A total of 150 patients with TS were divided into two groups (TS group; TS + ADHD group) according to DSM-IV with 75 patients in each group. All the enrolled patients were investigated using self-designed questionnaire and Family Environment Scale-Chinese Edition (FES-CV). Forty-six factors were used as variables and were quantified. Data were analyzed by SPSS10.0 and the odds ratios of different factors to TS + ADHD were calculated by using univariate and multivariate analysis. (1) Families of children with TS + ADHD had lower score in cohesion, expression, intellectual-cultural orientation, active-recreational orientation, moral religious emphasis and organization, but had higher conflict score in FES-CV than the control group. (2) Single-factor analysis indicated that 8 factors were associated with TS + ADHD including ADHD family history positive (OR = 24.318), low family education (OR = 18.617), longer delay of treatment (OR = 10.796), maternal smoking (OR = 9.094), family conflict (OR = 5.781), hypoxia at birth ...Continue Reading
