Objective: To characterize pediatric patients between 5 to 16 years old with a diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) treated at a healthcare institution in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia between 2017 to 2020. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted on pediatric patients who consulted at an institution in Barranquilla (Alt, Co). Medical records were reviewed, and selected data were tabulated in a registration matrix for subsequent analysis in R Software, with descriptive statistics and graphical representation. Results: A total of 606 patients were included, with an average age of 7.9 years +/- 2.5. 78% of the patients were male. Patients between 6-7 years old were the most represented group (51%). It was identified that 11% of the patients were preterm newborns. 51% of the patients had some type of comorbidity. The most frequent subtype of ADHD found was the hyperactive subtype (53%), followed by the mixed subtype (18%) and combined subtype (17%). Out of 480 of 606 patients, psychpedagogical therapy was the only management measure received. Conclusion: A similar pattern was found to that reported in national and international literature regarding age, gender, and related risk factors. In terms of subtypes, a different distribution was observed, with the hyperactive subtype predominating. The most used therapeutic measure was psychopedagogical therapy.
