Incidence rate differences (IRDs), adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs), and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to evaluate the association of maternal hypothyroidism with childhood ADHD risk.

For children born preterm, there was significantly increased risk of ADHD if their mothers were diagnosed prior to (IRD\u2009=\u20093.06 and aHR\u2009=\u20091.43; 95% CI: 1.09, 1.88), but not during pregnancy. The effect of maternal hypothyroidism on increased risk of ADHD was stronger for boys (IRD\u2009=\u20091.84 and aHR\u2009=\u20091.26; 95% CI: 1.14, 1.40) than it was for girls (IRD\u2009=\u20090.48 and aHR\u2009=\u20091.19; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.40) and for Hispanic children (IRD\u2009=\u20091.60 and aHR\u2009=\u20091.45; 95% CI: 1.25, 1.68) compared with other race ethnicities.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003Exposure to maternal hypothyroidism during the periconceptual period significantly increases the risk of ADHD and that the association varies with gestational age at delivery, child sex, and race-ethnicity.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Key Points\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1717073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,27]],"date-time":"2020-10-27T00:09:42Z","timestamp":1603757382000},"page":"191-201","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Maternal Hypothyroidism Increases the Risk of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in the Offspring"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Morgan R.","family":"Peltier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Foundations of Medicine, NYU-Long Island School of Medicine, Mineola, New York"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, NYU-Winthrop Hospital, Mineola, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Fassett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center, Los Angeles, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vicki Y.","family":"Chiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research and Evaluation, Kaiser Permanente Southern California, Pasadena, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Darios","family":"Getahun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research and Evaluation, Kaiser Permanente Southern California, Pasadena, California"},{"name":"Department of Health Systems Science, Kaiser Permanente Bernard J.
