“…There is strong evidence supporting hereditary contribution to ADHD, although non-hereditary factors, including environmental causes (mother smoking, alcohol, drug abuse and stress in pregnancy, low weight at birth, low Apgar score, abnormal presentation, cesarean section), are implicated in its etiology. The results of this study show that apart from the gene phenotype and the hereditary psychopathological background [23], the contribution of environmental variables to ADHD must not be ignored (Table 1). 30] or may have at the same time abused substances [31].…”

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common pediatric neurobehavioral disorder often treated in the primary care setting. It shows a high and chronic level of inattention, impulsivity/hyperactivity and/or both, and can affect more than 2 million school-age children. The researchers are not sure about the exact causes of the disorder, but it seems that apart from genetic factors, perinatal factors seem to dynamically contribute to the development of the disorder. Purpose: The aim of this review was to investigate the perinatal and obstetric factors related to the development of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in childhood. Method: An online review of English language studies published from 2002 to 2020, using the Embase, Psy-chINFO, PubMed and Google Scholar databases. From 1100 studies only 17 were included in the review since they met the inclusion criteria. Conclusions: The results of the review showed that apart from heredity and genetic factors, various conditions in pregnancy or the mother's way of life in pregnancy, adverse conditions in labor and infancy can contribute on their own or in combination to the development of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in childhood. Obstetric vigilance to detect risk factors in pregnancy in combination with the prevention of obstetric complications is the key in preventing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

“…In the larger cross-sectional study among 13,200 participants, maternal gestational hypertension was associated with a two-fold (95% CIs=1.1–3.5) increased ADHD risk in children [ 40 ]. However, since this study used maternal retrospective reports to identify both child ADHD and maternal gestational hypertension, shared method and recall bias may have influenced the findings [ 41 , 46 , 53 ]. The other cross-sectional study found no effects of maternal hypertension diagnosed during pregnancy on offspring ADHD at 3–4 or 11–12 years of age among 566 participants [ 41 ].…”

Maternal Hypertensive Pregnancy Disorders and Mental and Behavioral Disorders in the Offspring: a Review

Purpose of Review We review here recent original research and meta-analytic evidence on the associations of maternal hypertensive pregnancy disorders and mental and behavioral disorders in the offspring. Recent Findings Seven meta-analyses and 11 of 16 original research studies published since 2015 showed significant associations between maternal hypertensive pregnancy disorders and offspring mental and behavioral disorders. Evidence was most consistent in meta-analyses and high-quality cohort studies. The associations, independent of familial confounding, were observed on different mental and behavioral disorders in childhood and schizophrenia in adulthood. Preterm birth and small-for-gestational age birth emerged as possible moderators and mediators of the associations. Cross-sectional and case-control studies yielded inconsistent findings, but had lower methodological quality. Summary Accumulating evidence from methodologically sound studies shows that maternal hypertensive pregnancy disorders are associated with an increased risk of mental and behavioral disorders in the offspring in childhood. More studies on adult mental disorders are needed.

“…Various research findings have indicated that almost all environmental insults associated with physical or psychiatric illness occur in utero or during the immediate neonatal period 64 . Many factors have been associated with ADHD, such as smoking and alcohol use during pregnancy, prematurity and low gestational birth weight, maternal stress and obesity, socioeconomic disadvantage, breastfeeding, early deprivation, and family environment/parenting 60,[65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75] . However, although several epidemiological and data linkage studies have made substantial contributions to a better understanding of the associations between, for example, prematurity and ADHD, it is still not possible to infer causality from these findings 76 .…”
