Quality of Life in the Danish Fontan Population is Unchanged Over the Past Decade-A Nationwide Longitudinal Study
© 2023. The Author(s)..
Knowledge about health-related quality of life (HRQoL) over time in Fontan patients is sparse. We aimed to describe HRQoL over a ten-year period in a population-based Fontan cohort. Further, we compared HRQoL in Fontan patients with the general population. In 2011, Danish Fontan patients were invited to participate in a nationwide study assessing HRQoL. Depending on age, 152 participants filled out either the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory or the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey. After a decade, patients from the initial study were invited to participate in a follow-up study. All were given the same questionnaire as in the first study, plus the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) as part of the Danish National Health Survey. HRQoL over time was described, and SF-12 scores were compared with the general population. A total of 109 Fontan patients completed the questionnaires in both studies. The mean patient age was 14.9 ± 6.6 years and 25.6 ± 6.5 years respectively. Despite an increase in complications, HRQoL did not decrease during the study period. Physical HRQoL scores were lower than mental HRQoL scores at both time points. The SF-12 physical component score was significantly lower in Fontan patients than in the general population (median score 52 vs. 56, p < 0.001), while the SF-12 mental component score was comparable (median score 51 vs. 50, p = 0.019). HRQoL remained stable over a ten-year period in a contemporary Danish Fontan cohort. Still, the physical HRQoL remained significantly lower than that of the general population.
