Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and substance-use disorders often co-occur.
Aim of this study was to look at the family loading of ADHD (in adults and children) in patients with alcohol-dependence syndrome (ADS) along with the estimation of morbidity risk (MR) for developing ADHD.
Thirty-five male patients with ADS along with their 369 first-degree relatives (FDRs) - both children and adults - were recruited.
ADHD and residual ADD (ADDRT) were significantly more common in the early-onset (EO) ADS group and their FDR. In ADHD children, high MR (27.27%) for developing EO of ADS was noted.
Findings from this study raise an avenue for research in the Indian population about the shared risk between ADS and ADHD.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）与物质使用障碍常同时出现。
本研究旨在观察酒精依赖综合征（ADS）患者中ADHD（成人和儿童）的家族负荷情况，并评估患ADHD的发病风险（MR）。
招募了35名患有ADS的男性患者及其369名一级亲属（FDRs），包括儿童和成人。
ADHD和残留型注意力缺陷障碍（ADDRT）在早发型（EO）ADS组及其FDR中明显更为常见。在患有ADHD的儿童中，发现患早发型ADS的高发病风险（27.27%）。
本研究结果为印度人群中ADS和ADHD之间共同风险的研究开辟了一条途径。
