Abstract
PH takes a major toll on children and their families. Decreased QoL among youth with PH was significantly associated with high levels of parental stress, over and above the effect of illness severity. These findings suggest that interventions to better support the caretakers of affected children and adolescents should accompany medical treatment advances so as to improve QoL for patients facing pediatric PH.
