Detailed Description
Single-centre open-label prospective study, including 127 subjects over a period of 2 years. Children and adolescents (6-17 years) who have been diagnosed with ADHD will be enrolled and followed during 24 months of ADHD treatment.
Screening assessments include medical, neurodevelopmental and psychiatric history, clinical evaluation and definition of the ADHD diagnosis and its subtypes or presentations (according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) IV and DSM 5), ADHD symptom severity and global functional impairment (by the investigator-rated ADHD Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) and Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity and Improvement; CGI-S and CGI-I), comorbidities (by the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS) clinical interview), intellectual ability (by the WISC test), and general level of functioning (by the Vineland interview). Subjects previously assessed and diagnosed will be re-assessed at the screening visit to ascertain a current evaluation and definition of these parameters.
At baseline, a Qb-test and an assessment of symptom severity and global functional impairment will be made by the investigator-rated ADHD-RS-IV and CGI-S, everyday functioning by parent-rated WIFRS, and quality of life by parent-rated CHIP-CE. An adverse events report will be collected by interview with open-ended questions. Assignment to treatment will be individualized according to clinical picture and patient preference.
At subsequent visits (1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months) the following assessments will be performed: Investigator-rated ADHD-RS-IV, CGI-S, Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) scales for symptom severity, global functional impairment and improvement. Adverse event report. Compliance assessment through pill count. Assessment of comorbidity status according to DSM-IV and DSM 5 checklist/interview.
A Qb-test will be performed at the 1 and 12 month visits. Everyday functioning and quality of life will be assessed by parent-rated WIFRS and CHIP-CE scales at the 12 and 24 month visits.
Duration of study treatment per subject is 24 months. Medication dosage is 1-3 doses daily as needed to optimize symptom control. Medications (methylphenidate, amphetamine, atomoxetine) will be provided by the pharmacy according to routines in standard clinical treatment.
For cluster analysis of Qb-test results, retrospective data from at least 50 patients previously diagnosed at our clinic will be added to the data from the subjects participating in the prospective study, to increase sample size to ascertain sufficient power for subgroup (cluster) analysis.
Safety evaluations Adverse event (AE) reports will be collected at all visits through open-ended questions. Vital signs (height, weight, blood pressure, pulse) will be assessed at all visits. AE severity should be graded: Mild, Moderate or Severe, and all AEs must be followed until an outcome is known, ensuring the subject's safety. All AEs will be recorded in the subject's medical records and in the Clinical Report Form (CRF), and also reported to the Medical Products Agency according to local regulations.
Study population Approximately 100 subjects from our centre will be enrolled in the prospective study.
Retrospective data for the cluster analysis will be collected from at least 50 patients previously diagnosed at our centre.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children 6-17 years of age
- Clinical diagnosis ADHD of any subtype and DSM 5 presentation
- Intellectual ability in the normal range, according to Wechsler tests and clinical judgment
- Subjects treated with ADHD medication will have a wash-out period prior to Qb-test at baseline, of 1 week for methylphenidate or amphetamine, 2 weeks for atomoxetine
Exclusion Criteria:
- Physical or psychological limitation making Qb-test unsuitable.
- Cardiovascular disease, seizures or other unstable medical conditions that might increase the risk for the subject.
- Bipolar Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Psychosis, severe autism or other severe comorbid or medical conditions that in the investigator's opinion would make study participation unsuitable.
- Concomitant medications (allowed at investigator's discretion), must be recorded in the subject's medical records and the CRF.
- Substance use.
