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

Published: Reading: 1 min

Topic overview

This systematic review evaluates questionnaires used to assess bowel function and quality of life in Hirschsprung disease patients after surgery. The authors analyze measurement tools and their properties to recommend standardized instruments for future clinical research, addressing the current lack of consensus in outcome reporting.

Key takeaways

  • Bowel dysfunction and reduced quality of life are common long-term complications following Hirschsprung disease surgery.
  • No standardized questionnaires exist for reporting bowel function outcomes in Hirschsprung patients, limiting study comparability.
  • This systematic review identifies existing questionnaires and their measurement properties to guide future outcome reporting.
  • Standardized outcome measures are needed to enable meaningful comparison across Hirschsprung disease treatment studies.
  • The review provides evidence-based recommendations for questionnaire selection in future Hirschsprung disease research.
