Abstract

Objective To investigate the prevalence of allergic diseases in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) aged 4 to 12 years,in order to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of ADHD. Methods A case-control study was adopted. From October 2019 to April 2020,800 children with ADHD in the Department of Child Healthcare of Shanghai Children's Hospital were enrolled in the ADHD group,meanwhile 800 healthy children were selected as the control group. Demographic data and clinical disease data of the two groups were collected by questionnaire. Univariate analysis was used to compare the prevalence of allergic diseases between ADHD group and control group. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk of ADHD in children with co-morbidities of allergic diseases and the effect of anti-allergic treatment on the symptoms of ADHD. Results There was significant difference in the prevalence of allergic diseases between ADHD group and control group(χ²=23.220,P<0.001). The risk of ADHD in single allergic disease group was 1.681(95%CI: 1.163 - 2.375),which was 2.494(95% CI:1.912 - 3.254) in the mixed allergic disease group. When children with ADHD developed allergic symptoms,58.2% of them had worse ADHD symptoms than before. The proportion of ADHD in children with mixed allergic diseases was higher than that in children with single allergic diseases(60.6% vs. 53.7%,χ²=434.161,P<0.001). Conclusion Allergic diseases may increase the risk of ADHD in children,and the more co-morbidities of allergic diseases,the higher the risk of ADHD.
