本研究比较了儿童（6至12岁）的DSM-IV症状与广泛性发育障碍（PDD），临床对照和社区样本。家长/教师完成了四个样本的儿童症状量表-4：PDD（N = 284/284）和非PDD精神病诊所转诊（N = 189/1811）和学生在常规（N = 385/404）和特殊（N = 61/60）教育班。PDD组的症状严重程度评分高于常规教育组，但与非PDD临床样本相似。ADHD、ODD和广泛性焦虑障碍的筛查患病率最高。PDD亚型表现出不同的精神症状的发生率较高。症状严重程度评分的评分者和性别差异幅度不大。临床转诊的PDD儿童表现出与非PDD临床转诊高度相似的精神症状模式。虽然还需要对合并症进行更多的研究，但这些症状具有重要的治疗意义。
This study compares DSM-IV symptoms in children (ages 6 to 12 years) with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), clinic controls, and community-based samples. Parents/ teachers completed the Child Symptom Inventory-4 for four samples: PDD (N = 284/284) and non-PDD psychiatric clinic referrals (N = 189/181 1) and pupils in regular (N = 385/404) and special (N = 61/60) education classes. The PDD group received higher symptom severity ratings than the regular education group, but was similar to the non-PDD clinic sample. Screening prevalence rates were highest for ADHD, ODD, and generalized anxiety disorder. PDD subtypes exhibited differentially higher rates of psychiatric symptoms. The magnitude of rater and gender differences in symptom severity ratings was modest. Clinic-referred children with PDD exhibit a pattern of psychiatric symptoms highly similar to non-PDD clinic referrals. Although much additional research is needed on comorbidity, these symptoms have important treatment implications.
