Titre : Latent class analysis to characterize neonatal risk for neurodevelopmental differences Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Allison M. MOMANY, Auteur ; Elizabeth JASPER, Auteur ; Kristian E. MARKON, Auteur ; Molly A. NIKOLAS, Auteur ; Kelli K. RYCKMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.100-109 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Neonatal risk factors, such as preterm birth and low birth weight, have been robustly linked to neurodevelopmental deficits, yet it is still unclear why some infants born preterm and/or low birth weight experience neurodevelopmental difficulties while others do not. The current study investigated this heterogeneity in neurodevelopmental abilities by examining additional neonatal morbidities as risk factors, utilizing latent class analysis to classify neonates into groups based on similar neonatal risk factors, and including neonates from the full spectrum of gestational age. Methods Neonates who received neonatal care at an academic public hospital during an almost 10-year period (n=19,951) were included in the latent class analysis, and 21 neonatal indicators of health were used. Neonatal class, sex, and the interaction between neonatal class and sex were used to examine differences in neurodevelopment at 18 months of age in a typically developing population. Results The best fitting model included five infant classes: healthy, hypoxic, critically ill, minorly ill, and complicated delivery. Scores on the parent-rated neurodevelopmental measure differed by class such that infants in the critically ill, minorly ill, and complicated delivery classes had lower scores. There was no main effect of sex on the neurodevelopmental measure scores, but the interaction between sex and neonatal class was significant for three out of five neurodevelopmental domains. Conclusions The current study extends the understanding of risk factors in neurodevelopment by including several neonatal medical conditions that are often overlooked and by using a person-centered, as opposed to variable-centered, approach. Future work should continue to examine risk factors, such as maternal health during pregnancy and medical interventions for newborns, in relation to neonatal risks and neurodevelopment by using a person-centered approach.

Titre : Neuropsychological performance measures as intermediate phenotypes for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A multiple mediation analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jaclyn M. KAMRADT, Auteur ; Joel T. NIGG, Auteur ; Karen H. FRIDERICI, Auteur ; Molly A. NIKOLAS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.259-272 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractGenetic influences on dopaminergic neurotransmission have been implicated in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and are theorized to impact cognitive functioning via alterations in frontal–striatal circuitry. Neuropsychological functioning has been proposed to account for the potential associations between dopamine candidate genes and ADHD. However, to date, this mediation hypothesis has not been directly tested. Participants were 498 youth ages 6–17 years (mean M = 10.8 years, SD = 2.4 years, 55.0% male). All youth completed a multistage, multiple-informant assessment procedure to identify ADHD and non-ADHD cases, as well as a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. Youth provided a saliva sample for DNA analyses; the 480 base pair variable number of tandem repeat polymorphism of the dopamine active transporter 1 gene (DAT1) and the 120 base pair promoter polymorphism of the dopamine receptor D4 gene (DRD4) were genotyped. Multiple mediation analysis revealed significant indirect associations between DAT1 genotype and inattention, hyperactivity–impulsivity, and oppositionality, with specific indirect effects through response inhibition. The results highlight the role of neurocognitive task performance, particularly response inhibition, as a potential intermediate phenotype for ADHD, further elucidating the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and externalizing psychopathology.

Titre : Risky bicycling behavior among youth with and without attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Molly A. NIKOLAS, Auteur ; Alexis L. ELMORE, Auteur ; Luke FRANZEN, Auteur ; Elizabeth O'NEAL, Auteur ; Joseph K. KEARNEY, Auteur ; Jodie M. PLUMERT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.141-148 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Injury risk attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder bicycling road crossing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Injury risk from car–bicycle collisions is particularly high among youth with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Here, we capitalized on advances in virtual environment technology to safely and systematically examine road-crossing behavior among child cyclists with and without ADHD. Methods Sixty-three youth (26 with ADHD, 37 non-ADHD controls) ages 10–14 years crossed 12 intersections with continuous cross-traffic while riding a high-fidelity bicycling simulator. Traffic density (i.e., temporal gaps between vehicles) was manipulated to examine the impact of varying traffic density on behavioral indices of road crossing, including gap selection, timing of entry into the roadway, time to spare when exiting the roadway, and close calls with oncoming cars. In addition, parents filled out questionnaires assessing their child's ADHD symptomatology, temperamental characteristics, bicycling experience, and injury history. Results ADHD youth largely chose the same size gaps as non-ADHD youth, although ADHD youth were more likely to select smaller gap sizes following exposure to high-density traffic. In addition, youth with ADHD demonstrated poorer movement timing when entering the intersection, resulting in less time to spare when exiting the roadway. Hyperactivity–impulsivity symptoms were specifically associated with selection of smaller gaps, whereas timing deficits were specifically associated with inattention and inhibitory control. Conclusion Findings highlight two related yet potentially dissociable mechanisms that may influence injury risk among youth with ADHD and provide a foundation for development of injury prevention strategies.
