Abstract

Prevalence of autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) in Oman is unknown. We conducted a cross-sectional study to estimate the prevalence of ASD among 0-14 year old children. Diagnoses were made as per DSM-IV-TR criteria and supplemented with information collected with the standard Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) questionnaire. A total 113 cases of ASD were enumerated nationwide, indicating an overall prevalence of 1.4 (95% CI 1.2, 1.7) cases per 10,000 children aged 0-14 years. More prevalent cases were among boys (75%) and among low-income families. Ritualistic interests were more common among girls as an onset-symptom compared to boys (p = 0.03). The reported low prevalence of ASD in Oman is likely due to under-diagnosis and under-reporting.

摘要

阿曼自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的患病率尚不清楚。我们进行了一项横断面研究，以估计 0-14 岁儿童中 ASD 的患病率。诊断是根据 DSM-IV-TR 标准进行的，并辅以使用标准儿童自闭症评定量表（CARS）问卷收集的信息进行补充。全国共列举了 113 例 ASD，表明每 10,000 名 0-14 岁儿童中总患病率为 1.4（95%CI1.2，1.7）例。男孩（75%）和低收入家庭中更为常见。与男孩相比，女孩的仪式性兴趣更为常见，是起病症状（p = 0.03）。阿曼报告的 ASD 低患病率可能是由于诊断不足和漏报所致。
