Attention Deficit Disorder: A Review of the Past 10 Years
Abstract
Objective To summarize knowledge about attention deficit disorder in the areas of epidemiology, etiology, clinical predictors, assessments, natural history and outcome, and management. Method A literature review of articles, books, and chapters primarily published in the past 10 years was completed. Articles presenting new information, most relevant to clinical practice, were reviewed. Results Key findings in the areas listed above are presented. Conclusions Major advances have been made in all areas. The clinical picture has been refined and developmental manifestations have been delineated. Patterns of comorbidity have been detailed. Various etiological factors, particularly in the biological area, have been investigated. Multimodal management has been promulgated as the treatment of choice.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
