Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 73 (May 2019) . - 101547 Titre : Rates of autism spectrum disorder diagnoses for children and adolescents in the Hutt Valley Region of New Zealand between 2012 and 2016 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Heather DRYSDALE, Auteur ; Larah VAN DER MEER, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101547 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Diagnostic rates  Incidence  New Zealand Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The rate of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses has been increasing internationally. To date New Zealand has no published data on rates of ASD diagnoses. Methods We collected data for 2012–2016 ASD referrals to the Hutt Valley District Health Board in New Zealand. Participants included 0?19?year olds with a new ASD diagnosis made between 2012 and 2016, domiciled in the Hutt Valley at the time of diagnosis. Information was gathered on age, sex, ethnicity, comorbidities and language level at the time of diagnosis. Results 228 participants were included in the study. In total across 0?19?year olds, results indicated a rate of 1.48 ASD diagnoses per 1000 people. A ratio of 4:1 males to females were diagnosed. Over half of individuals identified as NZ European (55.2 %) followed by M?ori (23.6 %). Conclusions The rate of new ASD diagnoses in the Hutt Valley area is similar to international rates. The data must be interpreted with caution because there was no systematic way of ensuring all children diagnosed with ASD were included. The rate of diagnosis for M?ori is higher than the population living in the Hutt Valley. This information could be useful for planning services and supports for ASD.
