چکیده انگلیسی

Purpose of studyDisturbances in breathing or feeding may profoundly affect parental perceptions of a newborn's health. Previous research into quality of life for patients with laryngomalacia is limited to retrospective analysis. The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the quality of life of families of infants with laryngomalacia and the impact of surgical and non-surgical treatments.Design and methodPilot prospective analysis using the laryngomalacia quality of life (QOL) survey in families of infants with newly diagnosed laryngomalacia under age one year. A 29-question survey regarding severity of symptoms related to overall health, airway, and swallowing is completed at initial and post-treatment visits. Responses are quantified over a range from 1 to 5 (1 never to 5 always).ResultsTwenty-six families were enrolled in the study. Eleven patients were managed medically and fifteen underwent supraglottoplasty. The overall mean QOL score for patients treated medically was 2.57 (standard error, SE 0.16) on initial visit and 1.67 (SE 0.16) post-treatment (mean 3.9 months). Patients undergoing supraglottoplasty had an overall mean QOL score of 3.59 (SE 0.14) on initial visit and 2.22 (SE 0.22) post-treatment (mean 3.5 months). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc testing revealed significant improvement between initial and follow-up visits in both treatment groups (p < 0.01). Patients who underwent supraglottoplasty had significantly higher scores at initial visit (p < 0.01). No statistically significant difference was noted between patient groups post-treatment (p > 0.05).ConclusionsProspective QOL assessment of children with laryngomalacia and their families reveals a significant burden of disease. Quality of life improves in all patients but may improve more significantly in patients managed surgically.
