This is the first literature review focusing on HMV in the paediatric population. It is clear that HMV does not only affect the treated child or adolescent but also the whole family. It is important to regularly measure and evaluate QoL in children and adolescents with HMV to provide person-centered care. More research is needed to improve these children's and adolescents' QoL.
