Predictive validity of ICD-10 hyperkinetic disorder relative to DSM-IV attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among younger children
Article Abstract:
The predictive validity of hyperkinetic disorder (HKD) was evaluated over a 6 year period and compared to the predictive validity of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among younger children. It showed that children who met criteria for DSM-IV ADHD but not HKD, exhibited at least as much functional impairment over time as hyperkinetic children.
