Since there is little information about the naturalistic way of treatment in daily European practice, the Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Observational Research in Europe (ADORE) project was designed as a prospective, non-interventional study of approximately 1,500 patients observed by approximately 300 investigators in various European regions.
The primary objective is the description of the relationship between treatment regimen prescribed and quality of life in ADHD patients over a two-year period.
The naturalistic care provided and the outcomes (psychopathology, quality of life) are recorded at 7 data collection points.
The present preliminary report provides data on the first 315 patients who were included in the study by the beginning of January 2004. The data provide an impression of the sample characteristics, the clinical diversity, and the effects of ADHD on school careers and social activities. Furthermore, treatment information dealing with the time both before and at baseline is given.
Even with this limited sample the negative effects on psychosocial development and quality of life in ADHD children are apparent.
由于在欧洲日常实践中关于自然主义治疗方式的信息较少,欧洲注意力缺陷多动障碍观察性研究(ADORE)项目被设计为一项前瞻性、非干预性研究,约300名研究者在欧洲不同地区对约1500名患者进行观察。
主要目的是描述在两年时间里,多动症患者所采用的治疗方案与生活质量之间的关系。
在7个数据收集点记录所提供的自然主义护理及结果(精神病理学、生活质量)。
本初步报告提供了截至2004年1月初纳入研究的首批315名患者的数据。这些数据展现了样本特征、临床多样性以及多动症对学业和社交活动的影响。此外,还给出了基线之前及基线时的治疗信息。
即便样本有限,多动症儿童对心理社会发展和生活质量的负面影响依然明显。
