Abstract Objective To compare and analyze the changes and characteristics of medication treatment for children with newly diagnosed ADHD between 2014 and 2015. Methods By comparing the diagnostic records and the drug administration records in the pharmacy, medication treatments for children with ADHD in Shanghai Children's Medical Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between 2014 and 2015 were analyzed. Results In 2014, 2 069 cases of children with suspected ADHD were evaluated in our hospital and 1 292 cases were diagnosed as having ADHD. The diagnostic rate was 62.45%. In 2015, 2 268 cases of suspected ADHD were evaluated and 1 510 cases were diagnosed as having ADHD. The diagnostic rate was 66.58%. The diagnostic rate was more significantly increased in 2015 than that in 2014 (P<0.05). Stratified by gender and age, we found that the number of medication treatment for boys aged 6-9 years old in 2015 increased more significantly than that in 2014 (P<0.05). Compared with other age groups, the proportion of medicine treatment for children of 6-9 years old was the highest (P<0.01). Conclusion In 2015, the ADHD diagnosis rate increased significantly compared with 2014, which may be related to the promotion of partnership between medicine and education. Children of 6-9 years old with ADHD have the highest proportion of medication treatment.
