Prob 1: estimated prevalence of DLD in Mexico used as the pretest probability for DLD prior to the application of four questions in the PLCQ. Odds 1: pretest odds calculated from pretest probability. PLCQ4: 4 stratums of SSLR based on the results of the four questions in the PLCQ. Odds 2: posttest odds for DLD according to the result of four questions on PLCQ weighted by the SSLR. Prob 2: posttest probability calculated from the posttest odds. Preschool: (time children attended preschool) dichotomized into ≤ and > the median within age groups (for 4-, 5-, and 6-year-olds, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 years, respectively). LR: likelihood ratios for children ≤ median or > median for (time children attended preschool). Odds 3: posttest odds for DLD according to (time children attended preschool) weighted by the LR. Prob 3: posttest probability calculated after the combination of 4 questions on PLCQ and (time children attended preschool).
