Description
Summary:<p><em>The article is dedicated to the study of QUALIN questionnaire of infants’ quality of life born in critical state. 47 children were examined: 19 were born in critical state and 28 were conditionally healthy. It was shown that children born in critical state and treated in intensive care departments for a long time have lower quality of life during the first year of life than healthy children. A decrease of quality of life in children born in critical state may be related to the worse health state after severe diseases.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Key words: infants, quality of life, QUALIN questionnaire.</em></strong><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>(<em><em>Voprosy sovremennoi pediatrii — </em></em>Current Pediatrics. 2010;9(2):<em>20-22</em>)</em></span></p>
