Factors Associated With a Diagnosis of Constipation in Children With ASD (n = 85)

Adjusted Odds Ratio 95% CI P Value
Sex 0.79 0.20–3.11 NS
Age 0.81 0.69–0.94 0.01
SRS T-score 1.05 1.01–1.09 0.02
Nonverbal 11.98 2.54 – 56.57 0.002

Multivariate logistic regression, adjusting for sex and age, showed younger, more socially impaired (by SRS T-score), and nonverbal children with ASD had increased odds for functional constipation.
