A low birthweight at 37 weeks’ gestation may potentially be a contributor to the likelihood of childhood developmental concerns.

Medical insurance claims might do more than help pay for health concerns; they could help predict them, according to new findings from an interdisciplinary Penn State research team published in BMJ Health & Care Informatics.

An interdisciplinary Penn State research team developed machine learning models that assess the connections among hundreds of clinical variables, including doctor visits and health care services for seemingly unrelated medical conditions, to predict the likelihood of autism spectrum disorder in young children.

Machine learning models assess hundreds of variables to find correlations that are related to an increased likelihood for autism spectrum disorder.

In a population-based cohort study in Scotland, Abiodun Adanikin and colleagues study the association of birthweight centiles and motor, communication, and social developmental concerns identified at ages 2 to 3.5 years of age.

KUALA LUMPUR: A national autism council will be formed by this year and a paper on the matter will be presented to the Cabinet soon, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

Screen media use in early childhood has largely increased in recent years, even more so during the COVID-19 epidemic, and there is much discussion regarding its influence on neurodevelopment, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We examined the relationship between use of TV, computer, tablet and smartphone at age 2 years and risk of ASD assessed in telephone-based questionnaires among 12,950 children participating in the nationally representative ELFE (‘Etude Longitudinale F...

Findings indicate the benefit of using early autism developmental surveillance from infancy to the preschool period rather than one-time screening.

Australian researchers say their screening tool successfully diagnoses autism in toddlers aged 12-24 months. That's three years earlier than current methods.
