Abstract:Objective To explore the influencing factors of quality of life in children with phenylketonuria (PKU). Methods A total of 76 children with PKU admitted to the Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from December 2014 to December 2016 were selected as the study group, and their quality of life was evaluated by Greneric Quarity of Life Inventor-74 (GQOLI-74). According to GQOLI-74, the children in the study group were divided into high score group and low score group. Eighty-four healthy children in Hebei Province were selected as the control group. The influencing factors of quality of life in children with PKU were analyzed. Results The GQOLI-74 scores of all dimensions and total scores in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). A total of 76 children with PKU were scored by GQOLI-74, 54 cases in high score group and 22 cases in low score group. There were significant differences in age, guardian′s educational level and guardian′s occupation between the two groups (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis found that the factors influencing the quality of life of children with PKU was age 4-10 years (OR = 5.370, 95% CI: 1.861-15.496, P < 0.05), the protection factor were the guardian′s education level (OR = 0.288, 95% CI: 0.094-0.882, P < 0.05), and the occupation were the enterprise/institution (OR = 0.215, 95% CI: 0.062-0.746, P < 0.05), other occupations (OR = 0.402, 95% CI: 0.219-0.738, P < 0.05). Conclusion The overall quality of life of children with PKU is worse than that of healthy children. Age, the guardian′s education level and occupation are the main influencing factors. Targeted intervention measures should be given to improve the quality of life of children.
