| Popis: | Diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is currently based on core symptoms or checklists; however, the inevitability of practitioner subjectivity leads to over- and underdiagnosis. Although the Federal Drug Administration has approved an elevated theta/beta ratio (TBR) of the electroencephalogram (EEG) band as a tool for assisting ADHD diagnosis, several studies have reported no significant differences of the TBR between ADHD and control subjects. This study detailed the development of a method based on approximate entropy (ApEn) analysis of EEG to compare ADHD and control groups. Differences between ADHD presentation in boys and girls indicate the necessity of separate investigations. This study enrolled 30 girls with ADHD and 30 age-matched controls. The results revealed significantly higher ApEn values in most brain areas in the control group than in the ADHD group. Compared with TBR-related feature descriptors, ApEn-related feature descriptors can produce the higher average true positive rate (0.846), average true negative rate (0.814), average accuracy (0.817), and average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value (0.862). Therefore, compared with TBR, ApEn possessed the better potential for differentiating between girls with ADHD and controls. |
