dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study was to determine functional status and QoL of children with spina bifida (SB) by using the Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) and the Child Health Questionnaire PF-50 (CHQPF-50) and to compare the functional status data of pediatric SB patients with those of healthy children. Material and Methods: Forty children with SB and 40 healthy children aged between 36 and 143 months were enrolled in the study. Both pediatric SB patients and healthy children were divided into three age groups: Group 1: 36-71 months, Group 2: 72-107 months, and Group 3: 108-143 months. The WeeFIM and CHQPF-50 were completed for children with SB, whereas the WeeFIM was completed only for healthy children. Results: In both assessments, the total score and subscale scores were lower than normal values in children with SB. However, improvement was found in self-care; communication; social, emotional, and mental status; and family factors with increasing age. On the other hand, there was no improvement in physical score, transfer, mobility, and sphincter control with increasing age. Functional status of children with SB was significantly lower compared to healthy children. Conclusion: There was progress in self-care, communication, family factors, and social, emotional and mental status in children with SB with increasing age.en_US
