However, many thousands were thought to be affected, although not to a degree justifying compensation based on the existing case criteria.
The inclusion of cases irrespective of whether or not they had the same first-listed external cause codes as the preceding fall-related hip fracture (S7) resulted in accuracy estimates being identical or near identical to those in the base case, suggesting that this criterion was not a key driver of accuracy.
After a full-text review, seven studies on cost of ADHD in children and adolescents met full inclusion criteria for base-case analysis [ 5, 8, 16, 35, 49, 55, 58] and two studies were retained for sensitivity analysis [ 26, 43].
