Topic overview
Impaired bowel function and reduced health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) are common after surgery for Hirschsprung disease (HD). There is yet no agreement on how to report these outcomes. This systematic review aims to describe which questionnaires, their properties, and how frequently they are used to report outcomes. Based on this, we recommend questionnaires to be used in future studies.
