Abstract

The present cross-sectional study compared efficacy between two quality-of-life questionnaires for cochlear implanted children: CIQOL-10 Global and PEACH. Forty cochlear implanted children, aged 18 months to 15 years, were included over a 3-month period. Children not wearing the implant, from non-French-speaking families, with psychomotor retardation or neurologic deficit were excluded. Ease of filling out the questionnaires and their relevance were assessed on Visual Analog Scales. The aim was to select the questionnaire better adapted to an implanted pediatric population. PEACH scored significantly better than CIQOL for ease of use and relevance, particularly for under-6 year-olds. On average, 3 of the 10 CIQOL questions went unanswered for children aged ≤ 6 years, versus just 1 out of 13 for PEACH. PEACH, being easier to answer and more relevant, particularly for younger children, can optimize follow-up of cochlear implanted children.

人工耳蜗植入儿童两种生活质量问卷的比较。

本横断面研究比较了两种人工耳蜗植入儿童生活质量问卷：CIQOL-10 Global和PEACH的疗效。40名年龄在18个月到15岁之间的植入人工耳蜗的儿童，在3个月的时间里被纳入研究。不佩戴植入物的儿童，来自非法语家庭，有精神运动迟缓或神经缺陷的儿童被排除在外。用视觉模拟量表评估问卷填写的难易程度及其相关性。目的是选择更适合植入儿童人群的问卷。PEACH在易用性和相关性方面的得分明显优于CIQOL，特别是对于6岁以下的儿童。平均而言，≤6岁儿童的10个CIQOL问题中有3个没有回答，而PEACH的13个问题中只有1个没有回答。PEACH更容易回答，相关性更强，特别是对于年龄较小的儿童，可以优化人工耳蜗植入儿童的随访。

期刊介绍： European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community. French language teams must submit their articles in French to the AFORL site.
