Evaluation of Non-invasive Treatment Options for Children and Adolescents with Pectus Carinatum : An Evaluation of Patient Satisfaction, Adherence and an Exploration of the Social and Psychological Impact of Non-invasive Treatment Options - A Systematic Review (English)
Abstract [en]

This review aimed to evaluate orthotic treatments for children and adolescents with pectus carinatum, primarily focusing on patient satisfaction with the treatment. Secondary outcomes of interest were adherence and psychological and social factors following the treatment period. A literature search was performed in the databases CINHAL, Medline, Web of Science and Scopus. Following predetermined eligibility criteria, articles were included and excluded. Next, criticala ppraisal was performed for the included articles. Following this, relevant data were extracted, analysed, and presented to aid in answering the research questions. Six articles with 402 patients were included in the final review. Patient satisfaction was good or improved following the treatment period, and the combined non-adherence rate for the included orthosis was 37.7 %. Patients adhering to the treatment protocol showed increased self-esteem and decreased interference with social activity following orthotic correction. Moreover, they displayed significantly higher patient satisfaction than patient's non-adherent to the treatment protocol. The findings were displayed and discussed in the Bio-Psycho-Social model. Due to their connection, patient satisfaction and adherence were placed together in the middle and surrounded bypsychological and social factors. The model displayed that a combination of many aspects determines patient satisfaction and adherence, demonstrating that treatment is complex and challenging. In conclusion, adherence was deemed one of the most important aspects to achieve high patient satisfaction. Moreover, due to psychological and social factors, a patient-centred approach with professional collaboration is necessary to achieve successful outcomes. To make reliable conclusions, research of higher quality with long follow-up periods including standardised patient satisfaction and adherence measures is needed.
