ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the behavioral characteristics of preschool children aged 5-6 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD) comorbid with enuresis. Methods Conner’s Parent Symptom Questionnaire and Digital Cancellation Test were used to investigate 42 children with ADHD (ADHD group),36 children with ADHD comorbid with enuresis ( ADHD+NE group) and 48 normal con-trols. Results In the Conner’s Parent Symptom Questionnaire,the score of the conduct factors ((0. 79± 0. 13),(0. 83± 0. 50)), learning factors (( 1. 55 ± 0. 49),(1. 92± 0. 62)),mind-body factors (( 0. 61 ± 0. 35),(0. 67± 0. 22)),hyperactivity impulse factors ((1. 96 ± 0. 48),(2. 21± 0. 69)), anxiety factors ((0. 76±0. 53),(1. 02±0. 58)) and hyperactivity indices ((1. 57±0. 14),(2. 19±0. 33)) in ADHD group and ADHD+NE group were higher than those of the control group((0. 59±0. 39),(0. 64±0. 28),(0. 35± 0. 74),(0. 82±0. 63),(0. 51±0. 40),(0. 86±0. 59),(all P<0. 05)). The scores of learning factors,hy-peractivity impulse factors,anxiety factors and hyperactivity indices in ADHD+NE group were higher than those in ADHD group(P<0. 05). In the digital cancellation test,the gross scores((52. 37±1. 48),(57. 42± 1. 05))and net scores ((39. 15±8. 84),(38. 99±5. 72)) of ADHD group and ADHD+NE group were lower than those in the control group (( 89. 40 ± 7. 82), ( 80. 16 ± 12. 54)) (均 P<0. 05). The error scores ((38. 16±9. 60),(40. 59±9. 28)) and error rate(0. 40±0. 27,0. 59±0. 44) of ADHD group and ADHD+NE group were higher than those of the control group ((14. 01±5. 32),(0. 15±0. 08))(all P<0. 05). The error rate of ADHD + NE group were higher than those of preschool ADHD group (P< 0. 05 ). Conclusion The behavioral problems of preschool children aged 5-6 years with ADHD comorbid with enu-resis are more serious and anxiety is more obvious,which should be paid attention to.
