Abstract:

Introduction: Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is a phakomatosis that presents an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The expression of the disease, as well as its complications, is variable. Objective: To map the concepts and findings about the quality of life of children, adolescents and young adults with Type 1 Neurofibromatosis and identify the limitations on the topic in current literature. Method: This is a Scooping Review literature review structured in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. The databases consulted were PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Lilacs, CINAHL, Open Gray and Google Scholar. The studies were ed and analyzed for their quality, using the “Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies” questionnaire. Results: 39 records were ed for eligibility assessment by two different researchers; Of these, eight were included in the review because they met the established inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is a complex disease with extensive comorbidity, which directly compromises the quality of life of individuals. Intervention studies to better approach this dimension are necessary in order to improve quality of life.
