Objective: This study examined the full spectrum of comorbid disorders in all statutory-health-insured children aged 5 to 14 years with ADHD in 2017 by using nationwide claims data in Germany. Method: Children with ADHD (n = 258,662) were compared for the presence of 864 comorbid diseases with a control group matched by gender, age, and region of residence (n = 2,327,958). Results: Among others, metabolic disorders (odds ratio [OR] = 9.18; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [8.43, 9.99]), viral pneumonia (OR = 4.95; 95% CI = [2.37, 10.33]), disorders of white blood cells (OR = 4.55; 95% CI = [3.83, 5.40]), kidney failure (OR = 3.33; 95% CI = [2.65, 4.18]), hypertension (OR = 3.26; 95% CI = [3.00, 3.55]), obesity (OR = 2.85; 95% CI = [2.80, 2.91]), type 2 diabetes (OR = 2.61; 95% CI = [2.11, 3.23]), migraine (OR = 2.49; 95% CI = [2.37, 2.61]), asthma (OR = 2.19; 95% CI = [2.16, 2.22]), atopic dermatitis (OR = 2.10; 95% CI = [2.16, 2.23]), juvenile arthritis (OR = 1.56; 95% CI = [1.39, 1.76]), glaucoma (OR = 1.51; 95% CI = [1.30, 1.75]), and type 1 diabetes (OR = 1.30; 95% CI = [1.20, 1.40]) were more likely to be diagnosed in ADHD children. Conclusion: Along with psychiatric diseases, various somatic diseases were more common in ADHD children. The results have direct implications for patient care, including fine-grained diagnostics and personalized therapy.
