What's new — ADHD

Generated 2026-11-01 from the publication dates of every paper cited in this condition's pages.

This page answers a different question from the curation log. The log says when we last edited a page; this says how recent the evidence on those pages is — so you can tell settled ground from a field that is actively moving, and jump straight to what has emerged lately.

How much of this condition's evidence is recent

Published within Cited papers
last week 0
last month 4
last 2 months 17
last 3 months 26
last 6 months 36
last year 66
older than a year 415

Counts are cumulative: a paper from last week also counts inside "last month". Dates are PubMed publication or e-publication dates, so a paper may have appeared online before its journal issue.
