Impact on Quality of Life following Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) directed conservative management for Pectus Carinatum
This study plans to identify if there are any changes in the quality of life for children/ teenagers who complete a multi-disciplinary led programme for the conservative management of pectus carinatum. The population group will be individuals between 12-17 who present to Beacon Pectus Clinic with pectus carinatum deformity. Outcomes will include patient compliance and evaluation questionnaires at various intervals, along with repeated completion of 3D scanning. These outcomes will be analysed to answer the question of whether an MDT led programme for conservative management of pectus carinatum has any impact on quality of life for children/ teenagers.
