Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief patient-reported outcome measure is designed to assess health-related quality of life across key domains in pediatric populations. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) is commonly used to describe functioning and well-being from the child’s perspective and/or via parent report, depending on the form administered.
The instrument includes 23 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items sample physical, emotional, social, and role/school functioning, supporting a profile of day-to-day impact that can be tracked over time.
The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), developed by James W. Varni, is used in clinical and research settings to monitor change, compare groups, and inform treatment planning in the context of general health or medical conditions.
