Arterial ischaemic stroke is infrequent in the paediatric population. Between 50% and 80% of these patients develop sequelae that affect different areas.

The term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) refers to the impact of a disease and its treatment in the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of a patient as perceived by the patient. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in researching the quality of life of children that have experienced a stroke. Our objective was to assess HRQoL in a sample of children with heart disease who had suffered an arterial ischaemic stroke. We recruited patients from a larger case series that analysed the outcomes of children with heart disease who had experienced an arterial ischaemic stroke between January 2000 and December 2014. Patient outcomes were evaluated by means of the Paediatric Stroke Outcome Measure (PSOM) and the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at least 6 months after the stroke. At the time, HRQoL in patients aged more than 5 years was assessed by means of the generic core scales of the Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL ® ) version 4, for which we obtained authorisation. The PedsQL ® comprises 15 items, 5 on physical functioning, 4 on emotional functioning, 3 on social functioning and 3 on school functioning, in
