LOINC long common name : Deprecated PhenX measure - attention-deficit - hyperactivity disorder symptoms;
LOINC description : A questionnaire to assess attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition
characterized by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that is more
pronounced than in other individuals at similar developmental levels (American Psychiatric
Association, 2000). This measure is used to screen an individual for attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) and to assess the severity of symptoms. ADHD is found in 3% to 7%
of school-aged children and demonstrates a familial pattern as first-order relatives
of affected individuals are at higher risk for ADHD and other disorders, such as mood,
anxiety, and learning disorders. The severity and course of ADHD are also influenced
by environmental factors, such as school and family (American Psychiatric Association,
2000).;
