abstract="The relationship between ADHD and suicidal spectrum behaviors (SSBs) remains uncertain. We conducted the first meta-analysis on the association between ADHD and SSBs taking possible confounders into account. Based on a pre-registered protocol (PROSPERO-CRD42018093003), we searched Pubmed, Ovid and Web of Knowledge databases through April 6<sup>th</sup>, 2018, with no language/publication type restrictions, and contacted study authors for unpublished data/information. From a pool of 2,798 references, we retained 57 studies. Random-effects models were performed. Study quality was rated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. After pooling crude ORs, we found a significant association between ADHD and suicidal attempts (2.37, 95% CI = 1.64 to 3.43; I<sup>2</sup> = 98.21), suicidal ideations (3.53, 2.94 to 4.25; I<sup>2</sup> = 73.73), suicidal plans (4.54, 2.46 to 8.37; I<sup>2</sup> = 0), and completed suicide (6.69, 3.24 to 17.39; I<sup>2</sup> = 87.53). <br><br>RESULTS did not substantially change when pooling adjusted ORs. <br><br>FINDINGS were also in general robust to sensitivity analyses to assess possible moderators. Awareness of the association between ADHD and SSBs should contribute to more effectively prevent SSBs.<br><br>Copyright © 2019. Published by Elsevier Ltd.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
