“…The same result was also found in the UK survey, carried out by Salmon & Kemp (2002). Multidisciplinary teams are known to have an important role in treating multi-systemic issues related to ADHD (academic, social, family impact), aiming to improve long-term outcome, as urged by some ADHD reviews (Turgay, 2007;Storebø et al, 2015) and Clinical Guidelines (CADDRA, 2011).…”

ObjectivesThis mixed-method national survey has obtained original data on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) attitudes, assessment and treatment regimes reported by paediatricians and child psychiatrists; and has compared their clinics. It has examined the extent of involvement of Irish paediatricians in the management of ADHD.MethodsA questionnaire was designed, based on a review of literature and ADHD guidelines, and piloted by expert clinicians. Universal recruitment was conducted among Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) consultants (n=71) and community/general paediatric consultants (n=72). Quantitative and qualitative data was collected and analysed.ResultsThere was an overall response rate of 43%. A dedicated ADHD clinic is offered in 79% of CAMHS services, but only in one paediatric service. Participants reported that the assessment of ADHD involves multidisciplinary work and this was only established in CAMHS clinics. Medication is initiated by 82% of child psychiatrists and only 22% of paediatricians.ConclusionsThis first national study of ADHD attitudes and practices presents comprehensive data regarding the management of children with ADHD in CAMHS and paediatric settings in Ireland. Paediatricians reported a minor role in managing ADHD. Study limitations are related to subjective reporting rather than case note audit, and a moderate response rate for the paediatricians’ participants.

“…However, the wmd of methylphenidate also did not meet the threshold for clinical importance. Further, a Cochrane review of methylphenidate for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder suggested that this agent is associated with an increased risk of non-serious adverse events-sleep problems and decreased appetite being most common 148 . Those issues suggest that methylphenidate should not routinely be used to manage fatigue in patients with cancer and in recipients of hsct, but could selectively be used in specific patients for whom the potential benefits outweigh the disadvantages.…”

“…48 Evidence on links between medication and outcomes is an essential part of dispensing decisions. Like all medications, ADHD medications have unwanted effects 16,49 including concerns regarding nonserious adverse events, such as decreased appetite and sleep problems, and the possibility of serious adverse events, 15,50,51 which need to be considered.…”

Association between medication use and performance on higher education entrance tests in individuals with Abstract IMPORTANCEIndividuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at greater risk for academic problems. Pharmacologic treatment is effective in reducing core symptoms of ADHD, but it is unclear whether it helps to improve academic outcomes. OBJECTIVETo investigate the association of the use of ADHD medication and the performance of higher education entrance test in individuals with ADHD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSThis cohort study followed 61,640 individuals with a diagnosis of ADHD from January 01, 2006 to December 31, 2013. Using Swedish national registers, we extracted records of their pharmacological treatment along with data from the Sweden Scholastic Aptitude Test. Using a within-patient design, we compared test scores when patients were taking medication for ADHD with scores when they were not. EXPOSURESPeriods with and without ADHD medications. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESScores from the higher education entrance examination. RESULTS Within
