The hypothesis that Asperger's syndrome (AS) may go unrecognised in forensic populations was examined by ascertaining the prevalence in Broadmoor Special Hospital.
The entire male patient population was screened by examination of case notes. Identified cases were subject to the next stage of the study, which involved observation and interviewing of patients, and a semi-structured interview of key staff.
A prevalence of 1.5% (0.6% to 3.3%, 95% CI) was found. The addition of equivocal cases increased the prevalence to 2.3%.
The prevalence of AS in Broadmoor Hospital is greater than that reported for the general population.
通过确定布罗德莫尔专科医院的患病率,研究了阿斯伯格综合征(AS)在法医群体中可能未被识别的假说。
通过检查病历对全体男性患者进行筛查。确诊病例进入研究的下一阶段,包括对患者的观察和访谈,以及对关键工作人员的半结构化访谈。
发现患病率为1.5%(0.6%至3.3%,95%置信区间)。加上疑似病例后,患病率增至2.3%。
布罗德莫尔医院AS的患病率高于一般人群的报告患病率。
