Abstract
Objective: To examine change in weight status following initiation of lisdexamfetamine in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and overweight or obesity.
Study design: A retrospective chart review included children aged 2 to <18 years treated with lisdexamfetamine for ADHD. Body mass index (BMI) data for up to 2 years after initiation of lisdexamfetamine were analysed using linear mixed effects models with autoregressive-1 correlation structure on time of follow-up per patient.
Results: The analysis included 330 children ≤18 years, median age 10 years (interquartile range 8.1-13) comprising 55 children with severe obesity, 88 with mild-moderate obesity, 131 with overweight and 56 with healthy weight, 68% male and 32% female. At 2 years after initiation of lisdexamfetamine in the severe obesity group, the BMI Z-score decreased by -0.41 (95% confidence intervals [CI] [-0.57, -0.25], p < 0.001) and BMI percent of the 95th percentile decreased by -11.2% (95% CI [-15.8 to -6.7], p < 0.001). In the mild-moderate obesity group, BMI Z-score decreased by -0.44 (95% CI [-0.56, -0.31], p < 0.001) and BMI% of the 95th percentile decreased by -11.1% at 24 months (95% CI [-13.9 to -8.4], p < 0.001). In the mild-moderate obesity and overweight groups, younger children (ages 4-10) showed greater reduction in their BMI (p < 0.001 and p = 0.029, respectively).
Conclusion: Reduction in BMI for age was noted for up to 2 years following initiation of lisdexamfetamine in children with ADHD and overweight and obesity. Further studies are warranted to study the weight loss effect of lisdexamfetamine in children with obesity.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Obesity is a peer-reviewed, monthly journal devoted to research into obesity during childhood and adolescence. The topic is currently at the centre of intense interest in the scientific community, and is of increasing concern to health policy-makers and the public at large.
Pediatric Obesity has established itself as the leading journal for high quality papers in this field, including, but not limited to, the following:
Genetic, molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of obesity – basic, applied and clinical studies relating to mechanisms of the development of obesity throughout the life course and the consequent effects of obesity on health outcomes
Metabolic consequences of child and adolescent obesity
Epidemiological and population-based studies of child and adolescent overweight and obesity
Measurement and diagnostic issues in assessing child and adolescent adiposity, physical activity and nutrition
Clinical management of children and adolescents with obesity including studies of treatment and prevention
Co-morbidities linked to child and adolescent obesity – mechanisms, assessment, and treatment
Life-cycle factors eg familial, intrauterine and developmental aspects of child and adolescent obesity
Nutrition security and the "double burden" of obesity and malnutrition
Health promotion strategies around the issues of obesity, nutrition and physical activity in children and adolescents
Community and public health measures to prevent overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
