Abstract
PURPOSE To assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its influencing factors in these pediatric patients undergoing parotidectomy. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study that included 37 children and adolescents (≤ 19 years) with parotid gland tumors who were treated in Sichuan Cancer Hospital between January 2006 and November 2021. HRQoL was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). The Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to analyze the factors influencing patients' HRQoL. RESULTS 37 children and adolescents were included in the study, including 22 cases of benign tumors and 15 cases of malignant tumors. All patients underwent surgery, and some patients with malignant tumors received radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Malignancy, permanent facial palsy, and Frey syndrome were associated with worse HRQoL in children and adolescents with parotid gland tumors. Radiotherapy and no cervical lymph node dissection were associated with worse HRQoL in pediatric patients with malignancy. The surgical approach of parotid is not a factor influencing HRQoL. CONCLUSION Factors associated with HRQoL in children and adolescents with parotid gland tumors include pathological types, permanent facial palsy, and Frey syndrome. In addition, factors affecting patients with malignancy include lateral lymph node dissection and radiotherapy.
