5 Introduction Neurosurgical care of the pediatric population subverts mortality from once fatal disease states into morbidity of heterogeneous disease. Little data has been collected on quality of life (QoL) benefits related to neurosurgical conditions from the parent and child perspectives. Identifying trends in QoL parameters will facilitate future counseling and may mold offered therapies.
6 Methods This is a descriptive study using the Pediatric Quality of Life indicator survey (PedsQL), a validated survey capturing self-reported satisfaction in pediatric patients suffering from chronic conditions Over 24 months we collected over 1400 surveys in 890 encounters from pediatric patients and parents Physical Emotional Social School Psychosocial Diagnoses of Chiari I malformation and tethered cord syndrome Parent and Child Operated and non-operated cases Significance was computed with Student t-tests
7 Methods Objectives: understand how the PedsQoL metric applies to diagnoses.
8 Methods Surveys for most prevalent diagnosis include epilepsy represented 64% of the data, Chiari malformation represented 22%, and tethered cord 13%. Non-operative groups had roughly 3% higher total averages than operative patients did across all diagnoses. Highest average postoperative subcategory Epilepsy for emotional function, 71% Chiari malformation for social function, 80% Tethered cord for emotional function, 77%

16 Results Pediatric patients with Chiari I malformation did not differ significantly in PedsQL responses from parents for any of the 5 satisfaction scores, independent of whether they received a suboccipital decompression. Postoperative pediatric patients with TCS had significantly higher School average responses than the nonoperative cohort [69%, 47%; 0.011]. Parents of TCS post-operative patients scored their children lower on Social [69%, 82%; 0.033] and Psychosocial [72%, 81%; 0.059] areas than nonoperative cohort.
17 Discussion There are differences among operated and nonoperated patient s and parent s responses for TCS. There are no differences in the PedsQL for patients with Chiari I malformation. QoL parameters in neurosurgical conditions are largely unmeasured. The PedsQL is a validated tool to evaluate how satisfied pediatric patients and parents of those patients are following neurosurgical care.
18 Limitations Small individual data size. Heterogeneous diagnoses (e.g. Epilepsy) Operation variability for operated patients.
19 Summary The PedsQoL provides validated metrics for subjective assessment of patient satisfaction. There is little difference in the reported QoL indicators between operated and non-operated patients. Further exploration of preoperative expectations should be performed prior to surgery. xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:22:31 AM
20 Further directions Further understanding particularly of high and low scores. Further parse diagnoses and operations to reflect more homogeneous populations. Manage expectations better. xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:22:31 AM
