The association between functional status and health-related quality of life following discharge from the pediatric intensive care unit.
This study investigated the association between new functional impairments, measured by the Functional Status Scale (FSS), and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in pediatric patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) after critical care. This secondary analysis was conducted using children aged 2 months to 18 years with ABI. Complete data were analyzed for 195 children, including 127 with traumatic brain injury. New functional impairment was common with 32 patients experiencing FSS ≥ 3, 50 (26%) patients with FSS increases of 1-2 points, and 113 (58%) patients with no change from prehospital baseline. The majority of children (63%) demonstrated HRQOL ratings ≥ 1 standard deviation below healthy age-based standards.
