AbstractCognition and emotion, traditionally thought of as largely distinct, have recently begun to be conceptualized as dynamically linked processes that interact to influence functioning. This study investigated the moderating effects of cognitive functioning on the relationship between negative emotionality and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom severity. A total of 216 (140 hyperactive/inattentive; 76 typically developing) preschoolers aged 3–4 years were administered a neuropsychological test battery (i.e., NEPSY). To avoid method bias, child negative emotionality was rated by teachers (Temperament Assessment Battery for Children-Revised), and parents rated symptom severity on the ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS-IV). Hierarchical Linear Regression analyses revealed that both negative emotionality and Perceptual-Motor & Executive Functions accounted for significant unique variance in ADHD symptom severity. Significant interactions indicated that when negative emotionality is low, but not high, neuropsychological functioning accounts for significant variability in ADHD symptoms, with lower functioning predicting more symptoms. Emotional and neuropsychological functioning, both individually and in combination, play a significant role in the expression of ADHD symptom severity. (JINS, 2011, 17, 502–510)

Introduction: The Portuguese version of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire showed adequate psychometric properties in a community sample but the American cut-off seemed inadequate. This study aimed to validate this questionnaire in clinical populations of children with sleep disorders and with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.Material and Methods: The study sample included 148 Portuguese children aged 2 to 10 years old that where divided in 3 groups: 1. Clinical group with sleep disorders (behavioral insomnias, parasomnias or sleep-related breathing disorders); 2. Clinical group with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder; 3. Control group. The sleep habits and sleep problems were evaluated using the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Sleep-related disorders were confirmed by polysomnography.Results: The questionnaire’s internal consistency (Cronbach α) in the clinical sample (sleep disorders and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder) was 0.75 and ranged from 0.55 to 0.85 for the subscales. Children with sleep disorders and attention deficit/  hyperactivity disorder had a higher sleep disturbance index (full scale score) compared to the control group. The subscales presented significant differences between the subgroups with different sleep disorders showing discriminative validity. The receiver operating characteristic analysis of the sleep disturbance index comparing the sleep disorder and control sample determined a cut-off of 48 (sensibility 0.83;specificity 0.69).Discussion: Children with sleep disorders and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder evidenced higher Sleep Disturbance Index (full scale score) comparing to the control group. The subscales presented significative differences between the subgroups with different sleep disorders showing discriminative validityConclusion: The Portuguese version of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire showed adequate psychometric properties for children with sleep disorders and/or attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. The cut-off value 48 is better adjusted for the Portuguese population.

AbstractObjectiveTo characterize adults with comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity-disorder (ADHD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) with regard to ADHD symptoms, psychopathology, cognitive functioning and psychosocial factors.MethodA between-group design compared a group of individuals diagnosed with ADHD (n = 40) with a group diagnosed with BPD and who also met the criteria for ADHD (ADHD + BPD) (n = 20).ResultsSignificant differences were observed for both childhood and current impulsivity symptoms, whereby ADHD + BPD exhibited increased impulsivity; no differences on self-report and cognitive measures of impulsivity were reported. The ADHD + BPD group scored significantly higher on measures of depression, anxiety and numerous other axis I and II conditions. The ADHD + BPD group scored significantly lower on most measures of intellectual functioning and attention, however largely not on those relating to response inhibition. Furthermore, group differences were observed for psychosocial factors, including education, substance use and criminal record.ConclusionComorbid ADHD and BPD is characterized by more symptoms of impulsivity, additional psychopathology, comparatively lower intellectual and attentional functioning and increased psychosocial difficulties.

The Impact

ObjectivesTo date, limited data has been available regarding the impact of adenotonsillectomy (AT) on the psychosocial well-being of chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy (CAH) subjects.AimsIn the present study, we examined the impacts of AT on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms (ADHD) and sleep disturbance symptoms and quality of life of children with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy.MethodsParents of children with CAH filled in Conners Parent Rating Scale-Revised Short (CPRS-RS), children's sleep habits questionnaire (CSHQ), and the pediatric quality of life inventory, parent versions (PedsQL-P) before and six months after AT.ResultsA total of 64 children were included the study (mean age: 6.8 ± 2.4 years; 50% boys). Mean ADHD Index (11.98 ± 6.94 versus 10.35 ± 6.44) (before AT versus after AT) and oppositional scores (6.73 ± 3.72 versus 5.87 ± 3.52) improved statistically significantly after AT (P < 0.05). All of the CSHQ subdomain scores, except sleep duration, significantly reduced after AT (P < 0.05). Regarding to quality of life, both PedsQL-P physical health (64.20 ± 19.81 versus 69.84 ± 18.63) and psychosocial health subdomain scores (67.83 ± 12.89 versus 75.57 ± 13.16), and PedsQL-P total score (66.57 ± 12.94 versus 73.58 ± 12.46) of the patients were significantly higher six months after AT (P < 0.001).ConclusionsIt is necessary for child and adolescent psychiatrists to query the symptoms of CAH to identify children with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy who suffer from ADHD symptoms, oppositionality, and sleep disturbance. To carry out AT seems to be beneficial for coexisting ADHD and sleep disorder symptoms and quality of life in these children.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
