• New marker using bioimpedance technology in screening for attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, proposed as a potential adjunct to conventional diagnostic methods
  Frederique Cauda l Pediatrics - ADHD children from CHU of Dijon Department of Psychiatry of Children, Dijon, France - Background: Diagnosis of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is not straightforward and misdiagnosis may occur, which leads to the possibility of errors in treatment, with numerous possible side effects that could be especially damaging in view of the age of the population. For this reason, a tool that is easy to use, fast, and cost-effective, which provides an addition to conventional diagnosis and treatment monitoring of ADHD children, is needed. In this study, electro interstitial scans (EIS) were used to perform bioimpedance measurements. The results of conductivity measurements taken using forehead electrodes in a group of children conventionally diagnosed with ADHD and in a control group not showing any symptoms of ADHD were compared.  ... Conclusion: The EIS marker related to the conductivity measurements of the forehead pathway has a high specificity and high sensitivity and use of this could provide practitioners with a noninvasive, low-cost system that is easy to use in the office and could offer an adjunct to the conventional diagnosis of ADHD children. It could also assist in treatment monitoring, and allow for earlier intervention.Keywords: ADHD, children, electro interstitial scan (EIS), bioimpedance, conductivity measurements
