Poisson regression models in the combined sample tested ADHD and comorbid disorders as simultaneous predictors of DESR scores. The study reports "a significant effect of both ADHD and all lifetime comorbid disorders, except bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and alcohol dependence."

"When we included past comorbid disorders and ADHD as predictors of DESR in the same regression model, we found a significant effect of both ADHD and all lifetime comorbid disorders, except bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and alcohol dependence."
