This is a clinical trial registry record describing a planned observational study with no results yet posted; it documents study design and data collection parameters only, not outcomes.
As stated by the source record.
Quoted from the source exactly as published.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05886361). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital. Recruitment status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING. Study type: OBSERVATIONAL. Enrollment: 600 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Somatic Symptom Disorder. Interventions: OTHER: No intervention involved. Primary outcome measures: Patient health questionnaire-15, PHQ-15 , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023); Health assessment questionnaire, HAQ , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023); Beck depression inventory, BDI , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023); Beck anxiety inventory , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023); Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023); WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023); Sensory profile , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023); Social responsiveness scale (SRS) , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023); Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023); Empathy Quotient (EQ) , Time of the original assessment (data collected retrospectively from January 1, 2014 to March 21, 2023). Brief summary: Autistic patients have higher rates of co-morbid somatic symptoms. Thus, compared to the general population, they experience more health-related concerns, such as autoimmune disease, gastrointestinal disease, cardiovascular disease, and autonomic disorders. On average, an autistic patient's life span is 16 years shorter than that of a non-autistic patient. Furthermore, autistic patients are often unable to convey or communicate their somatic symptoms in a clear and comprehensive manner. This leads to a lack of proper health care provided in a timely manner.
