Quality of Life at a 10-Year Follow-Up of Children Born Preterm with Post-Hemorrhagic Ventricular Dilatation: A Cohort Study

CONCLUSION: Children who survive to 10 years of age after PHVD have on average lower HRQoL than their peers. However, the reported range is wide, with a quarter of the children having scores above 0.87 (similar to population norms), while a fifth have very low HRQol scores. Impact was not uniform across domains, with mobility/ambulation a concern across both measures.PMID:37678198 | DOI:10.1159/000533355
