    Author: Sanabra M, Gómez-Hinojosa T, Grau N, Alda JA.
    Journal: J Atten Disord; 2022 Feb; 26(3):426-433. PubMed ID: 33472511.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to analyse DESR and its influence on sleep parameters in three different groups of children and adolescents: a group newly diagnosed with ADHD naïve, a group with ADHD under pharmacological treatment and a control group. METHOD: Subjects were a total of 327 children and adolescents. Two groups diagnosed with ADHD: 108 medication-naïve and 80 under pharmacological treatment; and one group with 136 healthy subjects. DESR was defined using anxious/depressed, attention problems and aggressive behaviors (AAA) scales from the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and sleep through the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children. RESULTS: Significant differences were found comparing the three groups (p = .001), with a significantly higher profile on DESR in ADHD subjects, especially those who did not undergo treatment, and a positive correlation between DESR and sleep. CONCLUSION: Children and adolescents with ADHD without treatment present higher DESR than healthy controls and consequently higher sleep problems.
