The Pediatric Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (pTESS): Validation of a Self-reported Functional Outcomes Tool for Children with Extremity Tumors

Abstract: Background The physical function of children with sarcoma after surgery has not been studied explicitly. This paucity of research is partly because of the lack of a sufficiently sensitive pediatric functional measure. The goal of this study was to establish and validate a standardized measure of physical function in pediatric patients with extremity tumors. Questions/purposes (1) What is the best format and content for new upper- and lower-extremity mea… Show more

“…This result was consistent with previous ndings that showed signi cant enhancement after one year from surgery, but minor improvements in the functional outcome and HRQOL at 2 to 7 years later [9,12,46]. Chemotherapy was linked to worse outcomes in the lower extremities; this was the case in previous measures for both pediatric and adult groups [11,22].…”

“…TESS was originally developed for an age group ranging from 12 to 60 years, and it includes items that seem irrelevant for children and adolescents [21,22]. Accordingly, the pediatric Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (pTESS) was developed and validated to be used for North American patients aged from 8 to 17.9 years [22].…”
