“…The overall pooled prevalence of ADHD was observed as 63.2 (95% CI 49.2-77.1) in 1000 children surveyed (Fig. 2a and Table 1) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…Hence, the random-effects model was used for meta-analysis. The prevalence among studies varies a wide range with Malhotra et al reporting 0.93 prevalence per 1000 to prevalence of 12.6 reported by Ghosh et al in the school-based group, resulting in statistical heterogeneity [14,28]. To further explore the heterogeneity, a subgroup analysis was also conducted based on the study setting, to determine the prevalence in school-based and community-based settings.…”

Objective To determine the pooled prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Indian children. Methods The searching of published literature was conducted in different databases (PubMed, Ovid SP, and EMBASE). The authors also tried to acquire information from the unpublished literature about the prevalence of ADHD. A screening was done to include eligible original studies, community or school-based, cross-sectional or cohort, reporting the prevalence of ADHD in children aged ≤ 18 y in India. Retrieved data were analyzed using STATA MP12 (Texas College station). Results Of 729 studies retrieved by searching different databases, 183 studies were removed as duplicates, and 546 titles and abstracts were screened. After screening, 19 studies were included for quantitative analysis. Subgroup analysis was conducted with respect to their setting (school-based/community-based). Fifteen studies performed in a school-based setting showed 75.1 (95% CI 56.0-94.1) pooled prevalence of ADHD per 1000 children of 4-19 y of age. In community-based settings, the pooled prevalence per 1000 children surveyed was ). The overall pooled prevalence of ADHD was observed as 63.2 (95% CI 49.2-77.1) in 1000 children surveyed. Significant heterogeneity was observed in the systemic review. Conclusions ADHD accounts for a significant health burden, and understanding its burden is crucial for effective health policy-making for educational intervention and rehabilitation.

“…A level of ADHD symptoms among children was assessed by class teachers using the Conner's Teacher Rating Scale Revised (short version) (CTRS-R:S) [20]. The Conner's questionnaires belong to the most widely used child behaviour ratings scales in the world [21], including India [22,23,24]. The symptoms were assessed using the total score of CTRS-R:S and 4 indexes: Cognitive problems/inattention index, Hyperactivity index, Oppositional symptoms index and ADHD index, which is a combination of items derived from empirical discrimination between clinical and matched control cases [20].…”

The aim of this study was to assess the relation between early exposure to stressful event and a level of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children, based on outcomes from a natural experiment. It was hypothesized that children pre- and postnatally exposed to cyclone Aila have a higher level of ADHD symptoms compared to the controls, and the effect depends on timing of exposure. Indian children (8-11y) prenatally (N=336) and early postnatally (N=216) exposed to Aila were compared to non-exposed control group of their peers (N=285). ADHD symptoms were assessed using the Conner’s Teacher Rating Scale Revised. The main effect of exposure to the cyclone on total ADHD symptoms’ score, ADHD index, Hyperactivity and Oppositional symptoms was significant and independent of covariates. Both prenatally and postnatally exposed girls, and only postnatally exposed boys, showed significantly higher level of Oppositional symptoms compared to the controls. Cognitive problems/Inattention symptoms were increased in both prenatally and postnatally exposed boys, but not girls, compared to non-exposed children. The timing of programming the later behavior characteristics by stressful experiences due to natural disaster is not limited to fetal life but extends at least into infancy. Sex is a significant modulator of the early stress-ADHD symptoms association.

“…Great disparities in rates of prevalence are evident across different states of India as well; while a study from the state of Assam in the North-East revealed a value as high as 12.66% among 300 primary school children of 6 to 11 years (Ghosh et al, 2018) and a study in Tamil Nadu among primary school children revealed a staggering figure of 11.3% (Venkata and Panicker 2013), a study in Belagavi revealed a much lower value (5.76%) (Joshi & Angolkar, 2021).…”

Objective: To determine prevalence of ADHD among primary school children in Colombo district, Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,125 primary school children aged 6 to 10 years in Sinhala medium state schools in Colombo district. Prevalence was assessed with validated Sinhala version of Swanson, Nolan, Pelham—IV (SNAP-IV-S) scale where primary care givers and class teachers were the respondents and diagnosis was confirmed by a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. Results: The mean age of the sample was 7.9 years ( SD = 1.2) and largely males ( n = 603, 56.6%). Overall prevalence of ADHD was 6.5% (95% CI [5.1, 8.1]) with combined as the commonest subtype. Prevalence was higher among males (9.6%) than females (2.9%) with a sex ratio of 1:3.8 and was highest in the 7 to 8 year old age group (7.4%–7.5%). Conclusion: School based screening enabling early detection of ADHD and timely referral is the need of the hour.
