Abstract:
Objective: The objective of the study is to predict the early changes in electroencephalography (EEG) at 1 week and its correlation to clinical response at 6 weeks after treatment with atomoxetine in children with ADHD. Method: In 50 children (6-14 years) with ADHD (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [5th ed.; DSM-5]), Vanderbilt ADHD Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS) and Vanderbilt ADHD Teachers Rating Scale (VADTRS) were applied at baseline, 1, 4, and 6 weeks. EEG was recorded using International 10-20 System of electrode placement at baseline and at 1 week after atomoxetine treatment. EEG changes at 1 week after atomoxetine therapy was correlated to clinical response at 6 weeks. Results: Patients were classified as responders or nonresponders based on the VADPRS/VADTRS findings. After 1 week of treatment, responders' theta cordance values were decreased, whereas nonresponders' values didn't decrease significantly. Conclusion: Patients with decreased theta cordance values, especially in the left temporoparietal region, at 1 week were likely to respond to atomoxetine while those without any such change were likely to be nonresponders.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
