In the present study we wanted to explore the association between adult delinquency and several different childhood diagnoses in an in-patient population. Of special interest was the impact of disturbance of activity and attention ADHD and mixed disorder of conduct and emotions on later delinquency as these disorders have been variously associated with delinquent development. Methods Former Norwegian child psychiatric in-patients n 541 were followed up 19-41 years after hospitalization by record linkage to the National Register of Criminality. On the basis of the hospital records the patients were re-diagnosed according to ICD-10. The association between diagnoses and other baseline factors and later delinquency were investigated using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results At follow-up 24 of the participants had been convicted of criminal activity. In the multivariate Cox regression analysis conduct disorder RR 95 CI and hyperkinetic conduct disorder RR 95 CI significantly increased the risk of future criminal behaviour. Pervasive developmental disorder RR 95 CI and mental retardation RR 95 CI reduced the risk for a criminal act. Male gender RR 95 CI and chronic family difficulties RR 95 CI both predicted future criminality. Conclusions Conduct disorder in childhood was highly associated with later delinquency both alone or in combination with hyperactivity but less associated when .
