Abstract

Introduction. Objective: To study the validity of each of the items DSM-IV for the diagnosis of the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and to look for a reduced model of items that allows predicting ADHD. Subjects and methods: We use the information of an epidemiological study on ADHD with a sample of 1095 children. 6.6 % are ADHD cases. ADHD cases are defined according to ADHD RS-IV and clinical criteria DSM-IV. Controls are defined by exclusion. Results: The model of logistic regression that better predicts the inattentive phenotype is composed by the items of the ADHD RS-IV (parents� version) 1, 3, 9, 15 and 17 (Sensitivity: 96.7%, Specificity: 81.5%); the hyperactive / impulsive phenotype by the items 2, 4, 10, 12, 14 and 16 (Sensitivity: 96.6%, Specificity: 81%) and the combined phenotype by the items 9, 10, 12, 14 and 15 (Sensitivity: 100%, Specificity: 82.6%). A reduction of 66 % of the items in the combined phenotype is detected. Conclusions: It is possible to reduce the list of ADHD symptoms with suitable levels of validity and all the items should not have the same weight at the moment of making diagnostic decisions.
