Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM version 4.0 short form generic core scale across pediatric populations review data

The Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM Version 4.0 Short Form Generic Core Scale (PedsQLTM) is a validated and widely used tool assessing the quality of life (QoL) of children and youth. It has been used extensively across healthy populations as well as those with chronic and acute illnesses, all...

Separating the BCCH IBD population by disease activity, those in remission (n=220, 84.4 (12.8)) have similar QoL scores to these healthy cohorts, though their scores remain slightly below the previously published BCCH cohort. For children with any degree of active IBD (n=98, 75.6 (15.8)), their QoL scores are below the healthy means and are lower than other groups with self-identified “chronic illnesses” (n=367, 77.2 (15.5)), diabetes (n=418, 82.3 (13.5)), mild asthma (n=281, 85.5 (13.3)), or Canadian patients 4 weeks post-concussion (n=1157, 80.3). BCCH IBD patients with moderately to severely active disease have QoL scores well below the other disease groups (n=33, 63.1 (18.8)); lower than oncology patients on induction chemotherapy regimens (n=105, 68.9 (16.0)), acute inpatients (n=359, 63.9 (20.3)), and asthmatics with moderate-severe, persistent asthma (n=86, 67.1 (18.6)).This data is useful for clinicians treating pediatric patients looking at how QoL is influenced by chronic illness and by factors such as disease type and severity.Matthew SmythKevan Jacobson, MBBCh, FRCPC, FACP, AGAF, CAGFElsevierarticleQuality of lifeInflammatory bowel diseasePediatricsPedsQLTMComputer applications to medicine.
