Quantitative susceptibility mapping shows lower brain iron content in children with attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder

Abstract: To investigate the feasibility of quantitative susceptibility mapping in children with attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), 53 children with ADHD aged 5–16 years were prospectively selected as the study group and 49 healthy children matched with age and gender were selected as the control group. All children underwent magnetic resonance imaging conventional sequence, 3D‐T1, and enhanced T2*‐weighted magnetic resonance angiography (ESWAN) sequence scanning. The iron content of brain regions was obta… Show more

“…Recent studies suggest that dysregulation of ferroptosis may be closely related to the pathogenesis of neurological disorders including neurodegenerative diseases, strokes and glioma [ 58–60 ]. Interestingly, iron deficiency in various brain regions, including the globus pallidus, caudate nucleus and hippocampus, was characteristic of children with ADHD according to a quantitative susceptibility mapping study conducted by Tang et al [ 61 ]. This, partnered with our study's findings, suggests that iron deficiency in the brain and subsequent dysregulation of the ferroptosis pathway may be associated with ADHD in children.…”

“…We conducted a software-assisted qualitative content analysis on this corpus of documents using Atlas software. We initially took an inductive and interpretative approach: we generated codes with an initial qualitative content analysis of the available texts, built a codebook and subsequently proceeded with a quantitative content analysis counting the frequency of the codes identified in the documents analyzed (Zhang and Wildemuth 2005). 5 Following Zhang and Wildemuth (2005), we used statements corresponding to individual themes as the unit of analysis rather than physical linguistic units (the statements correspond to paragraphs or individual sentences).…”

In parallel, we also conducted a more in-depth qualitative analysis of the documents to complement the insights produced by the frame analysis, identifying crucial revealing statements in key documents.…”

“…ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by excessive amounts of inattention, carelessness, hyperactivity (which can evolve into inner restlessness in adulthood), and impulsivity that are pervasive, debilitating and otherwise age-inappropriate [137]. Some individuals with ADHD also display difficulty regulating emotions and have executive dysfunction.…”
