Abstract
Objective: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been described as the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood. This condition is associated with significant deterioration in the quality of life, multiple comorbidities and, in the long term, lower academic and work achievements. Despite the fact that it has been shown that patients of Latin descent present a possible underdiagnosis, that in Colombia higher prevalence has been estimated than those described worldwide, and that the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have been able to exacerbate this problem, the volume of studies with reproducible estimates on the characteristics, treatments received, and symptom control of these patients still needs to be expanded. This study seeks to establish the sociodemographic, clinical and treatment factors associated with the control of the core symptoms of this disorder, which consist of persistent and generalized patterns of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity.
Methodology: Descriptive study with analytical intent in a retrospective cohort of pediatric patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder followed up for 6 months in a specialized center in Medellín, Colombia, between 2018 and 2019.
Results: An incidence of symptom control of 46.7% was identified, which was significantly associated with adherence to treatment and with a family history of ADHD.
Conclusions: It can be affirmed that, in pediatric patients with ADHD, these factors could increase the probability of achieving control of nuclear symptoms.
