Quality of life of families and siblings of children with cerebral palsy treated at a reference neurorehabilitation center in Brazil < sup > < /sup >

CONCLUSIONS: The cross-sectional nature of these data precludes any statement of causality. Family QoL worsened with higher caregivers' burden levels. Lower caregivers' burden scores were associated with a higher family QoL. Siblings' QoL was impaired as compared to typically developed peers, worse among older siblings, and as caregivers' burden increased and better with higher family QoL levels. Future multicenter studies may validate the generalizability of the present findings.PMID:38663449 | DOI:10.1016/j.jped.2024.03.010
