Abstract
Objective: To develop and validate INCLEN Diagnostic Tool for
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (INDT-ADHD).
Design: Diagnostic test evaluation by cross sectional design.
Setting: Tertiary care pediatric centers.
Participants: 156 children aged 65-117 months.
Methods: After randomization, INDT-ADHD and Connor’s 3
Parent Rating Scale (C3PS) were administered, followed by an
expert evaluation by DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria.
Main outcome measures: Psychometric evaluation of
diagnostic accuracy, validity (construct, criterion and convergent)
and internal consistency.
Results: INDT-ADHD had 18 items that quantified symptoms and
impairment. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was identified
in 57, 87 and 116 children by expert evaluation, INDT-ADHD and
C3PS, respectively. Psychometric parameters of INDT-ADHD for
differentiating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and normal
children were: sensitivity 87.7%, specificity 97.2%, positive
predictive value 98.0% and negative predictive value 83.3%,
whereas for differentiating from other neuro-developmental
disorders were 87.7%, 42.9%, 58.1% and 79.4%, respectively.
Internal consistency was 0.91. INDT-ADHD has a 4-factor
structure explaining 60.4% of the variance. Convergent validity
with Conner’s Parents Rating Scale was moderate (r =0.73, P=
0.001).
Conclusions: INDT-ADHD is suitable for diagnosing attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder in Indian children between the ages
of 6 to 9 years.
