Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine directly the extent to which ICD 10 hyperkinetic disorder and DSM IV attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) identify the same children with the same difficulties. Participants were elementary school children (n=409) aged 7-10 years. Diagnostic criteria for ICD 10 hyperkinetic disorder and DSM IV ADHD were applied. Four groups were identified: hyperkinetic disorder and ADHD (n=35), ADHD only (n=27), hyperkinetic disorder only (n=3), and children without any symptoms according to DSM IV and ICD 10 criteria (n=344). The kappa coefficient assessing the agreement between the DSM IV ADHD and ICD 10 hyperkinetic disorder was K=0.66; percent of agreement = 78%. The c2-test yielded c2=250.3 (df=1; p<0.001). The prevalence of DSM IV ADHD and ICD 10 hyperkinetic disorder was 15.16% and 9.3%, respectively. DSM IV was found to identify a broader group of children; however, there was a substantial overlap between the groups formed according to these criteria.
