Background: Early detection of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is essential given the under-reported cases in low- and middle-income countries. This first national representative survey was conducted to explore the prevalence of ASDs amongst 18 and 30 months in seven provinces in Vietnam.Design and Method: During 2017- 2018, a national cross-sectional and population-based survey for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) amongst 40,243 children aged 18 to 30 months was conducted in 7 provinces representing the socio-economic regions of Vietnam. M-CHAT was used to screen children and then confirmed by diagnostic assessment using DSM-IV criteria.Results: The prevalence of ASDs amongst children aged 18 and 30 months in Vietnam was high (0.758% or 1 in 132 children). Urban setting, male gender, and hereditable genes were associated with ASD prevalence.Conclusion: ASDs amongst children aged 18 and 30 months in Vietnam tend to be increasing and are similar to this rate in other middle-income countries but lower than that in Western countries. This under-recognized public health problem amongst children should be addressed by early detection and intervention for families with affected children.

Associar autismo e epilepsia é mais que casual ou aleatório, dado que ocorre um aumento na detecção de epilepsia após a puberdade nos transtornos do espectro do autismo (TEA). Mais frequente entre os menores de 5 anos de idade e em adolescentes, a epilepsia apresenta taxas de até 70% entre os transtornos desintegrativos. Contudo, não há dados suficientes quanto à prevalência de TEA entre indivíduos com epilepsia. Os mais conservadores estabelecem que a prevalência de epilepsia nos TEA é de 1 a 2% mais alta do que na população em geral, caracterizando TEA como fator de risco para o surgimento da epilepsia. Pesquisas se beneficiaram de critérios de diagnóstico mais bem estruturados e universais para os TEA e de uma nova classificação internacional das epilepsias, com melhor identificação e estudo da epilepsia nos subgrupos de TEA. Não mais se questiona a grande associação entre os TEA e a epilepsia. Estabelecer uma relação causa/efeito para a epilepsia e os TEA é tentador. Entretanto, não há evidência de que o tratamento clínico ou cirúrgico da epilepsia modifique o prognóstico dos TEA. Estudos específicos com essa população são necessários para elucidar o real papel da epilepsia nos TEA.

Abstract.It is undeniable the importance of early detection in all developmental disorders, in children with ASD as well, for an early intervention in children and their families. An early intervention is a very important predictor in their functional recovery. That, put together with the growing incidence and prevalence of this kind of disorders, makes of our study field a matter of an increasing scientific and theoretical interest. In the current paper we deal with earlydetection, evaluation and intervention in children between 0 and 6 years with autism spectrum disorders in andalusian health care system.Resumen.Es innegable la importancia que tiene la detección precoz de cualquier trastorno del desarrollo –y por ende del TEA- para la intervención temprana con los menores y sus familias. Una intervención temprana constituye un importante predictor en la recuperación funcional de estos menores, y esto unido a la creciente incidencia y prevalencia de estos trastornos, hace de nuestro objeto de estudio un tema creciente de gran interés científico y teórico. En la presente comunicación abordamos el circuito de detección, evaluación e intervención temprana en niñas y niños de 0 a 6 años con trastorno del espectro autista en la sanidad andaluza.
