Abstract
Background/objectives: Although ADHD in adults has become visible and inclusive in recent years in diagnostic manuals, research is still limited regarding the long-term outcomes of patients with this disorder. The main objective of this research was to address the many facets of predictor variables in girls with ADHD facing unplanned pregnancies at young ages in order to improve the management of pre-, peri-, and postnatal complications that may occur, as well as for early psychiatric diagnosis and effective intervention.
Methods: PubMed and Web of Science Databases were used to perform literature research, and a total of 27 records were selected and used for data extraction.
Results: Related articles have included the persistence of ADHD symptoms comorbid with other disorders among girls with ADHD as a risk factor for teenage pregnancies. Conduct disorders and substance use disorders are the main co-occurrent diagnoses that increase the likelihood for teenage childbirth. Unplanned pregnancies at young ages are associated with unfavorable psychosocial trajectories both for the mother and the child.
Conclusions: In this review, we emphasize the importance of predisposing factors for risky sexual behaviors and unplanned pregnancies in cases of girls with ADHD. The topic of the article draws attention to the need for uniform national individualized care of girls with ADHD, the implementation of programs to prevent academic failure and early parenthood as well as addressing comorbid obstetrical and psychiatric conditions, especially in regions where the rate of adolescent births continues to be high.
背景/目的：尽管近年来成人ADHD在诊断手册中已经变得明显和广泛，但关于该疾病患者的长期预后的研究仍然有限。本研究的主要目的是解决在年轻时面临意外怀孕的ADHD女孩的许多方面的预测变量，以改善可能发生的产前，围生期和产后并发症的管理，以及早期精神病学诊断和有效干预。方法：采用PubMed和Web of Science数据库进行文献研究，共选取27条记录进行数据提取。结果：相关文章包括ADHD症状与其他疾病并存的持续性ADHD女孩是青少年怀孕的危险因素。行为障碍和物质使用障碍是增加青少年生育可能性的主要共同发生的诊断。年轻时意外怀孕对母亲和孩子都有不利的社会心理轨迹。结论：在这篇综述中，我们强调了ADHD女孩高危性行为和意外怀孕的易感因素的重要性。这篇文章的主题引起了人们的注意，需要对患有多动症的女孩进行统一的全国个性化护理，实施预防学业失败和过早生育的计划，以及解决伴随的产科和精神疾病，特别是在青少年生育率持续高的地区。
期刊介绍：
Children is an international, open access journal dedicated to a streamlined, yet scientifically rigorous, dissemination of peer-reviewed science related to childhood health and disease in developed and developing countries.
The publication focuses on sharing clinical, epidemiological and translational science relevant to children’s health. Moreover, the primary goals of the publication are to highlight under‑represented pediatric disciplines, to emphasize interdisciplinary research and to disseminate advances in knowledge in global child health. In addition to original research, the journal publishes expert editorials and commentaries, clinical case reports, and insightful communications reflecting the latest developments in pediatric medicine. By publishing meritorious articles as soon as the editorial review process is completed, rather than at predefined intervals, Children also permits rapid open access sharing of new information, allowing us to reach the broadest audience in the most expedient fashion.
