“…Previous literature reported that ADHD can persist into adulthood [ 39 , 40 ]. During adulthood, it impairs occupational function and work productivity [ 41 – 44 ], academic achievements [ 44 ], family and interpersonal relationships [ 45 ] and increases the risk of substance abuse [ 46 ]. Moreover, ADHD also increases economic burden on families and society [ 47 , 48 ].…”

Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common childhood neurobehavioral disorders, which has a serious negative effect on educational achievement, peer relationships, social functioning, behavior, and self-esteem of children. However, the pooled prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is not well known in Ethiopia. Therefore, the main objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to estimate the pooled prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among children and adolescents in Ethiopia. Methods PubMed, HINARI, Science Direct, Psych INFO, Google Scholar, African Journals Online, and cross-referenced were searched to identify relevant articles. Quality appraisal was done using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Heterogeneity was tested using the I-square statistics. Publication bias was tested using a funnel plot visual inspection. Further, trim and fill analysis was done to correct publication bias.Forest plots and tables were used to present results. The random effect model was used to compute the pooled prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among children and adolescents. Results The overall pooled prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among children and adolescents in Ethiopia was 14.2% (95% CI: 8.48, 22.83). Being male (OR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.54; 3.12), being aged 6–11 years (OR: 3.67, 95% CI: 1.98; 6.83), low family socioeconomic status (OR: 3.45 95% CI: 2.17; 5.47), maternal complication during pregnancy (OR: 3.29, 95% CI: 1.97; 5.51) and family history of mental illness (OR: 3.83, 95% CI:2.17; 6.77) were factors associated with a higher odds of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among children and adolescents. Conclusions The overall pooled prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among children and adolescents is high in Ethiopia as compared to previous literature. To reduce the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among children and adolescents, emphasis has to be given to prevention, early detection, and management of pregnancy-related complications. Moreover, parents with mental illness should be supported and properly treated to reduce the impact of hostile parenting on their child’s health.

Developmental disabilities prevalence seem to be high in countries around the world. It’s worth understanding the most recent prevalence and trends of developmental disabilities. The objective of this study is to examine the prevalence and trends of developmental disabilities of US children and adolescents. A total of 26,422 individuals aged 3–17 years were included. Annual data were examined from the National Health Interview Survey (2018–2021). Weighted prevalence for each of the selected developmental disabilities were calculated. The prevalence of any developmental disabilities in individuals was 16.65% (95% CI 16.03–17.26%), prevalence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disability (LD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability (ID), and other developmental delay were 9.57% (95% CI 9.09–10.06%), 7.45% (95% CI 7.00–7.89%), 2.94% (95% CI 2.67–3.21%), 1.72% (95% CI 1.51–1.93%), and 5.24% (95% CI 4.89–5.59%), respectively. Significant increases were observed for other developmental delay (4.02–6.05%) and co-occurring LD & ID (1.03–1.82%). Findings form this study highlight a high prevalence of any developmental disabilities, although no significant increase was observed. The prevalence of other developmental delay and co-occurring LD & ID were significantly increased. Further investigation is warranted to assess potentially modifiable risk factors and causes of developmental disabilities.

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is classified using neoclassical systems such as the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 and the International Classification of Disease-10. There is significant evidence that pharmaceutical treatment, particularly stimulants, can reduce symptoms in the short term. Objective: To explore the comprehensive landscape of childhood to adulthood ADHD within the literature, which involves delving into its prevalence, etiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment modalities. Methods: A literature search was conducted across articles published in English between 2011 and 2023; the literature extensively explored the prevalence, etiology, risk factors and diagnosis of the subject, with limited attention given to treatment between 2003 and 2023, utilizing electronic search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, IndMED, and MedIND, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search terms included "ADHD," "Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder," "Hyperactivity," "Child Psychiatry," "Hyperkinetic Disorder," "Attention Deficit Disorder," and "Worldwide.” Results: Out of the 400 papers evaluated, only 52 met the criteria encompassing prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Conclusions: ADHD is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder impacting individuals from childhood to adulthood, with varying prevalence rates globally. Methodological differences influence prevalence estimates, highlighting the need for standardized study designs. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to its development. Management typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, lifestyle adjustments, and medication. However, refined diagnostic criteria and tailored treatment guidelines for children and adults are necessary. Continuous evaluation of interventions is crucial for optimizing care and enhancing the well-being of individuals with ADHD.
