“The results of this meta-analysis suggested no statistically significant association between ADHD medication use and the risk of any cardiovascular events across age groups, although a modest risk increase could not be excluded, especially for the risk of cardiac arrest or tachyarrhythmias,”
So, there is a risk for now? Or the risk of a risk?
- xhrpost 4y agoYea that seems rather confusing. Is "modest" different than "significant"?
- curiousllama 4y agoThe smaller the effect, the harder it is to find. Basically, they're saying "we took a look, and saw nothing bad. Therefore, either (1) these medications don't increase risk of cardiovascular disease or (2) they do, but only slightly (the risk increase was too small for us to find.)"
- lukas099 4y agoOf course there is a risk.
