Correspondance between ICD 10 Hypercinetic disorder and DSM IV Attention deficit/hiperactivity disorder on Croatian sample

The aim of this 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 only (n=3), and children without any symptoms in 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 (&#61547; =0.66 ; percent of agreement= 78%). Chi quadrate test was (&#61539; 2=250.3 ; df=1 ; p<0.001). Prevalence rates for DSM IV ADHD was 15.16%, and for ICD 10 Hyperkinetic disorder 9.3%. DSM IV identifies a broader group of children. However, there is a substantial overlap between the groups formed with these different criteri
