作者使用了一个国家数据库来检查自闭症谱系障碍的患病率和发病率。国家卫生研究所提供了100万随机参与者的数据库进行研究。以人口为基础的372 642名年龄小于18岁的人作为动态队列。这些研究参与者在1996年至2005年期间至少有一次服务索赔，主要诊断为自闭症谱系障碍。自1996年至2005年，自闭症谱系障碍的累积患病率由每1万人1.79人上升至28.72人。从1997年到2005年，自闭症谱系障碍的年发病率从每10000人中0.91人增加到4.41人。在0至5岁年龄组、男性以及居住在北部、南部、东部地区和城市地区的人群中发现了较高的发病率。我们的研究结果显示台湾接受治疗的自闭症谱系障碍的患病率和发病率都有所增加。
The authors used a national database to examine the prevalence and incidence of autism spectrum disorders. The National Health Research Institute provided a database of 1 000 000 random participants for study. A population-based sample of 372 642 aged younger than 18 was obtained as a dynamic cohort. Those study participants who had at least one service claim from 1996 to 2005 with a principal diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders were identified. The cumulative prevalence of autism spectrum disorders increased from 1.79 to 28.72 per 10 000 from 1996 to 2005. The annual incidence of autism spectrum disorders increased from 0.91 to 4.41 per 10 000 per year from 1997 to 2005. Higher incidence was detected in the 0 to 5 age group, in males, and in those who lived in northern, southern, and eastern regions and urban areas. Our findings suggest increases in the prevalence and incidence of treated autism spectrum disorders in Taiwan.
