All-cause and cause-specific mortality in people with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review / Laurence FORSYTH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 105 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 105 (July 2023) . - 102165 Titre : All-cause and cause-specific mortality in people with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laurence FORSYTH, Auteur ; Marc MCSORLEY, Auteur ; Ewelina RYDZEWSKA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102165 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  All-cause mortality  Cause-specific mortality  Systematic review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise the current literature on all-cause and cause-specific mortality in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to identify whether they experience an increased risk of mortality compared to the general population and to establish which specific causes of death are most prevalent in people with ASD. Method Medline, Embase, CINAHL and PsycINFO databases were searched. The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021219582). Results 26 of the 8505 retrieved papers were included. 25 studies reported an increased risk of mortality for people with ASD. Out of 21 studies reporting the relevant statistics, 15 found autistic individuals to have at least a two times higher risk of dying when compared to the general population. 11 studies suggested that females with ASD were at an even greater risk of death when compared to their male counterparts. The most common causes of deaths were from external causes (particularly suicide) and neurological disorders. Conclusions Recognising the increased mortality experienced by people with ASD is an important factor in how clinicians, support workers and healthcare systems in general should plan and approach care for this population. Although a significant portion of deaths in this group occurs due to intentional or unintentional external causes, the reviewed literature also indicates that many people with ASD die from underlying health conditions. As the increased mortality risk seems to be partially mediated by the co-occurrence of other conditions, it is of great importance to provide an increased level of support and care for this population.

General health of adults with autism spectrum disorders – A whole country population cross-sectional study / Ewelina RYDZEWSKA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 60 (April 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 60 (April 2019) . - p.59-66 Titre : General health of adults with autism spectrum disorders – A whole country population cross-sectional study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ewelina RYDZEWSKA, Auteur ; Laura A. HUGHES-MCCORMACK, Auteur ; Christopher GILLBERG, Auteur ; Angela HENDERSON, Auteur ; Cecilia MACINTYRE, Auteur ; Julie RINTOUL, Auteur ; Sally-Ann COOPER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.59-66 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Adults  General health status  Health inequalities  Observational study Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background General health status in adult populations with autism spectrum disorders has been little studied. We aimed to investigate general health status and predictors of poor health in adults with autism spectrum disorders compared with other adults. Method Whole country data were drawn from Scotland’s Census, 2011. We calculated and compared the frequencies of health status in adults with and without autism spectrum disorders. We then used logistic regressions to calculate odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of autism predicting poor general health in the whole population, adjusted for age and gender, and OR (95% CI) of age and gender predicting poor general health within the autism spectrum disorders population. Results Autism spectrum disorders were reported for 6649/3,746,584 (0.2%) adults aged 25+years, of whom 46.8% (N?=?3111) had poor general health, compared with 23.7% (N?=?887,878) of other people. Poor health was common across the entire lifecourse for adults with autism spectrum disorders. Autism had OR?=?5.1 (4.9–5.4, 95% CI) for predicting poor general health, or OR?=?7.5 (6.9–8.2, 95% CI) when the interaction with age was included. Poorer health was more common at older age, and for women. Conclusions Poor general health merits attention across the full lifecourse for adults with autism. Health practitioners need to be alert to the burden of potential health problems to seek them out to be addressed, and so the health agenda can turn towards potential mechanisms for prevention and better support for adults who may call upon services for people with autism.

The prevalence of coexisting mental health conditions in gender diverse autistic people: A systematic review / Mikayla VAN RENSBURG ; Ling DING ; Ewelina RYDZEWSKA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 116 (August 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 116 (August 2024) . - p.102427 Titre : The prevalence of coexisting mental health conditions in gender diverse autistic people: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mikayla VAN RENSBURG, Auteur ; Ling DING, Auteur ; Ewelina RYDZEWSKA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102427 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Gender diverse  Non-binary  Transgender  Depression  Anxiety Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Previous research has highlighted higher prevalence of autism amongst gender diverse individuals compared to cisgender individuals. Both the autistic population, and gender diverse population, have been found to be at an increased risk of developing mental health conditions compared to the general population. However, little is understood about the mental health outcomes of those that are both autistic and gender diverse. Aims: The aims of this review were to assess the mental health outcomes in gender diverse autistic individuals and whether these outcomes were affected by biological sex or age. Method A literature review was conducted using the following databases: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE and CINAHL. The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023408287). Search terms relating to autism, gender diversity and mental health were used. Results 12/820 retrieved papers were included in the review. The most common health outcomes studied were depression, anxiety and suicidality. Gender diverse autistic individuals' mental health was poorer in all 7 studies when comparing to cisgender autistic individuals, in all 8 studies when comparing to gender-diverse non-autistic individuals and in all 6 studies when comparing to cisgender non-autistic individuals. Conclusion Gender diverse autistic individuals appear to be particularly vulnerable to experiencing mental health problems, more so than gender diverse individuals and autistic individuals.
