Is health-related-quality-of-life in obese adolescents decreased and inversely related to BMI?
HRQoL in obese adolescents is less than in normal weight controls, and is partially explained by obesity-related comorbidity. Overall HRQoL was inversely associated with BMI. Hence, HRQoL is an important indicator of impact of obesity and effect of interventions, complementary to clinical variables.
Workstation-based peer review can increase completion rates and levels of radiologist acceptance while producing RADPEER scores similar to those previously reported. This approach may be one way to increase radiologist engagement in peer review quality assurance.
