Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common mental disorder associated with factors that are likely to increase mortality, such as oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder, criminality, accidents, and substance misuse. However, whether ADHD itself is associated with increased mortality remains unknown. We aimed to assess ADHD-related mortality in a large cohort of Danish individuals.Methods By use of the Danish national registers, we followed up 1.92 million individuals, including 32 061 with ADHD, from their first birthday through to 2013. We estimated mortality rate ratios (MRRs), adjusted for calendar year, age, sex, family history of psychiatric disorders, maternal and paternal age, and parental educational and employment status, by Poisson regression, to compare individuals with and without ADHD.Findings During follow-up (24.9 million person-years), 5580 cohort members died. The mortality rate per 10 000 person-years was 5.85 among individuals with ADHD compared with 2.21 in those without (corresponding to a fully adjusted MRR of 2.07, 95% CI 1.70-2.50; p
