摘要 目的：了解矮小症儿童的生活质量及心理社会功能与正常身高儿童是否存在差异。方法：采用PedsQL量表对2011年6月至2012年6月间53名5~18岁诊断为矮小症的儿童及其家长或监护人进行调查，79名4~17岁健康儿童作为对照组。结果：PedsQL儿童自评量表评估显示矮小组总评分明显高于对照组 （25.3±11.2 vs 21.1±10.3，P0.05）。结论：矮小症儿童在心理社会功能发育的健全程度上落后于正常身高儿童。
Abstract：OBJECTIVE: To study the differences in quality of life and psychosocial function between children with short stature and children with normal stature. METHODS: The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) was used to survey 53 children aged 5-18 years who were diagnosed with short stature between June 2011 and June 2012, and their parents or guardians. Seventy-nine healthy children aged 4-17 years were selected as the control group. RESULTS: For PedsQL Child-Self Report, the children with short stature had a significantly higher total score than the control children (25.3±11.2 vs 21.1±10.3; P0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Children with short stature have poorer development of psychosocial function than children with normal stature.
