OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of medical complications on adult outcomes of individuals with pediatric-onset @entity1566 ( @entity1566 ). METHOD: Structured interview including standardized measures. @entity1 : Individuals who sustained @entity1566 at age 18 years or younger and were 24 years of age or older at interview. OUTCOME MEASURES: A structured interview covering employment, independent living and driving, and marriage. Standardized measures include the @entity1032 ( @entity1032 ), the Short Form (SF-12), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). RESULTS: Two hundred sixteen individuals were interviewed, with a mean age at injury of 14 years and a mean age at follow-up of 29 years. Of all the complications, pressure @entity1066 , severe @entity293 ( @entity293 ), and @entity508 had the greatest impact on adult outcomes. Pressure @entity1066 were statistically related to all main outcomes. Severe @entity293 was statistically associated with all the outcomes except for marriage. Spasticity was associated with all the measured outcomes, except for marriage and life satisfaction. Life satisfaction was most significantly associated with severe @entity293 , pressure @entity1066 , @entity158 , and @entity1576 . CONCLUSION: Medical complications significantly affect adult outcomes of individuals with pediatric-onset @entity1566 .
