Determinación de la prevalencia del trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad en la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco a través del consumo del principio activo metilfenidato

Abstract

Attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADDH) is a common behavioral disorder in childhood. The main drug for treatment is methylphenidate. We identified the prevalence of ADDH by determining the use of this drug in our environment.

There are few data on the prevalence of ADDH in the literature, but our data are in line with the ranges cited in various articles.
