“…Esse perfil de segurança para o uso de psicoestimulantes em pacientes com TAB é muito importante, uma vez que cerca de 20% dos pacientes com TAB apresentam TDAH como comorbidade 11,26 . Existem dados bem heterogêneos quanto à prevalência de síndrome metabólica (SM) em pacientes com TAB, variando de 16,7 a 67% [27][28][29] . Podemos estratificar essa prevalência de acordo com o modelo de tratamento: 36,3% para APS + EH, 36% para APS e 10,5% para EH 30 .…”
