| Objective To investigate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC), and to evaluate the correlation of the ATEC scores and autistic symptoms and developmental level. Methods A total of 77 children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) were enrolled from the child mental health research center of Nanjing Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from June 2016 to December 2018. All met the diagnostic criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5). Meanwhile, 71 healthy children were recruited as the control group.The ASD children were evaluated with the Chinese version of ATEC, Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Child Autism Rating Scale (CARS), Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and Gesell Development Scale. Children in the control group were examined with ATEC. We used Cronbach's α coefficient to evaluate the reliability of the Chinese version of ATEC and used the ROC curve to evaluate the validity. Results Cronbach's α coefficients of ATEC and its subscales were 0.750~0.787. The sensitivity of ATEC and its subscales were 0.922~0.987, specificity of ATEC and its subscales were 0.803~0.887, area under the curve of ATEC and its subscales were 0.924~0.972. The total score of ATEC was positively correlated with the scores of CARS and ABC (r=0.509, 0.580，P<0.01). The subscale scores of ATEC speech/language/communication, sociability, and sensory/cognitive awareness were negatively correlated with the developmental quotient of the corresponding of the Gesell Development Scale (r=-0.677, -0.383, -0.332, P<0.01). Conclusion Chinese version of the ATEC has high reliability and validity, and its score can reflect the severity of autistic symptoms and developmental level of ASD children. |
