Abstract | Aims: The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of paediatric patients with orthopaedic conditions and spinal deformity is important, but existing generic tools have their shortcomings. We aim to evaluate the use of Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 generic core scales in the paediatric population with specific comparisons between those with spinal and limb pathologies, and to explore the feasibility of using PedsQL for studying scoliosis patients’ HRQoL. Methods: Paediatric patients attending a speciality outpatient clinic were recruited through consecutive sampling. Two groups of patients were included: idiopathic scoliosis, and paediatric orthopaedic upper and lower limb condition without scoliosis. Patients were asked to complete PedsQL 4.0 generic core scales, Youth version of 5-level EuroQol-5-dimension questionnaire, and Refined Scoliosis Research Society 22-item (SRS-22r) questionnaire. Statistical analyses included scores comparison between scoliosis and limb pathology patients using independent-samples t-test, and correlation tests of PedsQL and SRS-22r. Results: A total of 566 paediatric patients were recruited: 357 (63.0%) having idiopathic scoliosis, and 209 (37.0%) with limb conditions. Patients with limb pathology had lower functioning scale, summary, and total scores of PedsQL than scoliosis patients (p < 0.05 to p < 0.001). No floor or ceiling effects (< 15%) were detected for PedsQL Psychosocial Health Summary and total scores in both groups. PedsQL was sensitive in differentiating patients with/without problems in their daily lives (p < 0.05 to p < 0.01). PedsQL summary and total scores correlated with SRS-22r total score. Conclusion: PedsQL is an effective HRQoL measure for both paediatric orthopaedic groups with minimal ceiling and floor effects, and is capable of detecting worse HRQoL in patients with limb pathology. The multidimensional PedsQL is sensitive in differentiating among those with daily life problems, especially for scoliosis patients. |
