An observational study in Pectus Carinatum, Compliance and Brace, sponsored by Acibadem University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 10 Years to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-10-22.
Sponsored by Acibadem University · Observational
Based on the hypothesis that the chest wall was still pliable in adolescence and could be reshaped in a normal position with the external suppressor applied on the chest, a pressure orthosis was started to be used in the pectus carinatum. It is the focus of attention as it is an alternative method to surgery for patients. However, the patient's compliance with the orthosis is difficult. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate the Turkish Validity and Reliability of the Pectus Carinatum Evaluation Questionnaire, which is a questionnaire investigating the compliance with orthosis treatment in patients diagnosed with Pectus Carinatum by the doctor.
Acibadem University is the lead sponsor of 210 studies on the registry; 50 are open to participants now.

Patients with Pectus Carinatum
Exclusion Criteria:
Compliance to brace compression used for the correction of pectus carinatum will be evaluated.
Pectus Carinatum Evaluation Questionnaire
A questionnaire (Pectus Carinatum Evaluation Questionnaire, PCEQ) was developed by Pessanha et al to be applied in the follow-up of Pectus Carinatum patients. The PCEQ was divided into four different sections, allowing a thorough evaluation of compliance, symptoms, social influence and engagement with sports and daily activities.
Time frame: 15-21 days
The Pectus Excavatum Evaluation Questionnaire
The Pectus Excavatum Evaluation Questionnaire (PEEQ) was developed and validated by Lawson et al to measure the physical and psychosocial quality-of-life changes after surgical repair of pectus excavatum. Each of the 17 items in the PEEQ is in a Likert scale format, where low scores indicate better outcome.
Time frame: 15-21 days
