Strabismus is common, affecting 2% to 4% of children, but how children and their families are affected in everyday life is poorly understood.
To evaluate the association of strabismus with functional vision and eye-related quality of life in children and their families using the Pediatric Eye Questionnaire (PedEyeQ).
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2017 and October 2019 and included 91 children with strabismus and 166 visually normal controls across 3 age groups (0-4, 5-11, and 12-17 years) who were enrolled at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, and Retina Foundation of the Southwest, Dallas, Texas.
Children completed the child PedEyeQ (5 to 11- and 12 to 17-year versions: functional vision, bothered by eyes/vision, social, and frustration/worry domains); parents completed the proxy (0 to 4-, 5 to 11-, and 12 to 17-year versions: functional vision, bothered by eyes/vision, social, frustration/worry, and eye care domains) and the parent PedEyeQ (impact on parent and family, worry about child's eye condition, worry about child's self-perception and interactions, and worry about child's functional vision domains). Rasch-calibrated PedEyeQ scores were calculated for each domain and converted to 0 (worst) to 100.
PedEyeQ domain scores.
Of 91 participants with strabismus, 41 (45.1%) were girls, 74 (81.3%) were white, 4 (4.4%) were Asian, 5 (5.5%) were more than 1 race, 5 (5.5%) were African American, and 2 (2.2%) were American Indian/Alaska Native. Child PedEyeQ domain scores were lower with strabismus vs visually normal controls among children ages 5 to 11 years and the greatest mean (SD) difference was in functional vision (12 [14] points; 95% CI, 6-18; P = .001), and among children ages 12 to 17 years, the greatest mean (SD) difference was in frustration/worry (27 [13] points; 95% CI, 18-36; P < .001). Proxy PedEyeQ domain scores were also lower with strabismus. The greatest difference among children ages 0 to 4 years was in functional vision (13 [9] points; 95% CI, 9-16; P < .001), among children ages 5 to 11 years was in functional vision (26 [10] points; 95% CI, 22-30; P < .001); and among children ages 12 to 17 years was in functional vision (21 [12] points; 95% CI, 12-30; P < .001), social (21 [13] points; 95% CI, 12-30; P < .001), and frustration/worry (21 [13] points; 95% CI, 12-30; P < .001). Parent PedEyeQ domain scores were lower with strabismus; the greatest difference was in worry about child's eye condition (38 [14] points; 95% CI, 34-42; P < .001).
Strabismus is associated with reduced functional vision and eye-related quality of life in children. Parents of children with strabismus also experience a reduced quality of life. These findings advance our understanding of how strabismus affects children and their families and should be considered when defining patient management goals.
重要性:斜视很常见,影响 2%至 4%的儿童,但儿童及其家庭在日常生活中受到的影响尚不清楚。
目的:使用小儿眼科问卷(PedEyeQ)评估斜视与儿童的功能性视力和眼相关生活质量之间的关联。
设计、地点和参与者:这是一项横断面研究,于 2017 年 12 月至 2019 年 10 月进行,在明尼苏达州罗切斯特市的 Mayo 诊所和德克萨斯州达拉斯市的视网膜基金会西南部纳入了 91 名斜视儿童和 166 名视力正常的对照组,年龄在 0-4 岁、5-11 岁和 12-17 岁之间。
暴露:儿童完成儿童版 PedEyeQ(5 至 11 岁和 12 至 17 岁版本:功能性视力、眼睛/视力困扰、社交和挫折/忧虑领域);父母完成代理版(0 至 4 岁、5 至 11 岁和 12 至 17 岁版本:功能性视力、眼睛/视力困扰、社交、挫折/忧虑和眼科保健领域)和父母版 PedEyeQ(对父母和家庭的影响、对孩子眼睛状况的担忧、对孩子自我认知和互动的担忧、对孩子功能性视力的担忧)。为每个领域计算了经过拉什校准的 PedEyeQ 分数,并转换为 0(最差)至 100。
主要结果和措施:PedEyeQ 领域得分。
结果:在 91 名斜视儿童中,41 名(45.1%)为女孩,74 名(81.3%)为白人,4 名(4.4%)为亚洲人,5 名(5.5%)为多种族,5 名(5.5%)为非裔美国人,2 名(2.2%)为美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民。与视力正常的对照组相比,5 至 11 岁儿童斜视组的儿童 PedEyeQ 领域得分较低,最大平均(SD)差异为功能性视力(12 [14] 分;95%CI,6-18;P =.001),12 至 17 岁儿童最大平均(SD)差异为挫折/忧虑(27 [13] 分;95%CI,18-36;P <.001)。代理版 PedEyeQ 领域得分也较低。0 至 4 岁儿童最大差异为功能性视力(13 [9] 分;95%CI,9-16;P <.001),5 至 11 岁儿童为功能性视力(26 [10] 分;95%CI,22-30;P <.001),12 至 17 岁儿童为功能性视力(21 [12] 分;95%CI,12-30;P <.001)、社交(21 [13] 分;95%CI,12-30;P <.001)和挫折/忧虑(21 [13] 分;95%CI,12-30;P <.001)。斜视儿童的父母版 PedEyeQ 领域得分较低;最大差异是对孩子眼睛状况的担忧(38 [14] 分;95%CI,34-42;P <.001)。
结论和相关性:斜视与儿童功能性视力和眼相关生活质量下降有关。斜视儿童的父母生活质量也有所下降。这些发现提高了我们对斜视如何影响儿童及其家庭的理解,在确定患者管理目标时应考虑这些发现。
