Impacto de la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud en pacientes pediátricos con trasplante de progenitores hematopoyéticos en una institución colombiana / Impact of health-related quality of life on pediatric patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a Colombian institution
A total of 42 children answered the questionnaires. The most frequent adverse events were chronic graft Vs. host disease and endocrine complications. According to European norm data in the KIDSCREEN-12 scale, scores for the school dimension and social and peer support were below the 50th. percentile. The group administered immunosuppressants had lower scores on the physical component of the SF-12™ scale.
Conclusions:
In general, the KIDSCREEN-27 does appear to suggest some quality-of-life deficit in younger children. The scales showed reliability in this population.
