indicate stronger language abilities and effective communication skills, while higher scores may suggest potential language development delays or communication barriers.

Changes in Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV) .2 years

Conducting follow-up assessments every 6 months using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV) scores reflect the cognitive and intellectual development of children at different follow-up points.
