ADHD diagnosis and ADHD trait are associated with risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Both patients with ADHD and their unaffected siblings were more likely to develop TBI during the follow-up compared with the control group. TBI requiring hospitalization occurred more in the sibling group than in the proband group. TBI risk should be closely monitored among unaffected siblings of patients with ADHD.
