The main aim of the present study was to assess whether high and low levels of DESR in adult ADHD patients can be operationalized and whether they are clinically useful.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S0924933819000117_sec2\" sec-type=\"other\">\n\t    <jats:title>Methods.<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>A total of 441 newly referred 18- to 55-year-old adults of both sexes with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Fifth Edition (DSM-5) ADHD completed self-reported rating scales. We operationalized DESR using items from the Barkley Current Behavior Scale. We used receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves to identify the optimal cut-off on the Barkley Emotional Dysregulation (ED) Scale to categorize patients as having high- versus low-level DESR and compared demographic and clinical characteristics between the groups.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S0924933819000117_sec3\" sec-type=\"results\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>We averaged the optimal Barkley ED Scale cut-points from the ROC curve analyses across all subscales and categorized ADHD patients as having high- (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 191) or low-level (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 250) DESR (total Barkley ED Scale score \u22658 or &lt;8, respectively). Those with high-level DESR had significantly more severe symptoms of ADHD, executive dysfunction, autistic traits, levels of psychopathology, and worse quality of life compared with those with low-level DESR. There were no major differences in outcomes among medicated and unmedicated patients.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S0924933819000117_sec4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>High levels of DESR are common in adults with ADHD and when present represent a burdensome source of added morbidity and disability worthy of further clinical and scientific attention.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/j.eurpsy.2019.11","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,24]],"date-time":"2020-02-24T09:40:35Z","timestamp":1582537235000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Toward operationalizing deficient emotional self-regulation in newly referred adults with ADHD: A receiver operator characteristic curve analysis"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"Joseph","family":"Biederman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maura","family":"DiSalvo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.
