Recent reports suggest certain behaviors among children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may indicate underlying gastro-intestinal (GI) problems, and that the presence of these behaviors may help alert primary care providers to the need to evaluate a child with ASD for GI problems. The purpose of this population-based study of 487 children with ASD, including 35 (7.2%) with a medically documented history of GI problems, was to compare behavioral features of children with and without a history of GI problems. Unusual sleeping or eating habits and oppositional behavior were significantly associated with GI problems. These behaviors, however, were frequent in both children with and without GI problems, suggesting they may have limited utility in a screening capacity for GI problems.
最近的报告表明，自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的某些行为可能表明存在潜在的肠胃（GI）问题，而这些行为的存在可能有助于提醒初级保健提供者需要评估 ASD 儿童是否存在 GI 问题。本项基于人群的研究纳入了 487 名 ASD 儿童，其中 35 名（7.2%）有经医学证实的 GI 问题病史，旨在比较有和无 GI 问题病史儿童的行为特征。异常的睡眠或饮食习惯和对立行为与 GI 问题显著相关。然而，这些行为在有和无 GI 问题的儿童中都很常见，这表明它们在 GI 问题的筛查能力方面可能没有多大用处。
