All the parents of a pediatric patient with hydrocephalus who attended the Hospital Regional Universitario de M\u00e1laga neurosurgery outpatient clinic were invited to enroll in the study and complete the HOQ\u2013Spanish version. Age at diagnosis and at the time of the study, clinical data, shunt complications, and socioeconomic factors were also recorded. A descriptive analysis was performed, and independent variables related to the HOQ scores were studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 132 patients participated in the study (100% participation rate). The mean ages were 16.74 months (range 0\u2013142 months) at diagnosis and 10.45 years (range 5\u201316 years) at the time of the study. The mean overall HOQ score was 0.68 (on a scale from 0 [worse] to 1.0 [best]). Factors related to a worse quality of life were seizures, motor or visual impairment, shunt infection, need for shunt revision, need for more than 2 shunt revisions (range 0\u20138 revisions), symptomatic overdrainage, and older age at the time of the study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The HOQ\u2013Spanish version is useful in the authors\u2019 region; the dimension scores found in this study were comparable to those previously reported by referral centers. Future goals should be to prevent shunt complications, routinely get children to reach functional status, and refer patients for adjuvant therapy promptly.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2017.8.peds16700","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,5]],"date-time":"2018-01-05T14:55:37Z","timestamp":1515164137000},"page":"224-235","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Functional outcome in pediatric hydrocephalus: results of applying the Spanish version of the Hydrocephalus Outcome Questionnaire"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Sara","family":"Iglesias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery Department, Hospital Regional Universitario de M\u00e1laga; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bienvenido","family":"Ros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery Department, Hospital Regional Universitario de M\u00e1laga; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c1lvaro","family":"Mart\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery Department, Hospital Regional Universitario de M\u00e1laga; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Carrasco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery Department, Hospital Regional Universitario de M\u00e1laga; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francisca","family":"Rius","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Statistics Department, Universidad de M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel \u00c1ngel","family":"Arr\u00e1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery Department, Hospital Regional Universitario de M\u00e1laga; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"1 Suppl","key":"b1","series-title":"J Neurosurg","first-page":"22","article-title":"Institutional experience with cranial vault encephaloceles","volume":"107","author":"Bui CJ","year":"2007","unstructured":"Bui CJ, Tubbs RS, Shannon CN, Acakpo-Satchivi L, Wellons JC III, Blount JP, : Institutional experience with cranial vault encephaloceles.
