Objective: To determine frequency of motor alterations in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method: We evaluated 19 children aged 7-12 years with ADHD classified in three sub-types: Combined (ADHD-C), with Inattention (ADHD-I), and with Hyperactivity (ADHD-H). Controls were age-and gender matched healthy children. We utilized Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) for measuring motor skills. Results: We observed differences between children with ADHD and controls in BOTMP general score and in static coordination, dynamic general-and hand-coordination, and in synkinetic movements. We also found differences in dynamic hand coordination between controls and children with ADHD-C; in dynamic general coordination between controls and children with ADHD-H; and in frequency of synkinetic movements between controls and children with ADHD-H. Conclusion: Children with ADHD with a major degree of hyperactivity showed greater frequency of motor alterations.

“…ADHD diagnosis was carried-out in agreement with recommendations of the American Psychiatry Association guidelines 10 , as published by our work team elsewhere in a three-step level evaluation. The first step was the at-school suspicion and screening; the second was conducted by means of the DSM-IV-R questionnaire; and the third comprised the semi-structured multidisciplinary interview, taking into account the persistence of the disorder for a period >6 months of ADHD symptoms in at least two environments, such as school and home 2,11 . Children with ADHD were classified into the three recognized DSM-IV-R subtypes, as follows: ADHD Combined (-C), mainly with Inattention symptoms (-I), and mainly with Hyperactivity-impulsivity (-H).…”

OBJECTIVE: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an alteration that begins early in infancy and whose cardinal symptoms are inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. There are few studies for specific tests to measure Quality of Life (QoL) in children with ADHD. METHODS: We evaluated QoL of 120 children from 7-12 years of age with ADHD and of a group of 98 healthy control children. To measure QoL, we utilized the Questionnaire of Quality of Life for Children in Pictures (AutoQuestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant Imagé, AUQUEI). We evaluated anxiety in children by the Children´s Manifest Anxiety Scale-Revisited (CMAS-R). We compared results among groups and employed the calculation of correlation between the AUQUEI questionnaire and the CMAS-R scale. RESULTS: The total average of the AUQUEI questionnaire in children with ADHD was 45.2, while in the control group it was 54.3 (p<0.05). We also observed significant differences between the control group and groups of children with ADHD in the CMAS-R scale. We found significant correlations between AUQUEI questionnaire and CMAS-R scale. CONCLUSION: The main result was to the disclosure that low QoL scores in ADHD children was anxiety-related.

“…Following acceptance into the study, the students were included in the PSC-ADHD-Mex protocol. ADHD diagnosis was carried out in agreement with the recommendations of the American Psychiatry Society guidelines 1 , as published previously by our work team 7 , in a threestep evaluation as follows: the first step was at-school suspicion and screening; the second step was conducted using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4 th edition, Revised (DSM-IV-R) questionnaire; the third step comprised a semi-structured multidisciplinary interview, taking into account the persistence of the symptoms of the ADHD disorder for a period of >6 months in at least two environments, such as in school and at home. Children with ADHD were classified into the three recognized DSM-IV-R sub-types as follows: ADHD combined (-C), mainly with inattention symptoms (-I), and mainly with hyperactivityimpulsivity (-H).…”

Objective: To compare frequency of sleep disorders (SD) and executive dysfunction (ED) in children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a control group. Method: We studied 156 children with ADHD with a mean age of 8.5 years, and a control group with 111 children with a mean age of 8.3 years. We utilized the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) to screen SD and the working memory measurement from the Wechsler intelligence scale for children (WISC-IV) to screen ED. Results: We did not observe an increased frequency of SD in children with ADHD compared with the controls. However, we did identify ED in children with ADHD; additionally a significant correlation was observed between the type of ADHD and SD and among ED, WISC-IV measurements, and type of SD in children with ADHD. Conclusion: An increase of SD frequency in children with ADHD was not observed, but we did identify ED in children with ADHD. Additionally, a correlation among ADHD types, SD, ED, and WISC-IV measurements was observed in children with ADHD.Keywords: attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, sleep disorders, executive dysfunction, pediatric sleep questionnaire, Wechsler intelligence scale for children. REsumEnObjetivo: Comparar la frecuencia de trastornos del sueño (TS) y disfunción ejecutiva (DE) en niños con trastorno por déficit de atención-hiperactividad (TDA-H) y un grupo control. Método: Estudiamos 156 niños con TDA-H con una media de 8,5 años. El grupo control incluyó 111 niños con una media de 8,3 años. Utilizamos la versión traducida del Cuestionario pediátrico del sueño (CPS) para tamizar TS. Para estudiar la DE, usamos la medición de la memoria de trabajo de la escala de inteligencia de Wechsler para niños-IV (WISC-IV). Resultados: No encontramos una mayor frecuencia de TS en niños con TDA-H. Sin embargo, encontramos DE y correlaciones entre los diferentes tipos de TDA-H, y entre los TS, DE y de mediciones del WISC-IV. Conclusión: No hallamos un incremento en la frecuencia de TS en niños con TDA-H. Encontramos evidencia de DE y correlaciones entre el tipo de TDA-H, TS, DE y medidas del WISC-IV.Palabras clave: trastorno por déficit de atención-hiperactividad, trastornos del sueño, disfunción ejecutiva, cuestionario pediátrico del sueño, escala de inteligencia infantil de Wechsler.Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an alteration that begins early in infancy and whose main symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity 1,2 . Children with ADHD present adaptation difficulties in several areas of their life, such as at school, at home, or in different social environments, due mainly to impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention that may affect their quality of life (QoL) 3 . Moreover, children with ADHD frequently present different co-morbidities such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), learning disabilities (LD), conduct disorder (CD), or others.
