In the present study, WISC-III Verbal IQ and sleep disorders in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and controls who were matched for age and sex were assessed. 18 children with ADHD, 14 boys and 4 girls, and 18 controls, 14 boys and 4 girls, participated. Polysomnographs were performed for all ADHD children during their night sleep. The Greek version of WISC-III was used to evaluate Verbal IQ. Analysis of the polysomnographs showed that the quality of night sleep of the children with ADHD was very poor, including apneas, low desaturation rates, and awakenings in combination with limb activity and snoring. This agreed with their low Verbal IQ, which was up to 20 points lower than the controls' Verbal IQ. Sleep disorders in ADHD children could contribute to lower Verbal IQ.
在本研究中，对患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童以及年龄和性别匹配的对照组儿童的韦氏儿童智力量表第三版（WISC - III）言语智商和睡眠障碍进行了评估。18名患有ADHD的儿童（14名男孩和4名女孩）以及18名对照组儿童（14名男孩和4名女孩）参与了研究。对所有患有ADHD的儿童进行了夜间睡眠多导睡眠图监测。使用WISC - III的希腊版本来评估言语智商。多导睡眠图分析表明，患有ADHD的儿童夜间睡眠质量非常差，包括呼吸暂停、低血氧饱和度率以及伴有肢体活动和打鼾的觉醒。这与他们较低的言语智商相符，其言语智商比对照组的言语智商低多达20分。ADHD儿童的睡眠障碍可能导致较低的言语智商。
