Article Synopsis
- Congenital myelomeningocele, or spina bifida, is the most common birth defect affecting the central nervous system, impacting neonatal survival and long-term quality of life in children.
- A study conducted at Zewditu Memorial Hospital in Ethiopia assessed the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in 232 children with spina bifida using a standardized questionnaire from June to September 2022.
- Results showed a median age of 5 years, with overall HRQoL scores indicating challenges in school participation, while factors like family income and neurogenic bladder significantly influenced quality of life outcomes.
