Abstract
The health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a measure to quantify the consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI). In English-speaking countries HRQOL after childhood TBI is an important field of study, however, little is known about the current state of research on this subject in the Hispanic population.
OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study is to conduct a review of the literature on HRQOL after acquired brain injury associated to TBI in Latin American children in order to identify the current state of research on this subject and areas for future studies.
METHOD. MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Central, Redalyc and Scielo databases were reviewed; only three of 209 records met inclusion criteria.
RESULTS:HRQoL after childhood TBI is a field of study that has been little explored, the quality of available scientific evidence is regular in two of the three studies identified. In the reviewed papers it is shown that patients who have presented moderate-severe TBI are affected in their HRQL during the years following brain damage. It is suggested that the psychosocial sphere is more affected, which has important implications for the school functioning and psychological well-being of the child, since academic performance can be compromised due to cognitive sequelae and the appearance of aggressive behaviors and irritability. It is necessary to develop research in this field with rigorous methodological designs that evaluate the course of HRQoL after TBI, potential predictors, intervention strategies and their impact on the well-being of Latin American children.
