Conditions

Pectus Carinatum, Quality of Life, Body Image, Brace

Brief summary

In children with severe pectus carinatum, a significant loss of self-esteem, impairment in social behavior due to a decrease in quality of life associated with physical appearance and mental health has been reported. However, a questionnaire measuring these problems specific to this disease is not available in Turkish. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Pectus Carinatum Body Image Quality of Life Questionnaire (PeCBI-QOL) in patients with Pectus Carinatum.
