“…These data are consistent with a continuum of reproductive casualty (Pasamanick et al, 1956), whereby long-term adverse consequences of perinatal hypoxia may occur even in infants without detectable shorter-term neurological sequelae of their hypoxia.…”

“…In the fifties, the theory of ''continuum of reproductive casualty'' [7] stated that OC could lead to a gradient of lesions extending from foetal and neonatal death through cerebral palsy, epilepsy, mental deficiency, and behavioural disorders. After some work was conducted in the field dealing with the broad concept of OC, a cohort study was conducted in children with autism and childhood psychosis in 1975 [10], concluding that bleeding in pregnancy was associated with syndromes like autism and childhood psychosis.…”

j Abstract There are reports of significant association between obstetric complications (OC) and childhood psychosis. Authors conducted a case-control study of 102 children and adolescents with a first episode psychosis (FEP) and 94 healthy controls (HC), using the obstetric complications scale (OCS) and their medical records, to examine the risk of FPE. Patients were recruited from child and adolescent psychiatry units at six university hospitals and controls from publicly-funded schools of similar characteristics and from the same geographic areas. A logistic regression was performed to quantify the risk of psychosis in childhood and adolescence, based on OC, adjusting for potential confounding factors like socio economic status (SES) and family psychiatric history (FPH). OC appeared more frequently in the records of patients. Significant differences between patients and controls were found in Prenatal OC (15.7% vs. 5.3%, P < 0.05) and among them, bleeding in pregnancy showed the greatest difference between groups (12.7% vs. 2.1%, P < 0.01). In the logistic regression, bleeding in pregnancy showed a crude odds ratio (OR) of 6.7 (95%CI = 1.4-30.6) and 5.1 (CI 95% = 1.0-24.9) adjusted for SES and FPH. Therefore, bleeding in pregnancy is a likely risk factor for early-onset psychosis.j Key words early psychosisfirst onset -case-control -OCS BRIEF REPORT

“…In 1956, few years after the first definition of autistic syndrome, correlation of pregnancy complications and ASD has been studied for the first time (11). If the increase in diagnosis of ASD is an actual increase of incidence of these disorders, it is supposed that this is due to a new risk factor, or an increase of influence of an already existing risk factor (12).…”

Objectives: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by qualitative impairment of social interactions, impairment of verbal and nonverbal communication, as well as restricted interests and repetitive behavior. ASD represent a group of complex psychiatric disorders, with both genetic and environmental factors implicated in their etiology. Recent neuroanatomical and epidemiological studies point out to prenatal and early postnatal genesis of ASD. Aim: In this review, we present recent studies that explored the effect of environmental, prenatal and perinatal risk factors on development of ASD. Also, we point out those factors that have been proven to have the strongest association with ASD, and emphasize a very complex interaction of individual factors that might eventually lead to manifestation of this group of disorders. Conclusion: A precise defining of risk factors might provide more insight not only into etiology of ASD, but might also give us a possibility for early recognition and possible prevention of autism spectrum disorders, especially in susceptible individuals. It is also a first step in defining the basis of the gene-environment interaction mechanism, which might enable the development of an individualized therapeutic approach for this group of disorders.
