HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN SURVIVORS OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY ILLNESS WHO REQUIRED INVASIVE RESPIRATORY SUPPORT IN A TERTIARY PAEDIATRIC ICU - PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
Abstract
Background
Unlike in adults, many children surviving intensive care have the prospect of a full life with good quality. There is paucity of studies in assessing quality of life after discharge in children with acute respiratory illness . Hence the study.
Objectives
To assess long term health related quality of life in all PICU survivors with acute respiratory illness requiring invasive respiratory support, three to eight years after discharge
Methods
Premorbid well children who were ventilated for more than 48 hours for respiratory illness and survived were included. Quality of life assessment was done with the help of the Health Utility Index 2 which has 6 domains; sensation, mobility, emotion, cognition, self care and pain. Objective assessment was done by using HUI2 index. Outcome is classified as NORMAL(Score>0.99), FAIR( 0.89-0.99) and POOR (Score<0.89).
Results
146 children survived among the 259 required ventilation for > 48 hours. Six children died after discharge to hospital . HUI2 questionnaire details were obtained either through personal interview(n=24) or by telephonic interview (n=42).
HUI2 assessment was done for 66 children (Mean age 7.8± 2.6 years). Mean HUI2 score was 0.94±0.062. Majority of children are having good quality of life(84%) . Of 66, one child was having learning disability and was affected badly in 4 domains(Score of 0.69)
Most common affected domain is ‘Cognition’ followed by 'Emotion' and 'Sensation'. In the ‘Pain’ domain, only 7 (11%) out of 66 has occasional pain and discomfort.
Conclusion
Majority of PICU survivors(84%) have a good long term Quality of life (HUI mean score 0.94+/0.06).
