Objective: To evaluate, through the use of questionnaires, fecal continence, and quality of life of children in the late postoperative follow-up of ARM correction, both high and low. In addition, the levels of fecal continence and quality of life were compared with those of a control group.  Method: A Fecal Continence Index Questionnaire (ICF) and a Questionnaire for Assessment of Quality of Life Related to Fecal Continence in Children and Adolescents (QQVCFCA) were administered to 63 patients with ARM, aged from 7 to 19 years, whose surgical treatment had been completed for at least 6 months. The patients were compared to a control group of 59 children.  Results: In the control group, 25 (42.4%) patients had good continence and 34 (57.6%), normal continence. We found that the quality of life in children with ARM is compromised globally, in all areas and in the ICF questionnaire, compared to controls (p&lt;0.001). There was no difference between patients with high and low defects. Thirty-two (50.8%) patients had other associated anomalies.  Conclusion: In patients operated for ARM correction, quality of life and ICF were compromised, and there was no difference between patients with high-type and low-type of the disease. In about half the cases there are other associated malformations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1806-9282.62.06.544","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,9]],"date-time":"2016-11-09T21:08:26Z","timestamp":1478725706000},"page":"544-552","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Long-term evaluation of fecal continence and quality of life in patients operated for anorectal malformations"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Ana Cristina Aoun","family":"Tannuri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"FMUSP,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariana Aparecida Elisei","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FMUSP,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arthur Loguetti","family":"Mathias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FMUSP,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Uenis","family":"Tannuri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FMUSP,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"398","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2007.118133","article-title":"Quality of life and disease-specific functioning of patients with anorectal malformations or Hirschsprung\u2019s disease: a review","volume":"96","author":"Hartman EE","year":"2011","journal-title":"Arch Dis Child"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"403","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clp.2012.04.001","article-title":"Anorectal malformations","volume":"39","author":"Herman RS","year":"2012","journal-title":"Clin Perinatol"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"372","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2012.11.018","article-title":"Qualitative analysis of studies concerning quality of life in children and adults with anorectal malformations","volume":"48","author":"Witvliet MJ","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02237236","article-title":"Fecal incontinence quality of life scale: quality of life instrument for patients with fecal incontinence","volume":"43","author":"Rockwood TH","year":"2000","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"issue":"11","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1650","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02234386","article-title":"Quality of life in patients with anorectal malformation or Hirschsprung\u2019s disease: development of a disease-specific questionnaire","volume":"44","author":"Hanneman MJ","year":"2001","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"405","article-title":"Elektromanometrische Untersuchungen der Kontinenzleistung nach rektoanalen Fehlbildungen","volume":"14","author":"Holschneider AM","year":"1974","journal-title":"Z Kinderchir"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref7","first-page":"99","article-title":"Validation of questionnaires to assess quality of life related to fecal incontinence in children with anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung\u2019s disease","volume":"34","author":"Mathias AL","year":"2016","journal-title":"Rev Paul Pediatr"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"597","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2012.10.056","article-title":"Longitudinal study of bowel function in children with anorectal malformations","volume":"48","author":"Borg HC","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.1007\/s00383-009-2497-5","article-title":"Fifteen years of experience in the treatment of anorectal malformations","volume":"26","author":"Juli\u00e0 V","year":"2010","journal-title":"Pediatr Surg Int"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"146","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02236971","article-title":"Validation of a questionnaire to assess fecal incontinence and associated risk factors","volume":"43","author":"Reilly WT","year":"2000","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"issue":"1 Suppl 1","key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S106","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2003.10.057","article-title":"Incontinence severity and QOL scales for fecal incontinence","volume":"126","author":"Rockwood TH","year":"2004","journal-title":"Gastroenterology"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref12","first-page":"143","article-title":"Brazilian-Portuguese version of the SF-36.
