Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in adolescent and adult candidates for metabolic and bariatric surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aims: Attention-deficit with hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with obesity and impacts the outcome of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). This study aimed at calculating the prevalence in candidates for MBS, which is yet unclear.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, searching three databases from their respective inception to December 2022 for studies reporting the prevalence of ADHD in adolescents and adults assessed before undergoing MBS.

Bibliometric analysis of publications on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in France since 1974.

Background: The predominance of the psychodynamic approach is often put forward to explain the delay in diagnosis and treatment of attention-deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD) reported in France.

Objective: A bibliometric study of abstracts, articles, or letters authored by French researchers may provide objective insight into this issue.

Methods: Online electronic databases were searched without any date limits for documents related to ADHD, and allocated to the AllFR group when all authors had an affiliation in France or to the notAllFR group when at least one author had an affiliation in France.

Prevalence rate of ADHD in France: Review of the literature and results from ChiP-ARD study.

Objectives: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a frequent neurodevelopmental disorder whose first clinical description was published more than two centuries ago. Prevalence rates have been evaluated in many countries and meta-analyses conducted, but the data collected in France are scarce.

Methods: A review of the literature was conducted by retrieving the references from four electronic databases leading to the selection of four studies in children and four in adults.

The EPIDIA4Kids protocol for a digital epidemiology study on brain functioning in children, based on a multimodality biometry tool running on an unmodified tablet.

Introduction: Neurodevelopment and related mental disorders (NDDs) are one of the most frequent disabilities among young people. They have complex clinical phenotypes often associated with transnosographic dimensions, such as emotion dysregulation and executive dysfunction, that lead to adverse impacts in personal, social, academic, and occupational functioning. Strong overlap exists then across NDDs phenotypes that are challenging for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.

Validation and bifactor structure of the French Adult ADHD Symptoms Rating Scale v1.1 (ASRS).

Background: Three scoring methods for the widely available Adult ADHD Symptoms Rating Scale v1.1 (ASRS) have been proposed to screen for ADHD, but these three methods have rarely been compared against formal clinical diagnoses. We aimed to validate the French version of the ASRS against a clinical interview using DSM-IV and DSM-5 diagnostic algorithms.

Multimodal intervention in 8- to 13-year-old French dyslexic readers: Study protocol for a randomized multicenter controlled crossover trial.

Background: Developmental dyslexia, a specific and long-lasting learning disorder that prevents children from becoming efficient and fluent readers, has a severe impact on academic learning and behavior and may compromise professional and social development. Most remediation studies are based on the explicit or implicit assumption that dyslexia results from a single cause related to either impaired phonological or visual-attentional processing or impaired cross-modal integration. Yet, recent studies show that dyslexia is multifactorial and that many dyslexics have underlying deficits in several domains.

Retrospective diagnosis of childhood ADHD using the Wender Utah Rating Scale.

Objective: An external validation of the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) against a clinical assessment is lacking, especially for French-speaking populations.

Method: Participants completed three subsets of the WURS-61 and were assessed for ADHD using the DIVA 2.0 semi-structured interview.

[Barriers to access to care evaluation scale (bace-3) psychometric properties of the french version in a naturalistic ambulatory psychiatric community setting].

Objectives: To translate into French and validate the BACE-3 scale (Barriers to Care Evaluation) and describe the barriers to access to care in mental health settings.

Methods: The instrument was translated into French with its author's authorisation and her supervision. Three outpatient consultation centres and two day hospitals in the same geographical region were involved.

Effect of Child Position on Pain Experience During Lumbar Puncture: A Prospective Pilot Study.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of patient's position on pain and anxiety during lumbar puncture (LP).

Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled trial included children between 2 and 18 years old receiving at least 2 therapeutic LPs. They were randomly assigned to undergo lateral decubitus position or sitting position LP.

[How do children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) experience lockdown during the COVID-19 outbreak?].

Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the French government has decided a general lockdown. This unprecedented situation has raised concerns about children's and adolescent's mental health. Children and adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may find this context of restrained activity particularly tricky.

Updated European Consensus Statement on diagnosis and treatment of adult ADHD.

Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most common psychiatric disorders of childhood that often persists into adulthood and old age. Yet ADHD is currently underdiagnosed and undertreated in many European countries, leading to chronicity of symptoms and impairment, due to lack of, or ineffective treatment, and higher costs of illness. Methods The European Network Adult ADHD and the Section for Neurodevelopmental Disorders Across the Lifespan (NDAL) of the European Psychiatric Association (EPA), aim to increase awareness and knowledge of adult ADHD in and outside Europe.

Otologic Outcomes With Two Different Surgical Protocols in Patients With a Cleft Palate: A Retrospective Study.

Objective: To compare otologic outcomes in patients with cleft palate who underwent 2 different surgical protocols.

Design: Monocentric retrospective analysis of medical reports.

Patients, Participants: All consecutively treated patients affected by a cleft palate, born between January 1998 and December 2002 (group 1) and between January 2007 and December 2010 (group 2).

Health assessment of French university students and risk factors associated with mental health disorders.

Objective: The first year of university is a particularly stressful period and can impact academic performance and students' health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the health and lifestyle of undergraduates and assess risk factors associated with psychiatric symptoms.

Materials And Methods: Between September 2012 and June 2013, we included all undergraduate students who underwent compulsory a medical visit at the university medical service in Nice (France) during which they were screened for potential diseases during a diagnostic interview.

Prognostic Role of Rib Hump in Overlying Thoracic Curve Correction Above Selective Fusion for Lenke 5 Idiopathic Adolescent Scoliosis.

Study Design: Prospective study.

Objective: To assess whether rib hump is a prognostic factor of final thoracic Cobb angle.

Summary Of Background Data: Correction of thoracolumbar/lumbar curve, preoperative thoracic curves angle, thoracic curves angle on bending, the thoracolumbar-lumbar angle/thoracic curves angle ratio, thoracic kyphosis, and growth stage influences spontaneous correction of uninstrumented thoracic curves angle above selective fusion for Lenke 5 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Development of Reliable and Validated Tools to Evaluate Technical Resuscitation Skills in a Pediatric Simulation Setting: Resuscitation and Emergency Simulation Checklist for Assessment in Pediatrics.

Objectives: To develop a reliable and validated tool to evaluate technical resuscitation skills in a pediatric simulation setting.

Study Design: Four Resuscitation and Emergency Simulation Checklist for Assessment in Pediatrics (RESCAPE) evaluation tools were created, following international guidelines: intraosseous needle insertion, bag mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation, and cardiac massage. We applied a modified Delphi methodology evaluation to binary rating items.

Evaluation of the Bladder Stimulation Technique to Collect Midstream Urine in Infants in a Pediatric Emergency Department.

Objective: Midstream clean-catch urine is an accepted method to diagnose urinary tract infection but is impracticable in infants before potty training. We tested the bladder stimulation technique to obtain a clean-catch urine sample in infants.

Materials And Methods: We included 142 infants under walking age who required a urine sample in a cross-sectional study carried out during a 3-months period, from September to November 2014, in the emergency department of the University Children's Hospital of Nice (France).

Exploring sources of construct-relevant multidimensionality in psychiatric measurement: A tutorial and illustration using the Composite Scale of Morningness.

This paper illustrates a psychometric approach of broad relevance to psychiatric research instruments. Many instruments include indicators related to more than one source of true-score variance due to the: (1) assessment of conceptually adjacent constructs; (2) the presence of a global construct underlying answers to items designed to assess multiple dimensions. Exploratory structural equation modelling (ESEM) is naturally suited to the investigation of the first source, whereas bifactor models are particularly suited to the investigation of the second source.

Effect of treatment modality on long-term outcomes in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a systematic review.

Background: Evaluation of treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) previously focused on symptom control, but attention has shifted to functional outcomes. The effect of different ADHD treatment periods and modalities (pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and combination) on long-term outcomes needs to be more comprehensively understood.

Methods: A systematic search of 12 literature databases using Cochrane's guidelines yielded 403 English-language peer-reviewed, primary studies reporting long-term outcomes (≥2 years).

Investigation of a bifactor model of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is used to measure psychopathological symptoms in children and adolescents from 4 to 17 years old, but its underlying structure is still a matter of debate. Indeed, on the basis of a systematic review of English and non-English articles conducted using multiple databases, 54 studies reporting on the factor structure of the SDQ were located. The original 5 first-order factor structure is generally supported by exploratory procedures, but support based on confirmatory factor analyses is not clear.

[Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in childhood/adolescence and impairments associated with daily life: French data from the European Lifetime Impairment Survey].

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has a 3-5 % prevalence in Europe and North America. It is associated with functional impairment and can have a negative impact on social and family relationships and daily living. The experiences of children/adolescents with ADHD in Europe, as reported by parents/caregivers who completed the online Lifetime Impairment Survey (LIS), were evaluated.

[A survey on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder].

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder described in international classifications and thought to affect about 5% of school-aged children and 3% of adults in the general population. In France, most clinicians are not formally trained in assessing and treating ADHD, leading to underdiagnosis of the disorder. ADHD impacts all the aspects of these children's daily life (school performance, family and social life) and later their adult life.

Prevalence and correlates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults from a French community sample.

Validated tools are lacking in languages such as French to diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults. The Adult ADHD Symptoms Self-Report (ASRS) was filled out by 1171 parents of 900 school-aged youths in the context of the Children and Parents With ADHD and Related Disorders study. Prevalence estimates based on three scoring methods are compared (6-item screener, all 18 items, or the screener followed by the 12 remaining items).

Daily life impairments associated with childhood/adolescent attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder as recalled by adults: results from the European Lifetime Impairment Survey.

Introduction: The Lifetime Impairment Survey, conducted in Europe, assessed impairment and symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in childhood, and experiences of ADHD diagnosis and treatment, as recalled by adults.

Methods: Adults with ADHD and without ADHD (control group) were invited to participate in an internet-based survey and report on their childhood experiences. History of ADHD diagnosis was self-reported.
