probiotics.xlsx

This dataset contains data from 131 children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), who were evaluted right before starting to take probiotics (either Lactobacillus Plantarum PS128 or any other probiotic; T0) and six months after (T1). Data include age, sex, presence of any gastroenteric symptom, presence of food selectivity (according to parents' judgement), if they had any disorder potentially being the cause of their ASD. The evalutation was conducted using Guy's CGI (in keep with the original description); severity was evaluted both at T0 and T1, while improvement score was evaluated at T1 only.
