Abstract
Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the curative option for some diseases and is increasing patient survival. The health-related quality of life in these patients is not systematically evaluated. Objectives: The present study sought to describe the health-related quality of life and complications in children who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on pediatric transplanted survivors. Health-related quality of life was measured using the KIDSCREEN-27 scale and Short Form-12 (SF-12) in patients between 8 and 14 years of age and those over 14 years, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA 12 software. We used the Rasch model person parameter estimates translated into T-values to score the questionnaire. Results: 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.
