Associação entre autismo e alterações gastrointestinais: uma revisão sistemática
Barra lateral de artigos
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
Introdução: A associação entre autismo e distúrbios gastrointestinais tem sido cada vez mais investigada, com estudos sugerindo que crianças com autismo podem ter maior suscetibilidade a problemas intestinais, embora a natureza dessa relação ainda não esteja clara.
Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente as evidências científicas mais recentes sobre a relação entre transtorno do espectro autista e distúrbios gastrointestinais, visando esclarecer suas implicações para o diagnóstico e tratamento. Método: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados BVS, Medline e PubMed, utilizando os descritores "gut microbiota" e "autism". Cinquenta e nove artigos que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão foram selecionados.
Resultado: A análise mostrou variações nos resultados, mas indicou uma possível maior predisposição de crianças com autismo a distúrbios gastrointestinais, embora a relação exata permaneça indefinida. A conexão entre autismo e problemas gastrointestinais é complexa e ainda incerta, destacando a necessidade de mais pesquisas para melhorar a compreensão e o tratamento.
Conclusão: Há evidências de uma relação entre autismo e distúrbios gastrointestinais, mas mais estudos são necessários para esclarecer essa associação e melhorar o manejo clínico do transtorno do espectro autista.
