Abstract
AbstractThe relationship between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant and conduct disorders (ODD/CD) requires further studies.The aim was to examine the relationship among ADHD severity [assessed by ADHD Rating Scale-Parent Version (PV)], ADHD subtypes, and the comorbidity with ODD/CD in 217 Italian ADHD children.A total of 35.02% of the participants displayed ADHD with ODD, 14.29% ADHD with CD, and 50.69% no ODD/CD comorbid diagnosis. The Hyperactivity Score of the ADHD Rating Scale-PV was a significant predictor of ODD; age and the Hyperactivity Score were significant predictors of CD. The combined subtype was significantly higher in CD children.Data, which confirm the only recent article on the topic, help to clarify the relationship between ADHD and externalizing disorders.
