Abstract: Objective To investigate health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in pediatric patients with functional single ventricle (FSV), and to compare HRQOL between children with FSV and healthy pediatric population. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted to recruit 113 pediatric patients with FSV aged 2 to 18 years and their parents from 2002 to 2018 in Shanghai Children's Medical Center.Patients and their parents completed the Chinese version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 generic core scales and 3.0 cardiac module.Independent t-test was used to compare generic PedsQL scores between patients with FSV and healthy population.Generic PedsQL scores for parent proxy-report by age group were compared by ANOVA.Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare HRQOL by age group in the cardiac module. Results By self-report and parent proxy-report, generic PedsQL scores for patients with FSV were significantly lower than healthy population in the total scores, physical, psychosocial, emotional, social and school domains (self-report:t=6.823, 7.850, 5.825, 4.260, 4.817, 7.621; parent proxy-report:t=7.641, 8.589, 6.459, 5.823, 6.206, 7.381, P＜0.05).The PedsQL scores in preschool patients with FSV were significantly lower (F=4.090, P＜0.05).In the cardiac module, patients ≥8 years old reported lower scores for physical appearance (H=8.812, P＜0.05).Self-report and parent proxy-report PedsQL scores for treatment anxiety were significantly lower in patients ≤ 8 years old (H=6.045, 14.702, P＜0.05). Conclusions Overall, pediatric patients with FSV perceive poorer quality of life than healthy population.Assessment and interventions on pediatric patients' HRQOL are needed.
