Secondary school grade point average was similar among children with ADEM and reference children; however, children with ADEM had increased psychiatric morbidity (hazard ratio = 2.4; 95% confidence interval = 1.2-5.1; p = 0.02), primarily due to increased drug prescriptions for sleep problems and depression.CONCLUSION: Children with prior ADEM have increased sleep problems and possibly also depression; however, school performance is seemingly unaffected.
