背景：随着先天性心脏病（CHD）患者生存率的提高，生命质量以外的问题变得更加重要。生活质量（QOL）主要研究于成人冠心病患者。因此，研究青少年冠心病患者的生活质量是非常必要的。目的：比较青少年冠心病患者的生活质量与正常人群的生活质量，探讨一致性感（SOC）是否可以解释青少年冠心病患者与正常人群生活质量的差异。方法：在这项横断面比较研究中，我们纳入了429名年龄在14-18岁的患者（229名男孩，200名女孩），他们的年龄和性别与对照组相匹配。QOL采用线性模拟量表测定；使用SOC-13测量SOC。结果：患者中位生活质量评分为82分（Q1=75; Q3=90）。患者的生活质量显著降低(Z=-5.888; p
Background: Since survival rates of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) have improved, issues beyond the quantity of life have become more important. Quality of life (QOL) has mainly been investigated in adults with CHD. Hence, research about QOL among adolescents with CHD is much needed.Aim: To compare the QOL of adolescents with CHD with that of control subjects from the general population and to explore whether sense of coherence (SOC) explains differences in QOL between patients and controls.Methods: In this cross-sectional, comparative study, we included 429 patients (229 boys; 200 girls) aged 14-18 years, who were matched to control subjects for age and sex. QOL was measured with a Linear Analogue Scale; SOC was measured using the SOC-13.Results: Median QOL score in patients was 82 (Q1=75; Q3=90). The QOL of patients was significantly (Z=-5.888; p
