The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children with vocal fold nodules (VNs).
Study group (SG) included children between 4 and 12 years. As a control group (CG), children between 4 and 12 years without VNs were included in the study. Parents of the participants completed the Conners' Parent Rating Scale-Revised: Short Form (CPRS-RS) which was used to analyze the symptoms of ADHD.
Forty-five children (30 boys and 15 girls) with VNs and 45 controls (30 boys and 15 girls) were enrolled in the study. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed that the CPRS-RS Hyperactivity and Oppositional Subscales were significantly higher in the SG than the CG (p < .05), after controlling the effects of age and gender.
Our findings suggest associations between VNs and hyperactivity and oppositional behaviors in children. Clinicians should be aware of ADHD symptoms in children with VNs.
本病例对照研究旨在调查声带小结(VN)患儿的注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)症状。
研究组(SG)包括4至12岁的儿童。作为对照组(CG),研究纳入了4至12岁无声带小结的儿童。参与者的父母完成了用于分析ADHD症状的康纳斯父母评定量表修订版:简表(CPRS-RS)。
45例患有声带小结的儿童(30名男孩和15名女孩)和45名对照儿童(30名男孩和15名女孩)参与了本研究。多变量方差分析显示,在控制年龄和性别的影响后,研究组的CPRS-RS多动和对立分量表得分显著高于对照组(p < 0.05)。
我们的研究结果表明声带小结与儿童多动及对立行为之间存在关联。临床医生应留意患有声带小结儿童的ADHD症状。
