Implication

Retrospective analysis finds SDB prevalence at 2.87% in pediatric ADHD patients, suggesting lower rates than literature estimates of 25-57%.

Key Points

  • SDB prevalence in children with ADHD was found to be significantly lower than prior literature estimates.
  • Among 68,259 patients diagnosed with ADHD, only 1,959 also had a diagnosis of SDB, equating to a prevalence rate of 2.87%.
  • Using a national electronic medical record database, the study focused on patients under 20 years old with ADHD and SDB diagnoses.
  • Results indicate a need for improved screening for SDB in children diagnosed with ADHD, as current rates are much lower than expected.
