Adult ADHD is a prevalent yet underdiagnosed and undertreated condition. Assessment of ADHD is critical to understanding and managing ADHD comprehensively.Method:Scholarly articles on adult ADHD between 1996 and 2022 were reviewed using the PRISMA guidelines. ADHD rating scales with multiple citations were selected and their psychometric properties and symptom coverage were analyzed.Results:Ten rating scales, with sound psychometric properties, were identified. Out of those reviewed two (BADDS and BAARS-IV) load on the inattentive domain of ADHD, while the rest focus on a comprehensive assessment of ADHD. Only one scale (BARRS-IV) incorporates an assessment of functional impairment. Some scales though widely utilized have not been adequately examined for their sensitivity.Conclusions:Rating scales are reliable and valid, in the assessment of adult ADHD. We present a review of recent scales, with an expanded focus, to help clinicians make informed decisions on diagnosis, identifying targets and planning interventions accordingly.

评估成人 ADHD：成人注意力缺陷多动障碍 (ADHD) 评定量表的最新回顾

成人多动症是一种普遍存在但诊断和治疗不足的疾病。ADHD 的评估对于全面理解和管理 ADHD 至关重要。方法：使用 PRISMA 指南对 1996 年至 2022 年有关成人 ADHD 的学术文章进行回顾。选择被多次引用的ADHD评定量表，对其心理测量特性和症状覆盖率进行分析。结果：确定了10个具有良好心理测量特性的评定量表。在所审查的两项（BADDS 和 BAARS-IV）中，重点关注 ADHD 的注意力不集中领域，而其余的则侧重于 ADHD 的综合评估。只有一种量表（BARRS-IV）纳入了功能障碍评估。一些量表虽然被广泛使用，但其敏感性尚未得到充分检验。结论：评定量表在成人多动症的评估中是可靠和有效的。我们对最近的量表进行了回顾，并扩大了关注范围，以帮助临床医生在诊断、确定目标和相应规划干预措施方面做出明智的决定。
