Quality of Life Among Down Syndrome Patients With and Without Congenital Heart Disease at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Copyright © 2023, Alhaddad et al..
Background Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are common in Down syndrome patients who will often have additional anomalies, in which the presence of them and their management are expected to impact their quality of life (QoL). There are limited studies trying to evaluate the impact of CHD on the QoL in children with Down syndrome. Methods The present study comprised 97 Down syndrome children. The children's parents responded to phone interviews filling out TNO-AZL (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research Academic Medical Centre) Preschool Quality of Life (TAPQOL) and TNO-AZL Child Quality of Life Parent Form (TACQOL-PF) questionnaires. Children were divided into two groups according to their age: group A (one to five years) and group B (six to 15 years). The results were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results CHD negatively affected motor skills in younger but not older children. All other QoL-related parameters were unaffected by CHD. Conclusion Down syndrome children with CHD demonstrated similar QoL to Down syndrome children without CHD, with the exception of having a lower motor outcome as infants/toddlers. This difference improved with time and did not exist in older children.
