本研究检查了 2001 年至 2010 年自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 干预试验中用于评估治疗反应的测量工具和目标症状/技能。分析了 195 项前瞻性试验的数据。有289个独特的测量工具，其中61.6%仅使用过一次，20.8%是研究者设计的。超过 2% 的研究只使用了三种工具，超过 7% 的研究没有使用任何工具。研究平均每次试验调查 11.4 种工具-症状组合，其中一项研究多达 45 种。这些结果表明 ASD 干预试验的结果测量缺乏一致性。这些发现强调需要为 ASD 领域的适当结果衡量制定指南。
This study examined the measurement tools and target symptoms/skills used to assess treatment response during Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) intervention trials from 2001 through 2010. Data from 195 prospective trials were analyzed. There were 289 unique measurement tools, of which 61.6 % were used only once, and 20.8 % were investigator-designed. Only three tools were used in more than 2 % of the studies, and none were used in more than 7 % of studies. Studies investigated an average of 11.4 tool-symptom combinations per trial, with as many as 45 in one study. These results represent a lack of consistency in outcome measurements in ASD intervention trials. These findings highlight the need to set guidelines for appropriate outcome measurement in the ASD field.
