SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON QUESTIONNAIRES REPORTING BOWEL FUNCTION AND HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE

Abstract

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.
