Methods : A total of 120 children who were divided into three groups: group 1: 30 chronic hepatitis C infected children without treatment, group II: 30 chronic hepatitis C infected children under treatment with peg-interferon and ribavirin, group III: Includes 60 normal children matched for age and sex as a control group were enrolled in this case–control study.
We used the Peds QLTM 4.0 generic score scale to assess the HRQOL based on a child’s self- and parent proxy reports.
Also assessment of childhood depression using ACDS Inventory, Arabic form based on Kovacs Children’s Depression Inventory was done.
Results : There was a statistical significant difference between studied groups regarding physical, emotional, social and school functioning parameter of parents’ reports and child opinion of PEDSQL score, also there was a statistical significant difference between studied groups regarding depression score as it was significantly higher in group II (hepatitis C infected children under treatment with peg-interferon and ribavirin).
