Abstract
Objective To investigate the behavioral characteristics of preschool children aged 5-6 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) comorbid with enuresis. Methods Conner’s Parent Symptom Questionnaire and Digital Cancellation Test were used to investigate 42 children with ADHD(ADHD group), 36 children with ADHD comorbid with enuresis (ADHD+ NE group) and 48 normal controls. Results In the Conner’s Parent Symptom Questionnaire, the score of the conduct factors ((0.79±0.13), (0.83±0.50)), learning factors ((1.55±0.49), (1.92±0.62)), mind-body factors ((0.61±0.35), (0.67±0.22)), hyperactivity impulse factors ((1.96±0.48), (2.21±0.69)), anxiety factors((0.76±0.53), (1.02±0.58)) and hyperactivity indices ((1.57±0.14), (2.19±0.33)) in ADHD group and ADHD+ NE group were higher than those of the control group((0.59±0.39), (0.64±0.28), (0.35±0.74), (0.82±0.63), (0.51±0.40), (0.86±0.59), (all P<0.05)). The scores of learning factors, hyperactivity impulse factors, anxiety factors and hyperactivity indices in ADHD+ NE group were higher than those in ADHD group(P<0.05). In the digital cancellation test, the gross scores((52.37±1.48), (57.42±1.05))and net scores ((39.15±8.84), (38.99±5.72)) of ADHD group and ADHD+ NE group were lower than those in the control group ((89.40±7.82), (80.16±12.54))(均P<0.05). The error scores ((38.16±9.60), (40.59±9.28)) and error rate(0.40±0.27, 0.59±0.44)of ADHD group and ADHD+ NE group were higher than those of the control group ((14.01±5.32), (0.15±0.08))(all P<0.05). The error rate of ADHD+ NE group were higher than those of preschool ADHD group(P<0.05). Conclusion The behavioral problems of preschool children aged 5-6 years with ADHD comorbid with enuresis are more serious and anxiety is more obvious, which should be paid attention to.
