| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Scales, a multidimensional self-report instrument that has been shown to be valid and reliable for use in children and adolescents with chronic illness, consists of 23 items that assess physical, emotional, social, and school functioning. Questionnaires were administered to 124 children and adolescents (ages 8 to 18 years, child self-report) with SCD (100 sickle cell anemia, 24 sickle ß zero thalassemia) and their parents (parent-proxy report). Summary scores for children's and parents' ratings of overall HRQOL and psychosocial health and subscale scores for physical, emotional, social, and school functioning were compared with published data for healthy children. Both summary and subscale scores for children with SCD also were compared with those of their parents. RESULTS: Children with SCD and their parents rated overall HRQOL and all subdomains of HRQOL lower than did healthy children and their parents (P < .001). Children with SCD rated their own HRQOL significantly better than their parents did for overall HRQOL and all subdomains (P < .001) except emotional functioning (P = .06). CONCLUSIONS: Children with SCD and their parents perceived overall HRQOL and all HRQOL subdomains to be lower than scores reported in healthy children. Therefore, successful therapeutic efforts to improve HRQOL could represent important advances in the health of children with SCD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
