OBJECTIVES: Pectus excavatum (PE) can cause both physical and psychosocial symptoms and affect patients' health-related quality of life. Previous international studies have shown that the Nuss procedure increases both self-esteem and body image. The aim of the study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life in patients who have undergone the Nuss procedure for PE.
METHODS: The study had a cross-sectional multicentre design. All patients (N = 420) who underwent the Nuss procedure for PE in 3 cardiothoracic departments in Sweden from 2000 to 2019 were invited to answer the RAND-36 and Nuss Questionnaire modified for adults. Genders were compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test. Patients were divided into groups based on age at time of surgery (<20, 20-30 or >30 years) and analysed by the Kruskal-Wallis H-test with post-hoc analyses.
RESULTS: A total of 236 patients returned the questionnaires; 82.2% were males. Men scored significantly better on the modified Nuss Questionnaire total (P = 0.01) and psychosocial (P = 0.02) subscales. Patients who had surgery at <20 years of age had significantly better scores on the same scales (P = 0.007 and 0.006, respectively) compared to patients aged 20-30 years at the time of surgery. However, no significant difference was seen in comparison with patients >30 years. Patients who had their bar removed had significantly better values on both scales.
CONCLUSIONS: Male gender, young age at surgery and bar removal seem to be associated with better health-related quality of life after the Nuss procedure for PE.
