Abstract

Objective: to compare perinatal risk factors in children with ADD/H (attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity) and healthy children. Material and methods: It was performed a retrospective case-control study in children with AD/HD. From the clinical history we obtained data of factors that might be associated with the occurrence of AD/HD. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the group of children with AD/HD and control group in factors such as weeks of gestation (p = 0.0117), perinatal hypoxia (p = 0.007). The case of post-term birth was a protective factor (p = 0.028). Language disorders were associated with subsequent development of AD/HD (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: In this article were found associated with the TDA factors such as the late development of the language and as a protective factor is the delivery post-term.
