AbstractAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common psychiatric disorder in children and adolescents. Symptoms of ADHD and its treatment can impact an individual's quality of life (QoL). The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of atomoxetine treatment, demographic characteristics, and seasonal variation on QoL in children with a recent diagnosis of ADHD and their parents. The present study included a cohort of 200 children diagnosed with ADHD. In addition to the recruited children, one of their parents was included in the study. ADHD symptoms were assessed using Conners' Parent Rating Scale. QoL of the participants was assessed with the PedsQL, while parents' QoL was evaluated using the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-Bref). There was significant improvement in pediatric and parental QoL after treatment with atomoxetine. Significant factors related to better QoL in the participants included spring season, above average Conner's score, male sex, and rural residence. However, after using multivariate regression analysis, only patients' sex and Conner's score were significant predictors of pediatric QoL at the end of treatment with atomoxetine. Medical treatment significantly improved QoL in children with ADHD and their parents. Level of improvement was affected by patients' sex and ADHD severity.

Objectives: To explore the effect of breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) treatment on quality of sleep and other aspects of the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with cancer pain. Methods: In an observational, multicenter, cohort study, cancer patients from palliative care units, oncology departments, and pain clinics and affected by BTcP were included. Enrolled patients were assessed at the four visits: T0 (baseline), T7, T14, and T28. Stable chronic background pain (numeric rating scale, NRS ≤ 4) during the whole study period was mandatory. BTcP was treated through transmucosal fentanyl. Three questionnaires were used to measure the HRQoL: EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS). RESULTS: In 154 patients, the HRQoL showed a significant improvement for all physical and emotional characteristics in the EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL, except for nausea and vomiting (linear p-value = 0.1) and dyspnea (Linear p-value = 0.05). The ESAS and PSQI questionnaires confirmed these positive results (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.002, respectively). Conclusions: This prospective investigation by an Italian expert group, has confirmed that careful management of BTcP induces a paramount improvement on the HRQoL. Because in cancer patients there is a high prevalence of BTcP and this severe acute pain has deleterious consequences, this information can have an important clinical significance.

Background: The introduction of Combined Antiretroviral Therapy (cART) shifted the perception of HIV/AIDS from a fatal to a potentially manageable chronic disease. As a result, patient-perceived health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is becoming an important outcome measure among HIV infected patients. We assessed the quality of life of admitted HIV/AIDS patients and the association of socio-demographic, clinical, and psychosocial characteristics of patients with health-related quality of life. Methods: Health facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 1 to May 31, 2018 in selected tertiary care hospitals of Ethiopia. HRQoL was measured at discharge using the interviewer-administered World Health Organization’s Quality of Life HIV short-form instrument (WHOQoL-HIV BREF). Data were entered into EpiData 3.2 and exported to SPSS version 21.0 for cleaning and analysis. Descriptive analytical results were reported in text and table. Logistic regression was conducted to identify predictors of poor quality of life. Variables with p-value ≤ 0.25 in bivariate regression were considered as a candidate for multivariable regression. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors. Regression coefficients and their 95% confidence intervals together with p-value < 0.05 were used to identify independent predictor of poor QoL. Results: Majority, 56 (58.9%) of the study participants, had poor general health-related quality of life. Being unemployed (AOR: 4.1, 95% CI; (1.23, 13.64); p=0.02), lack of support from family (AOR: 3.6, 95% CI: (1.05-12.6); p=0.04), and having co-morbidity (AOR: 4.2, 95% CI: (1.08, 16.65); p=0.039) were found to be independent predictors of poor quality of life. Conclusions: The study showed that the majority of the participants had poor health-related quality of life which was affected by unemployment, co-morbidity, and social support from family.

Background: Aim of the study was to assess quality of life (QOL) of parents of epileptic child and its association with various factors like demographic, clinical, therapeutic and behavioral factors.Methods: Consenting parents of 160 epileptic children were enrolled after finishing child’s visit to the pediatrician. Parents were enquired on baseline demographic variables like age, gender, socio-economic status, parental education; clinical details like type of epilepsy, duration of seizure, seizure frequency and co-morbidity and therapeutic factors like treatment of epilepsy and adverse drug reactions. QOL was evaluated using QOLCE questionnaire and Childhood Illness-related Parenting Stress Inventory and analysed.Results: Out of 160 parents, 85% belong to 30-40 years of age and 62.5% were male. Deteriorated quality of life was reported by parents as mean score 63.46±7.69. QOL was significantly poor (p<0.05) in parents of younger child (<6 yrs), education status (upto primary school only), employment status of parent (unemployed) and lower socioeconomic status. Assessment of disease related parameters revealed that type of seizure, seizure frequency, duration and co-morbidity were factors significantly affecting quality of life of parents with lower QOL scores(p<0.05). QOL of parents of child with epilepsy undergoing polytherapy with multiple AEDs treatment, particle seizure control and having adverse drug reaction were associated with poor scores of health and well being (p<0.05). It was found that parents of epileptic child had deteriorated QOL score with respect to behaviour patterns irrespective to conditions of epilepsy due to constant stress and anxiety and poor state of mind.Conclusions: QOL of parents was compromised in Indian children with epilepsy. Demographic factors like age of child, parental education, socio-economic status and clinical factors like type of seizure, frequency & duration of seizure and co-morbid conditions significantly affect the QOL of parents. Significantly poor QOL scores was also due to therapeutic factors like treatment with polytherapy and adverse drug reactions with poor behavioral patterns which was observed in parents that should be taken care and should not be overlooked.

Abstract Objectives The present study assessed the obese adolescents’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) based on both adolescent-reported and maternal-reported questionnaires to clarify adolescent-related psychiatric factors, maternal psychiatric factors, and body mass index (BMI) percentile variables that independently affect the quality of life (QoL). Methods A total of 190 adolescents (120 females and 70 males) were included in the study. The impact of clinical and psychiatric factors on the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-Child Version (PedsQL-C) scores was analyzed using hierarchical linear regression methods. Results The final models showed that only the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Child Version major depressive disorder scores negatively predicted the physical, psychosocial, and total health scores of the PedsQL-C. The psychosocial scores of the PedsQL-P were negatively predicted by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire emotional, and Conners’ Parent Rating Scale-Revised-Short Form (CPRS-R-S) attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) index scores. The PedsQL-P total scores were negatively predicted by the CPRS-R-S ADHD index scores. Conclusions The findings of this study indicate that the adolescents’ psychiatric symptoms and BMI percentile played a significant role in the PedsQL subscale functioning of obese adolescents compared to maternal psychiatric symptoms.

Abstract Background/Aims  Previous research in axial spondyloarthropathy (axSpA) has shown this population to have a high prevalence of depression. This co-morbidity has been previously shown to impact disease activity in patients with rheumatic disease. The purpose of this study was to screen for signs of depression using two validated tools, the Patient Health Questionaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for depression (HADs-D) in axSpA patients. Methods  AxSpA patients attending the rheumatology department in St James’ Hospital between February and October 2020 were invited to take a self-administered survey which included the PHQ-9 and the HADs-D. Scores from the HADs-D yielded a numerical result which was then categorised as normal, borderline or abnormal. PHQ-9 numerical results were categorised as normal, mild, moderate, moderate/severe or severe. Patients with a known diagnosis of depression were excluded. In addition to baseline demographics, patient reported outcomes were also recorded. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 26. Continuous variables were recorded as means, categorical variables as frequencies with percentages. A one-way analysis of variance analysis (ANOVA) determined significance of variation in outcomes between patient outcomes as determined by the HADs-D and PHQ-9. A p-value of &lt; 0.05 was deemed significant. Consent was obtained prior to participation. Approval was received from the St James’/Tallaght Hospital Joint Ethics Committee. Results  In total 71 axSpA patients took part in the survey. The population was 70.4% (50) males and 29.5% (21) female, with an average age 47.9 years and mean disease duration 19.7 years (mean outcomes: BASDAI 4.08, BASFI 3.62, BASMI 3.54, ASQoL 6.79). Overall, 7 (9.9%) participants recorded abnormal HADs D scores, while 17 (23.9%) recorded moderate to severe PHQ-9 scores indicative of underlying depression. AxSpA females had higher mean HADs-D scores (7.5 vs 4.8, p = 0.01) than males, with abnormal scores in 19% (4) of females and 6% (3) of males. No significant differences were found in PHQ-9 scores between genders. Analysis revealed significantly worse BASDAI (6.27 vs 3.42, p &lt; 0.01) and AQoL scores (12.57 vs 5.26, p &lt; 0.01) in axSpA patients with abnormal compared to normal HADs D scores. No significant differences were noted in BASFI, BASMI or baseline demographics. A similar pattern was noted on analysis of PHQ-9 scores, with significantly worse BASDAI (7.9 vs 2.55, p &lt; 0.01), BASFI (8.05 vs 2.33, p &lt; 0.01) and ASQoL (19.5 vs 2.62, p &lt; 0.01) noted in those scoring as severe compared to normal. No significant differences were detected in BASMI scores or baseline demographics. Conclusion  A high percentage of axSpA patients recorded high HADs D and PHQ-9 scores for undiagnosed depression. These patients had significantly worse disease activity and quality of life as compared to patients with normal scores. Clinicians treating axSpA should consider screening for depression in this population. Disclosure  S. Maguire: None. F. O'Shea: None.
