Abstract
Children with constipation have lower HRQoL scores than controls in physical, social, emotional, and school functioning. They also have a wide range of somatic symptoms. These issues need to be addressed during clinical evaluation of children with constipation to understand the impact of the disease on the life of affected children and to provide optimal care.
