Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Health related quality of life

  Quality of life is measured by Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scales (PedsQL) which aims at measuring patient's perceptions of the patient's HRQOL in various aspects namely the impact of disease and treatment on an individual's physical functioning(8 items ), emotional functioning(5 items), social functioning(5 items), and school functioning(5 items). The 5-point Likert scale is used for indicating the frequency of a problem has been during the past one month ,0=never a problem, 1=almost never a problem, 2=sometimes a problem, 3=often a problem and 4=almost always a problem. The PedsQL core scales can be completed within 10-15 minutes. Reversed scoring will be used to evaluate the items and linear transformed into 0-100 scale, thus higher PedsQL scores represents greater HRQOL.
