Parental ADHD knowledge and medical visit status of school-aged children in Shanghai.

Introduction: The diagnosis and care of children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders presents a public health crisis in China. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most frequent conditions. Many Chinese children and adolescents with ADHD are underdiagnosed and undertreated.

Exposure to greenness during pregnancy and the first three years after birth and autism spectrum disorder: A matched case-control study in shanghai, China.

Causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have not been fully understood. Previous studies have linked environmental factors with ASD. However, evidence for the greenness-ASD association is limited, especially in China.

Chronic Exercise for Core Symptoms and Executive Functions in ADHD: A Meta-analysis.

Background And Objectives: The effects of chronic exercise interventions (CEIs) on core symptoms and executive functions (EFs) of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and how different characteristics of CEIs could modify the effect remain unclear. We synthesized the current evidence on the effects of CEIs on core symptoms and EFs in children and adolescents with ADHD.

Methods: Data sources include PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from database inception to July 31, 2022.

Inattention and hyperactivity in children and adolescents with repaired D-transposition of the great arteries: Prevalence, perioperative risk factors, and clinical outcomes.

Objective: The present study objectives were to determine the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms (ADHD-like symptoms) in children and adolescent with d-transposition of great artery (D-TGA) after arterial switch operation (ASO) and examine associated risk factors and adverse personal, family dysfunctions.

Methods: This cohort study included 103 patients with D-TGA who underwent ASO in early infancy at Shanghai Children's Medical Center between 2011 and 2016 and then follow-up. Data analysis was conducted from September 2020 to April 2022.

Risk factors for ASD : Risk Factors for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Shanghai, China: A Population-based Case-control Study.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder that brings heavy burdens to families and the society. This case-control study explored risk factors for ASD based on 74,252 children aged 3-12 years who were recruited from general education kindergartens, primary schools, and special education schools in Shanghai, China. One hundred ninety-two children were identified with ASD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition.

Outdoor light at night and autism spectrum disorder in Shanghai, China: A matched case-control study.

Background: Several environmental factors have been identified to be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) over the past decades. However, evidence is limited for the effect of exposure to outdoor light at night (LAN) on ASD in China and even elsewhere in the world.

Methods: Participants in this study were from a multi-stage sampling survey on ASD conducted between June 2014 and October 2014 among children aged 3-12 years in Shanghai, China.

Abnormal body mass index may be related to poor social function of female children by a propensity score matching analysis.

This study sought to estimate the association of children's body mass index (BMI) with their social function in Shanghai China. A large population-based cross-sectional study based on a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted. BMI was compared according to social communication questionnaire (SCQ) classification, and then SCQ score was compared in terms of BMI grouping before and after PSM.

Association of number of siblings, birth order, and thinness in 3- to 12-year-old children: a population-based cross-sectional study in Shanghai, China.

Background: Sibship size and structure have a significant association with overweight and obesity in children, but the relationship with thinness has not been fully studied and understood, especially in Asia. This study evaluated the associations among number of siblings, birth order, and childhood thinness and investigated the association of number of younger or older siblings with childhood thinness.

Methods: In this study, we performed a population-based cross-sectional study among 84,075 3- to 12-year-old children in Shanghai using multistage stratified cluster random sampling.

Association of low birth weight with thinness and severe obesity in children aged 3-12 years: a large-scale population-based cross-sectional study in Shanghai, China.

Objectives: Low birth weight (BW) is a general symbol of inadequate intrauterine conditions that elicit abnormal fetal growth and development. The aim of current study is to investigate the relationship between low BW and thinness or severe obesity during maturation.

Design: A large-scale cross-sectional population-based survey.

Early life exposure to particulate matter air pollution (PM, PM and PM) and autism in Shanghai, China: A case-control study.

Background: The evidence for adverse effects of ambient particulate matter (PM) pollution on mental health is limited. Studies in Western countries suggested higher risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) associated with PM air pollution, but no such study has been done in developing countries.

Methods: A case-control study was performed in Shanghai with a multi-stage random sampling design.

Prevalence of DSM-5 Autism Spectrum Disorder Among School-Based Children Aged 3-12 Years in Shanghai, China.

We estimated the prevalence of ASD in a population-based sample comprising children aged 3-12 years (N = 74,252) in Shanghai. This included a high-risk group sampled from special education schools and a low-risk group randomly sampled from general schools. First, we asked parents and then teachers to complete the Social Communication Questionnaire for participating children.

Prevalence of grade 1, 2 and 3 thinness is associated with lower socio-economic status in children in Shanghai, China.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of grade 1, 2 and 3 thinness among Chinese children and to explore their associations with socio-economic status (SES).

Design: A population, school-based cross-sectional study using multistage, stratified cluster random sampling. Grade 1, 2 and 3 thinness, overweight, obesity and severe obesity were defined by the International Obesity Task Force BMI cut-offs.

A novel 47.2 Mb duplication on chromosomal bands Xq21.1-25 associated with mental retardation.

We present array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) characterization of a novel Xq21.1-25 duplication in a 2-year-old girl with facial dysmorphism, mental retardation and short stature. Analysis of aCGH results revealed a 47,232kb duplication region that harbored 231 RefSeq genes, including 32 OMIM genes.
