“…However, younger age (5-7) years is associated with poor quality of life, which the child perceives in terms of physical functioning. This finding is the same as previous studies, which found that most pediatric patients diagnosed with cancer at a younger age had a poor observed quality of life [18,44]. This finding reinforces the importance of preventing the physical disability and dysfunction associated with cancer treatment and the disease itself.…”

“…Poor health, the standard of living, and living in rural areas are the factors that contribute most to Poor QoL in pediatric cancer patients in this study. However, the results are consistent with recent studies suggesting that all children with cancer living in disadvantaged and rural areas are likely to impact poor QoL and experience a better quality of life if their socioeconomic status is improved [22,44].…”

“…The results may suggest that age, frequent hospitalizations, childhood deprivation, and irregular school attendance are important determinants of improved quality of life in pediatric cancer patients. However, most of the deprived pediatric cancer patients failed to attend school after frequent hospitalizations [44]. However, this study has discover that the childhood deprivation is higher which lead to lower quality of life among pediatric cancer patients related to delay treatment due to living in rural areas where there is limited of cancer centers and poor standard of living,…”

Introduction Pediatrics cancer is one of the most important life-threatening, non-communicable diseases worldwide. However, pediatric cancer patients suffer from physical disabilities associated with cancer treatment. However, there is unclear information about level of health-related quality of life and associated factors. Aimed of this study was to assess level of Health-Related Quality of Life among pediatric cancer patients. Methods A hospital-based Analytical cross-sectional study design with a quantitative approach was employed among 91 conveniently sampled pediatric cancer patients with their parents/caregivers. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using SPSS computer software program version 25. One-way ANOVA and linear regression were used to quantify and establish an association between Childhood Deprivation, Health-Related Quality of Life, and associated factors among Pediatric Cancer Patients at 95% CI, and a 5% level of significance. Results Results, the response rate was 92.3% (n = 84). The most prominent kind of pediatric cancer was Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia 30 (35.7%) and Hodgkin lymphoma 11(13%). The mean age of pediatric cancer patients was 10.26±3.90 years while 59 (70.2%) were male. In linear regression, Childhood Deprivation (β=-1.640; P-value< 0.05) on PedsQLTM 4.0 and (β= -2.175; P-value< 0.01) on PedsQLTM 3.0. Findings imply that decreases the level of Childhood Deprivation, the chance of improving Quality of life increases. Conclusion The magnitude of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is higher among pediatric cancer patients. There was a significant link between pediatric cancers and childhood deprivation and thus, compromised quality of life. Innovative pediatric cancer care policies, guidelines, and or strategies may need to be advocated to address the problem accordingly.
