ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Injury is a leading contributor to the global disease burden in children, affecting their health-related quality of life (HRQoL)-yet valid estimates of burden are absent.METHODS:
This study pooled longitudinal data from five cohort studies of pediatric injury survivors (5-17 years) at baseline, 1-, 4-, 6-, 12-, and 24- months (n = 2334). HRQoL post-injury was measured using the 3-level EQ-5D utility score (EQ-5D) and five health states (mobility, self-care, activity, pain, anxiety and depression (anxiety)).RESULTS:
Mean EQ-5D post-injury did not return to baseline level (0.95) by 24 months (0.88) and was lower for females over time (-0.04, 95%CI -0.05, -0.02). A decreased adjusted risk ratio over time (ARR) was observed for intentional injuries (pain 0.85, 95%CI 0.73,0.98; anxiety 0.62, 95%CI 0.49,0.78); spinal cord injuries (mobility 0.61, 95%CI 0.45,0.83), self-care 0.76, 95%CI 0.63,0.91, activity 0.64, 95%CI 0.47,0.88); moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (activity 0.83, 95%CI 0.71,0.96). ARRs were also low for certain fractures, with various health states affected.CONCLUSIONS:
HRQoL outcomes over time for children and adolescents post-injury differed across key demographic and injury related attributes. HRQoL did not reach levels consistent with full health by 24 months with recovery plateauing from 6 to 24 months. Tailored interventions are required to respond to the varying post-injury recovery trajectories in this population.Palabras clave
