【摘要】目的:了解2013年1 - 7月ADHD处方类型与门诊再入院的相关因素。方法:卫生部处方数据库，包括处方者、地区、年龄和性别数据，包含近20%的IMS数据。结果:共开处方73,189张，共41,341例(男性30,014例;72.7%)患者。38645例(93.5%)患者年龄在6 ~ 18岁。最常见的处方药物是哌甲酯OROS (MPH, 59.7%)，其次是IR MPH、托莫西汀和联合用药。在处方实践中存在一些地区差异。治疗选择随年龄和性别的变化显著。重复处方率以6 ~ 18岁男性联合用药者最高。结论:ADHD的治疗选择似乎受到官方规定的严重影响。年龄、性别和药物选择是与三种药物相关的重要因素。
