abstract="BACKGROUND: This study systematically reviewed the literature in order to determine the effect of ADHD on injuries and assessed the magnitude of the potential association. <br><br>METHODS: A systematic review of the studies examining the association of ADHD and injuries was carried out across multiple databases. Odds ratios and standardized mean differences were pooled. <br><br>RESULTS: A total of 35 studies were selected for quantitative analysis. The association of ADHD and injuries was confirmed over the meta-analysis of eligible studies. The odds ratio pooled over all comparative studies was 1.96(95% CI: 1.6-2.4) using random effects model. Pooled odds ratio of 2.1 and 2.17 were calculated respectively when cohort and case-control studies or just cohort studies were included. The pooled odds ratio reduced to 1.8(CI:1.45-2.3) when studies on specific injuries were removed. For studies comparing scores of rating scales, the pooled standardized mean difference was 0.61(95% CI: 0.03-1.2). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Those with ADHD are nearly two times more likely to be injured.<br><br>© 2017 KUMS, All rights reserved.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
