Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Italian Study of the Efficacy of Atomoxetine in the Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Comorbid Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). (NCT NCT00192023)

NCT ID: NCT00192023

Last Updated: 2010-01-18

Results Overview

Items from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) criteria for ADHD are included for the two subsets of symptoms: inattention (items #1-#9) and hyperactivity/impulsivity (items #11-#19). The SNAP-IV is based on a 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much) rating scale. Total subscale scores range from 0 to 54.

The scale measures symptoms of DSM-IV linked anxiety disorders in children. Contains 41 items. Individual item scores range from 0 (not true or hardly ever true) to 2 (very true or often true). Therefore, the overall score ranges from 0 to 82. Higher scores are more indicative of greater anxiety.

Measures presence and severity of depression. Consists of 17 items scored on a 1-5 or 1-7 scale. A rating of 1 indicates normal, thus the minimum score is 17. The maximum score is 113. In general, scores below 20 indicate an absence of depression; scores of 20 or 30 indicate borderline depression; scores of 40 to 60 indicate moderate depression.

Last Observation Carried Forward was applied. Missing data were not imputed, which generates different analysis population sizes for the different endpoints.

Parent-rated assessment of a child's health status and level of functioning. It consists of 76 items. The majority of items assess frequency of activities or feelings using a five-point response format (for example, 'how good is your child at making friends?' 1=never, 5=always). Standard scores (t-value) were established, with all domains and subdomains having a mean score of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Standard scores are expressed in standard deviation units. T-score=\[(score-4.2382)\*10/0.32835\] + 50. Higher scores mean improvement.
