This paper describes a total population study of Asperger syndrome using a two-stage procedure. All school children in an outer Göteborg borough were screened. Final case selection based on clinical work-up showed a minimum prevalence of 3.6 per 1.000 children (7-16 years of age) using Gillberg and Gillberg's criteria and a male to female ratio of 4:1. Including suspected and possible Asperger syndrome cases, the prevalence rose to 7.1 per 1.000 children and the male:female ratio dropped to 2.3:1. These findings are discussed as they relate to previously published results in the field and to findings obtained using Szatmari et al.'s and ICD-10 draft criteria for the disorder.
本文描述了一项使用两阶段程序对阿斯伯格综合征进行的全人群研究。对哥德堡市一个外围行政区的所有在校儿童进行了筛查。根据临床检查进行的最终病例选择显示，按照吉尔伯格和吉尔伯格的标准，每1000名儿童（7至16岁）中阿斯伯格综合征的最低患病率为3.6，男女比例为4:1。若将疑似和可能的阿斯伯格综合征病例包括在内，患病率升至每1000名儿童7.1，男女比例降至2.3:1。本文将这些发现与该领域先前发表的结果以及使用萨特马里等人的标准和国际疾病分类第十版（ICD - 10）该疾病草案标准所获得的发现进行了讨论。
