Introduction: Very preterm birth is an important risk factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The aim of this study is the early detection of ASD risk, using a follow-up protocol, in children weighing less than 1500 g at birth or born before 32 weeks of gestation.
Methods: This is a prospective longitudinal study in which a total of 133 very premature babies were monitored to the age of 2 years with the M-CHAT autism screening test and, in the event of a positive result, the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2).
Results: 53 cases (4 out of 10) screened positive, and the rest negative. Among the positives, the ADOS-2 was administered in 50 cases, of which 24 scored above the ASD cutoff point. The average age of detection was 25.39 months. The results suggest an estimated prevalence of ASD in the very premature population of 18.46 %.
Conclusions: The application of the follow-up protocol in the very premature population is effective for early detection of ASD.
