Fracture rates by medication type in attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background

ADHD is a condition with extensively researched increased risks of psychiatric disorders, traumatic injury, impulsivity, and delayed response times.

Objectives

To analyze the incidences of fractures in patients with ADHD on various medication regimens.

Methods

Using the TriNetX database, we created seven patient cohorts, all of age under 25, based on medication types commonly used for ADHD. The cohorts we created were: no medication use, exclusive use of a -phenidate class stimulant, exclusive use of an amphetamine class stimulant, nonexclusive use of formations of either stimulant, exclusive use of non-stimulant medications approved for ADHD, nonexclusive use, and no medications. We then examined rates while controlling for age, sex, race, and ethnicity.
