Prevalence of comorbid psychiatric disorders among people with autism spectrum disorder: An umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses

“…Further, we evaluated the full-texts of 86 articles and excluded 60 articles that did not meet all the criteria of this review. Finally, 26 articles meeting all the criteria were included in this umbrella review (see Table 3), including 14 systematic reviews (Arnevik and Helverschou, 2016;Hannon and Taylor, 2013;Hedley and Uljarević, 2018;Kalyva et al, 2016;Menezes et al, 2018;Nickel et al, 2019;Padgett et al, 2010;Richa et al, 2014;Segers and Rawana, 2014;Skokauskas and Gallagher, 2009;Stewart et al, 2006;Vannucchi et al, 2014;Wigham et al, 2017;Zahid and Upthegrove, 2017) and 12 meta-analyses (De Giorgi et al, 2019;Díaz-Román et al, 2018;Elrod and Hood, 2015;Hollocks et al, 2019;Hudson et al, 2019;Lai et al, 2019;Lugo-Marín et al, 2019;Lugo Marín et al, 2018;Morgan et al, 2020;van Steensel et al, 2011;van Steensel and Heeman, 2017;Zheng et al, 2018).…”

“…The quality evaluation found fourteen reviews with high quality (De Giorgi et al, 2019;Díaz-Román et al, 2018;Elrod and Hood, 2015;Hollocks et al, 2019;Hudson et al, 2019;Lai et al, 2019;Lugo-Marín et al, 2019;Lugo Marín et al, 2018;Menezes et al, 2018;Morgan et al, 2020;van Steensel et al, 2011;van Steensel and Heeman, 2017;Wigham et al, 2017;Zheng et al, 2018), twelve reviews with medium quality (Arnevik and Helverschou, 2016;Hannon and Taylor, 2013;Hedley and Uljarević, 2018;Kalyva et al, 2016;Nickel et al, 2019;Padgett et al, 2010;Richa et al, 2014;Segers and Rawana, 2014;Skokauskas and Gallagher, 2009;Stewart et al, 2006;Vannucchi et al, 2014;Zahid and Upthegrove, 2017), and no studies had low quality (see the Supplementary material). Three clinical and one community sample were recruited comprising of children, adolescents, and young adults with ASD; study locations were not specified…”

“…Five reviews evaluated psychiatric comorbidity only among the children and adolescents with ASD Elrod and Hood, 2015;Menezes et al, 2018;van Steensel et al, 2011;van Steensel and Heeman, 2017). Moreover, four reviews focused only on the adult population with ASD and assessed the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among those participants Lugo-Marín et al, 2019;Lugo Marín et al, 2018;Morgan et al, 2020).…”

“…Five reviews reported a varying prevalence of sleep disorders among individuals with ASD Elrod and Hood, 2015;Lai et al, 2019;Morgan et al, 2020). For example, a meta-analytic review by Diaz-Roman and colleagues reported that individuals with ASD had impaired objective indices of sleep disorders including reduced total sleep time (-0.90, 95% CI: -1.51 to -0.30), longer sleep onset latency (0.53, 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.86), higher time spent in stage 1 sleep (0.48, 95% CI: 0.06-0.90), lower time of REM sleep (−0.88, 95% CI: -1.56 to -0.21), lower sleep efficiency (-1.20, 95% CI: -1.98 to -0.41) and higher time awake after sleep onset (0.49, 95% CI: 0.11-0.87) .…”
