Family psychiatric history evidence on the nosological relations of DSM-IV ADHD combined and inattentive subtypes: New data and meta-analysis

Article Abstract:

Nosology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is studied to find out if Dsm-IV combined (ADHD-C) and primarily inattentive (ADHD-PI) subtypes are in fact distinct disorders or instead are closely related, differing only in severity. A distinct subtype model of the relation between ADHD-C and ADHD-PI is studied and it is suggested that these are partially overlapping conditions with some notable etiological distinction between them.

The perceptual load paradigm is used to examine early and late selective attention in children with the Primarily Inattentive (ADHD-I) and Combined subtypes (ADHD-C) of ADHD. No evidence emerges for selective attention deficits in either of the subtype, though sluggish cognitive pace is associated with abnormal early selection.
