It that studies related five applied children. specificity higher than 70%, but just Mottier test Screening Test (STAP), Checklist (SCAP) showed sensibility 70%. Conclusion: most accurate CAPD test. There no homogeneity presentation pass/fail criterion, or gold reference used establish presence CAPD.
