Mental Health in a Diverse Group of Children, Adolescents, and Adults Previously Treated for Childhood Interstitial Lung Disease
Former chILD patients demonstrate lower QoL, and a remarkably elevated burden of lifetime anxiety and depression, with a subset of patients continuing to experience clinically significant symptoms. Subtle cognitive impairments among those patients treated at younger ages highlight the need for long-term psychological and neurocognitive follow-up. These findings emphasize the importance of incorporating mental health surveillance into the routine care of chILD.
