We examined parental HRQoL and factors related to it in complex paediatric neurologic disorders of unknown aetiology.
Parental HRQoL in complex paediatric neurology is lowered compared to the general population.
For fathers, both physical and mental HRQoL were affected, whereas mothers only showed diminished mental HRQoL.
Factors that influenced parental HRQoL were patient age, patient HRQoL, and the parental level of trait worry.
