Abstract: Background: High blood pressure represents a major factor that profoundly and widely affects the quality of children’s lives, reducing their daily lives and their physical and mental health. Objective: This study was assessed and analysed clinical outcomes of the quality of life for children with high blood pressure. Patients and methods: This study recorded data on pediatric patients with high blood pressure, which included symptoms and comorbidities associated with the patients and side effects, which included (exposure to passive smoking, family history of high blood pressure, low birth weight, and diet), where rates of biochemical measurements were also determined. And blood pressure in patients in terms of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, recording rates of complications related to children, assessing rates of pain and quality of life in children, and identifying factors affecting children’s quality of life in the long term.Results: Clinical data was recorded for pediatric patients, which showed that males were 70% higher than females, 30%. The percentage of children who had comorbidities was 40%, and the most common symptoms in children included dizziness, 43%, and chest pain, 55%. Headaches accounted for 60%; fatigue accounted for 74%; side effects affecting children represented by exposure to passive smoking accounted for 59 cases; family history of high blood pressure accounted for 50 cases, and a diet including a healthy diet accounted for 20%, and unhealthy foods accounted for 80 cases. %. Our subjects recorded mean blood pressure measurements of 152.23 ± 3.67, diastolic blood pressure was 84.65 ± 2.15 in class 1 hypertension, while systolic blood pressure was 166.24 ± 1.93 and diastolic blood pressure was 93.82 ± 2.89. This data determined complication rates, which included heart disease in 12 cases, stroke in 9 cases, and kidney failure in 7 cases. Quality of life rates determined physical function at 43.23 ± 2.35, psychological function at 50.64 ± 4.78, and school function at 56.74. ±4.82.Conclusion: High blood pressure is a dangerous indicator which causes an increased rate of health complications that may negatively affect the rate of quality of healthy life in children, which is attributed to poor health and well-being of the child in the long term
