Association of Liver Transplant and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: This prospective cohort study aimed to determine the prevalence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and to reveal how the diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder can be made most accurately in children with liver transplant.

Can we identify "at-risk" children and adolescents for poor transplant outcomes in the psychosocial evaluation before solid organ transplantation? The reliability and validity study of Pediatric Transplant Rating Instrument (P-TRI) in Turkish pediatric renal transplant patients.

Background: This study aims to translate the Pediatric Transplant Rating Instrument (P-TRI) to conduct a validity and reliability study on Turkish children and define a cutoff value of this scale.

Method: A total of 151 pediatric kidney transplant patients were included in the study. The files of the patients were reviewed by two clinicians, and the scale was filled for inter-rater reliability.

How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic admissions? A single-center, retrospective study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures for controlling the pandemic adversely affected child and adolescent mental health; however, studies that examined the effects of the pandemic on child and adolescent mental health services are limited.

Materials And Methods: Our study included 55 children and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 18 years.

Screen media exposure in pre-school children in Turkey: the relation with temperament and the role of parental attitudes.
