Results: [...] the relative risk of ASD increased according to the number of visits that included vaccinations.

Children with just one vaccination visit were 1.7 times more likely to have been diagnosed with ASD than the unvaccinated (95% CI: 1.21, 2.35) whereas those with 11 or more visits were 4.4 times more likely to have been diagnosed with ASD than those with no visit for vaccination (95% CI: 2.85, 6.84).


Conclusion
The findings of this study of children enrolled in the Florida Medicaid program between 1999 and 2011 include the following:

1. Vaccinated children were significantly more likely than unvaccinated children to be diagnosed with the following NDDs: ASD, hyperkinetic syndrome of childhood, epilepsy or seizures, encephalopathy, tic disorders, and learning disorders.

2. Increasing numbers of healthcare visits that included one or more vaccinations were associated with higher risks of diagnosis for ASD, suggesting a dose-response relationship.

3. Preterm birth and vaccination increased the odds of being diagnosed with all measured NDDs beyond the effects noted for only preterm birth and vaccination alone.

4. Children born preterm and unvaccinated were no more likely than children born at term and unvaccinated to be diagnosed with ASD, hyperkinetic syndrome, encephalopathy, tic disorders, and learning disorders. They did, however, have higher odds of seizures/epilepsy.
