Key facts

ADHD hyperactive symptoms mean score percent difference [Calculated]
ADHD hyperactive symptoms mean score difference
This term represents the percent change in the mean ADHD hyperactive symptoms score over time. It was created for, but is not limited in use to, the NCQA "ADHDSymptom Reduction in Follow-up Period" eMeasure (eMeasure ID 400). Based on the calculation method as defined in the eMeasure, positive percent change over time indicates a decrease in symptoms, and negative percent change indicates an increase in symptoms. The percent difference is calculated as follows: 1) Subtract the mean hyperactive score at follow-up from the mean score at baseline; 2) Divide the result of the first step by the mean hyperactive score at baseline; and 3) Multiply the result of the second step by 100 to get the percent change.
