“…These children have excess motor activity manifesting as extreme restlessness and constant movement often when not appropriate and may have an increased risk of traumatic injury (Simonoff et al, 2007). Similarly, inattention may also increase the risk of injury, especially traffic‐related injuries (Amiri et al, 2020) due to failure to carefully make road decisions. When combined, inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity appear to significantly increase the risk of injury in children with ADHD (Amiri et al, 2020).…”

Problem It is unclear if attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) increases the risk of head trauma in children. Methods We conducted a multicenter prospective observational study of children with minor blunt head trauma. Guardians were queried, and medical records were reviewed as to whether the patient had previously been diagnosed with ADHD. Enrolled patients were categorized based on their mechanism of injury, with a comparison of those with motor vehicle collision (MVC) versus non‐MVC mechanisms. Findings A total of 3410 (84%) enrolled children had ADHD status available, and 274 (8.0%; 95% confidence interval, CI: 7.1, 9.0%) had been diagnosed with ADHD. The mean age was 9.2 ± 3.5 years and 64% were males. Rates of ADHD for specific mechanisms of injury were: assaults: 23/131 (17.6%; 95% CI 11.5, 25.2%), automobile versus pedestrian 23/173 (13.3%; 95% CI: 8.6, 19.3%), bicycle crashes 26/148 (17.6%; 95% CI: 11.8, 24.7%), falls 107/1651 (6.5%; 95% 5.3, 7.8%), object struck head 31/421 (7.4%; 5.1, 10.3%), motorized vehicle crashes (e.g., motorcycle, motor scooter) 11/148 (7.4%; 3.8, 12.9%), and MVCs 46/704 (6.5%; 95% CI: 4.8, 8.6%). Conclusion Children with ADHD appear to be at increased risk of head trauma from certain mechanisms of injury including assaults, auto versus pedestrian, and bicycle crashes but are not at an increased risk for falls.
