Journal Article
Diagnosis and Treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Preschool-Aged Children
2018
Overview
Objectives:
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder defined as a persistent pattern of inactivity and/or hyperactivity that interferes with behavioral function or development. Diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in the preschool-aged population (children 3–5 years old) is more complicated compared with older children because of developmental and physiological differences. This article reviews the available literature regarding the challenges associated with ADHD diagnosis and treatment in preschool-aged children, as well as the unmet needs of preschool-aged children with ADHD.
Methods:
Key considerations for ADHD diagnosis and treatment patterns in preschool-aged children are summarized in this review, including the need for early intervention, the association with comorbidities, and the differences in pharmacokinetic profiles between preschool-aged children and older children.
Results:
Efficacy and safety data are lacking, as clinical trial design and execution pose unique challenges in this population. Preschool-aged children often have difficulty with pill swallowing and tolerating phlebotomy necessary for the collection of pharmacokinetic and safety data. However, early diagnosis and treatment are essential to mitigate ADHD symptoms and comorbidities that may develop during childhood and adolescence in patients with persistent ADHD.
Conclusion:
This review describes the established diagnostic and treatment modalities, along with the unmet needs of preschool-aged children with ADHD.
