TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of epidemiological surveys of autistic disorder and pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) worldwide was provided, where the authors considered the possible impact of geographic, cultural/ethnic/ethnic, and socioeconomic factors on prevalence estimates and on clinical presentation of PDD.

TL;DR: Antenatal provision of cotrimoxazole for HIV-infected pregnant women with low CD4 cell counts may have indirect benefits for neonatal health.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that epidemiology, as a scientific discipline, is in constant evolution and transformation, and likely that new methodological tools, able to assess the complexity of the causes of human health, will be proposed in future generations of textbooks.

TL;DR: It is shown that the WHO guidelines are scalable to a national level, and their effectiveness in improving survival appears to be retained at scale, and capacity-building approaches for improving quality of care, implementation effectiveness, and lessons learned are reviewed.

TL;DR: Findings in epidemiological surveys of autistic disorder and pervasive developmental disorders worldwide most likely represent broadening of the diagnostic concets, diagnostic switching from other developmental disabilities to PDD, service availability, and awareness of autistic spectrum disorders in both the lay and professional public.
