Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Ritalin LA

Arm Description

All participants started with Ritalin LA 20 mg/day and increased at weekly intervals in increments of 20 mg/day until reaching the patient's optimal dose 40, 60 or 80 mg/day).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Deaths.
Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Deaths were monitored from week 40 to week 66.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Extension Baseline (Week 40) to End of Study (Week 66) in on DSM-IV Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (DSM-IV ADHD RS) Total Score.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (DSM-IV ADHD RS) total score consists of 18 items directly adapted from the ADHD symptom list according to the DSM-IV. The DSM-IV ADHD RS total score was calculated as the sum of the Inattentive and the Hyperactive-Impulsive subscores. The 18 items are rated from 0 ("rarely or never") to 3 ("Very often"). The total score ranges from 0 to 54. Decrease in the DSM-IV ADHD RS total score indicates improvement, therefore a greater decrease (change at Final Visit compared to baseline) indicates a greater improvement in ADHD symptoms. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) applied for each patient with data in extension period. If no post-baseline is available, it is considered as missing.
Change From Extension Baseline (Week 40) to End of Study (Week 66) on Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score
SDS,5-self-rated questionnaire to measure the extent a pt's disability due to an illness/health problem interferes with work/school,social life/leisure,family life/home. First 3 items, pts are asked how their symptoms disrupted their regular activities over the past 7d in each using a scale from 0(not at all)-10(extremely) Each subscale(work disability, social life disability, family life disability)can be scored independently or combined into a total score(sum of the non-missing responses for items 1-3)from 0-30,higher scores indicate significant functional impairment. Subscale scores>5 suggest impairment in that subscale area. Final 2 items ask pts about the # of days their symptoms caused them to miss school/work and # of days their symptoms caused them to be underproductive at school/work.(These items were not included in the total score.) Before responding to SDS items 1-3, pts were verbally instructed to recall the past 7d, items 4-5 refer to the last week w/in the item wording.
