Health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and comorbid attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder using propensity-score matching.

This study demonstrated a higher burden of clinical symptoms, health service utilization, and psychosocial factors on HRQoL in DMD patients with ADHD compared to those without ADHD. Future studies using global data may provide meaningful comparisons with our results, and the efficacy of ADHD programs in DMD patients can be compared based on their HRQoL.
