Turgut K, et al. - Researchers compared the study group consisting of 3- to 17-year-old pediatric patients admitted to the Emergency Department after foreign body ingestion, and the control group formed with children having similar demographic and cultural characteristics that presented to the same department for non-traumatic causes, to assess the incidence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. After initial intervention and stabilization, both groups were administered the Conners' Parent Rating Scales-Revised (CPRS-R). Compared to the control group, the study group had significantly higher all the CPRS-R subscale scores. They noted no significant correlation of the parental education levels of the study group with DSM-IV hyperactivity-impulsivity and DSM-IV total. Findings suggest a possibly higher incidence of ADHD symptoms in children referred to emergency services after accidentally ingesting foreign bodies.
