Health-related quality of life in pediatric inherited cardiac disease: The QUALIMYORYTHM multicenter cross-sectional controlled study
Introduction
Medical advances in the management of children with inherited cardiac disease have shifted the focus from mortality to life-long morbidity, with a stronger attention on patient-reported outcomes. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been increasingly used as a primary outcome in cross-sectional or randomized controlled trials in CHD, however no consistent controlled data is available in children with inherited cardiac arrhythmia or cardiomyopathy. The QUALIMYORYTHM trial aimed to evaluate HRQoL in cohort of children with inherited cardiac disease, in comparison with healthy controls, and to determine their predictors of HRQoL.
Method
Children aged–6-17 years, diagnosed with inherited cardiac arrhythmia (long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia) or inherited cardiomyopathy (hypertrophic, dilated, restrictive, or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy), and healthy age- and gender-matched controls were prospectively recruited in 7 pediatric tertiary care centers in France. HRQoL was assessed using the self and proxy PedsQL questionnaires. Clinical data, physical activity (accelerometer) and cardiorespiratory fitness (cardiopulmonary exercise testing) were assessed (NCT04712136).
Results
A total of 210 children were included (103 patients, mean age 12.7 ± 3.13 years and 107 controls). HRQoL in children with inherited cardiac disease was good, overall, but remained significantly lower than healthy controls in self-reported (78.8 ± 13.3 vs. 82.1 ± 9.6, P = 0.04) and proxy-reported (75.1 ± 15.7 vs. 78.9 ± 15.2, P = 0.05) total scores. HRQoL was not significantly different in disease subgroups. In multivariate analysis, predictors of better HRQoL included higher resting heart rate, postnatal diagnosis, better cardiopulmonary fitness, lower controlled motivation score, and normal school status.
Conclusion
Currently, HRQoL in children with inherited cardiac disease is good, but significantly lower than healthy peers, and influenced by clinical, functional, and sociodemographic factors. These findings highlight the need for multidisciplinary interventions focusing on physical fitness, psychosocial support, and educational stability to improve their long-term patient-reported outcomes.
