Impact of Comorbid Oppositional or Conduct Problems on Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

KUHNE, MICHAEL, SCHACHAR, RUSSELL, TANNOCK, ROSEMARY·1997·Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Abstract

Objective To investigate whether the presence of comorbid oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) or conduct disorder (CD) alters the correlates of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Method Three groups of children (33 "pure" ADHD, 46 ADHD + ODD, and 12 ADHD + CD) were compared on measures of ADHD, aggression, anxiety, parental psychopathology, self-esteem, school, and social-emotional functioning.Results Findings indicated that the presence of comorbid oppositional or conduct problems in children with ADHD altered the correlates of ADHD across a number of areas, including greater ADHD symptom severity and social dysfunction. Nevertheless, some correlates were more closely linked with the comorbid condition of ADHD + CD (e.g., higher aggression, anxiety, and maternal pathology, as well as decreased self-esteem), while others appeared more closely linked with ADHD + ODD (e.g., social withdrawal, elevated academic achievement paired with higher perceived scholastic competence).Conclusions Findings support the distinctive profiles of the disruptive behavior disorder groups and emphasize the deleterious effects on the quality of life experienced by the comorbid conditions. The need for syndrome-specific interventions is stressed.

  • The ADHD+ODD group is a clinically significant subgroup of the population by virtue of its elevated risk for negative outcomes.

    “Children with both ADHD and ODD had the greatest level of risk taking, further supporting that this group of children is a clinically significant subgroup of the population by virtue of its elevated risk for negative outcomes (Gadow and Nolan 2002; Kuhne et al. 1997).”

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.
