Abstract
To screen infants of the general population for the risk of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The survey was conducted by a total epidemiological method in primary health care facilities in the three largest regions in Russia (Volgograd, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk regions). For the period 2015-2016, 74191 parents of children aged 16-24 months were questioned. The prevalence of risk of ASD (a condition of a pre-illness) was 103.5 cases per 1000 of children aged 16-24 months. Some of the children at ASD risk had a preventive consultation with a psychiatrist, 36 children (0.5 per 1000 peers) had severe clinical disorders classified as F84 - 'Pervasive developmental disorders' of ICD-10 (F84.0; F84.1; F84.8). From the perspective of predicative and preventive medicine, children at risk require complex measures to prevent the onset of a mental disorder or worsening of the mental state of the child.
