However, the pooled adherence rate and influencing factors are inconsistent in different studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We searched PubMed, Embase (Ovid), Cochrane Library, and four Chinese Databases from inception to 20 February 2024. All types of studies were included. Two researchers independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias based on ROBINS-I, NOS, and AHRQ. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to pool the prevalence estimates and factors that can be combined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After screening 2,360 publications, 63 studies were finally included, involving 450,759 participants. The general quality of the included studies was moderate to high quality. Adherence rates were reported in 50 studies, and a pooled adherence rate was 43.6% (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 39.0%\u201348.3%). The sensitivity analysis shows robust study results. However, both the primary analysis and the sensitivity analysis indicated high heterogeneity. The results of Meta-analysis identified five factors influencing adherence, of which female (Odds Ratio [OR] = 1.07, 95%CI:1.03\u20131.11), fewer medication doses (OR = 0.45, 95%CI:0.27\u20130.75), parental agreement with the medication plan (OR = 1.87, 95%CI:1.16\u20133.02), single-child families (OR = 1.80, 95%CI:1.29\u20132.52), and medication education for parents (OR = 6.34, 95%CI:3.97\u201310.12) can improve medication adherence. Besides, we also identified seven factors influencing adherence by qualitative analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medication adherence is challenging for children and adolescents with ADHD, moreover, the meta-analysis of adherence rates showed high heterogeneity.
