- Abstract
The article presents information on health-related quality of life after pediatric heart or heart-lung transplantation. Assessments were completed at 12 and 24 months using standardized measures, with information obtained from the medical record, children, parents, and teachers. Findings were interpreted to suggest that a significant minority of children and adolescents post-transplant experience cognitive and behavioral problems, with younger children being the most vulnerable to cognitive declines, and a pattern of increasing behavioral difficulties at home contrasting with a decline in behavioral difficulties at school.
