Article Synopsis
- A double-blind, randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of fatty acid (FA) supplementation on children aged 2 to under 6 years diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
- Participants received either an FA supplement with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids or a placebo for 90 days, with blood samples collected to measure fatty acid and cytokine levels.
- The treatment led to increased omega-3 and omega-6 levels and reduced IL-2 cytokine levels, showing good tolerance and adherence, paving the way for future studies on its impact on ASD symptoms.
Objective: Children born preterm are at increased risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, early diagnosis of ASD is challenging because conventional screening Level 1 tools are less reliable in this population. We sought to determine whether the Autism Detection in Early Childhood (ADEC) and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) could accurately identify children at risk for ASD in a NICU Follow-up setting and thus facilitate referral for formal ASD evaluation.
