- The study further evaluated the Chiari Health Index for Pediatrics (CHIP) to track changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for children with Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) who underwent surgery.
- The authors collected CHIP scores from pediatric patients before and after surgery to analyze the correlation between symptom changes and improvements in HRQOL, identifying the need for a standardized HRQOL assessment tool for these patients.
- Results showed significant improvement in overall CHIP scores after surgery, indicating the potential effectiveness of this instrument in future research on pediatric CM-I.
OBJECTIVE Both the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons Joint Section on Pediatric Neurological Surgery (AANS/CNS Pediatric Section) and the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery (ISPN) annual meetings provide a platform for pediatric neurosurgeons to present, discuss, and disseminate current academic research.
