学龄Asperger综合征儿童精神共患病初步研究

【目的】 初步探讨学龄Asperger综合征(Asperger syndrome, AS)儿童共患精神疾病的模式,为系统评估及合适的干预计划提供依据。 【方法】 对117例门诊确诊为Asperger综合征(采用DSM-IV标准)的学龄儿童进行回顾性分析,调查他们共患其它精神障碍的模式及有关因素。 【结果】 发现超过一半以上患者(59.8%)共患至少一种精神疾病,其中以ADHD最常见,占87.1%,而且共患病往往是多重的,占22.9%。无精神共患病的AS儿童其平均VIQ、FIQ(分别106.1±18.2;99.3±18.6)显著高于有精神共患病的AS儿童平均VIQ、PIQ(分别96.6±19.7;89.5±19.6)(P＜0.05),两者的PIQ差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05)。 【结论】 AS患者共患其它精神疾病是一个普遍现象,临床中对AS儿童应常规进行精神共患病筛查以便得到及时有效的治疗。
