Abstract
Purpose: The aim was to determine gastrointestinal (GI)-related QoL in children born with gastroschisis (GS).
Methods: Totally, 58/83 families of children (aged 2-18 years) operated for GS at a tertiary pediatric surgical center accepted participation. Children aged 5-18 and one parent (child aged 2-18) completed the Swedish version of the PedsQL™ gastrointestinal symptoms module, evaluating GI-related QoL with 14 different GI-specific scales, norm values for Hirschsprung's disease (HD), esophageal atresia (EA), and functional constipation (FC) that were used for comparison.
Results: Children with GS had significantly lower parent-reported scores on "Gas and bloating" compared with children with EA (77.0 vs 85.5, p = 0.039). In the child report and in the parent report, scores on several GI scales were like those of children with EA. Parents of children with GS had higher scores for 8/14 scales compared to HD and higher scores for 12/14 scales compared to FC. Clinical GS-specific factors for worse GI-QoL were identified, including "Days in ventilator" and "Days with Silo and Patch".
Conclusions: GS has an impact on GI-related QoL, comparable to that in EA, but not to HD or FC. The GS-specific factors of worse QoL show the importance regarding a GS follow-up program including considering clinical factors.
目的:探讨先天性胃裂(GS)患儿的胃肠道相关生活质量。方法:在某三级儿科外科中心接受GS手术的58/83个家庭(2-18岁)接受调查。5-18岁的儿童和一位家长(2-18岁的儿童)完成了瑞典版的PedsQL™胃肠道症状模块,用14种不同的gi特异性量表评估gi相关的生活质量,用于比较的Hirschsprung病(HD)、食管闭锁(EA)和功能性便秘(FC)的标准值。结果:与EA患儿相比,GS患儿家长报告的“气胀”得分明显低于EA患儿(77.0 vs 85.5, p = 0.039)。在儿童报告和家长报告中,几个GI量表的得分与EA儿童的得分相似。GS儿童的父母在8/14量表上的得分高于HD,在12/14量表上的得分高于FC。确定了GI-QoL恶化的临床gs特异性因素,包括“使用呼吸机的天数”和“使用筒仓和贴片的天数”。结论:GS对gi相关生活质量的影响与EA相当,但与HD或FC无关。生活质量差的GS特异性因素显示了GS随访计划的重要性,包括考虑临床因素。
