Abstract:

Objective

To systematically review and meta-analyze the evaluation reports of health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) in pediatric liver transplant recipients at home and abroad,and to explore the influencing factors of HR-QOL in pediatric liver transplant recipients.

Methods

A systematic search of domestic and foreign medical professional databases from January 2016 to February 2023 was performed to include studies related to HR-QOL assessment in pediatric liver transplant recipients. To summarize the scores of the pediatric quality of life inventory 4.0 generic core scales(PedsQL4.0) and the pediatric quality of life inventory 3.0 transplant module (PedsQL3.0TM),summarize the influencing factors of HR-QOL, and perform a meta-analysis to compare the differences in scores between different respondents and different scales. Continuous variables were introduced and standardized mean difference (SMD) were used as effect statistics, and point estimates and 95%confidence intervals (CI) were given.

Results

A total of 19 studies were included. Fifteen studies used PedsQL4.0 with a total score of 55 to 88.1 points. Nine studies used PedsQL3.0TM with a total score of 64.9 to 91 points. Disease factors, fatigue, and sleep are identified as predictors for HR-QOL in pediatric liver transplant recipients. Meta-analysis results indicated that parent-reported scores using the PedsQL4.0 were significantly lower than child self-reports (SMD=-0.18, 95%CI:-0.31 to -0.04, P<0.05), there was no significant difference in scores between child self-reports and parent reports using the PedsQL3.0TM (SMD=0.03, 95%CI:-0.15 to 0.20, P>0.05), and the PedsQL 3.0TM scores were significantly higher than those obtained with the PedsQL 4.0 scale (SMD=0.35, 95%CI:0.18 to 0.53, P<0.05).

Conclusions

There are some problems in the quality of life evaluation of pediatric liver transplantation, such as small quantity, poor quality and heterogeneity. The HR-QOL of pediatric liver transplantation recipients is affected by many factors. here are differences between parent and child reports of PedsQL4.0. Better consistency can be obtained by using PedsQL3.0TM.
