Abstract
Young adult survivors of childhood BM reported similar and even better levels of daily functioning, HRQoL, and overall QoL than age-matched Dutch reference scores. However, clinicians and healthcare workers should be mindful of poor mental and physical health of some survivors of childhood BM because these survivors also face problems with functioning in daily life. • Acute bacterial meningitis is a life-threatening infection which may lead to devastating lifelong disabilities. • Health-related quality of life is decreased in school-age survivors of bacterial meningitis. • The present study shows that HRQoL in survivors of childhood BM improves over time • However, especially poor mental health in adolescent and young adult survivors is associated with impaired functioning in daily life.
