Introducción. El trastorno por déficit de atención/hiperactividad (TDAH) produce alteraciones conductuales y neuropsicológicas. Objetivo. Comparar las habilidades conductuales y neuropsicológicas de niños de ambos sexos de 6 a 11años con diagnóstico de TDAH, con un grupo control. Sujetos y métodos. De 1.200 escolares, a cuyos padres y maestros se les aplicó un cuestionario breve para rastreo de TDAH, se seleccionaron 112 participantes, a los cuales se les realizó una entrevista clínica psicológica y un examen neurológico, para asignarlos a tres grupos: TDAH tipo combinado, TDAH inatentoy grupo control. Para evaluar la conducta se aplicaron las escalas de Conners y el cuestionario multidimen-sional de la conducta. Para las capacidades cognitivas se aplicó una batería neuropsicológica de atención, memoria, habilidades visuomotoras, verbales y función ejecutiva. Se compararon los grupos con un análisis univariado de varianza no paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis. Para los pares de grupos se usó la U de Mann-Whitney. Resultados. Las escalas de la conducta mostraronmayores alteraciones en los grupos de casos, con más problemas en el grupo de TDAH combinado. Neuropsicológi-camente, se observaron ejecuciones significativamente inferiores en los grupos de TDAH en pruebas de atención sostenida, funciones ejecutivas, fluidez fonológica y semántica. Conclusiones. Las alteraciones conductuales son las más evidentes en el TDAH. Se encontraron alteraciones neuropsicológicas similares a las informadas por otros estudios hechos en Colombia
Introduction. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) gives rise to behavioural and neuropsychologicalalterations. Aims. The purpose of this study is to compare the behavioural and neuropsychological skills of 6 to 11-year-old children of both sexes, who have been diagnosed with ADHD, with that of a control group. Subjects and methods. From a total of 1200 schoolchildren, whose parents and teachers answered a brief ADHD screening survey, we selected 112 participantswho were then submitted to a psychological clinical interview and a neurological examination in order to assign them to one of three groups: combined-type ADHD, inattentive ADHD and a control group. Behaviour was assessed by applying the Conners Rating Scales and the multidimensional behaviour survey. Cognitive capacities were assessed by applying a neuropsychological battery for attention, memory, visuomotor and verbal skills, and executive functions. Groups were compared by means of a Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric univariate analysis of variance. In the case of pairs of groups, theMann-Whitney U test was employed. Results. The behavioural scales showed greater alterations in the case groups, with moreproblems in the combined-type ADHD group. Neuropsychologically, significantly lower performances were observed in the ADHD groups in sustained attention, executive function, semantic and phonological fluency tests. Conclusions. Behavioural disorders are the most apparent in ADHD. The neuropsychological alterations that were found were similar to those reported in other studies conducted in Colombia
