“…This need for help had already been verified in a prior study aimed to validate a quality of life assessment tool (PedsQL 4.0) in a similar population from the same hospital. 13 As far as psychometric properties are concerned, the tool showed good internal consistency for overall score with Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which exceeded the recommended limit for group comparison (0.70). In comparison to the latest version published by the authors of the tool in 2014, Cronbach's alpha coefficients were lower for both the overall score (0.94 vs. 0.81) and the different domains considered separately.…”

“…The first one analyzed the correlation between TRAQ scores and a global external measure of self-perceived readiness (VAS), which reinforced the validity of this tool. 13 The second one was aimed at determining whether there was consistency between health impairment due to the condition and TRAQ results. The lack of correlation in this study should be analyzed in future research, as this was an exploratory hypothesis that had not been used before.…”

“…En Sudamérica, la información sobre la CVRS en los pacientes con OI es escasa. [6][7][8][9][10][11] El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la CVRS utilizando el cuestionario PedsQL 4.0 (American Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) en un grupo de pacientes con OI.…”

“…Los cuestionarios que responden los pacientes y sus familias durante la validación de los instrumentos que miden la CVRS suelen reflejar satisfacción por ser indagados sobre cuestiones que consideran relevantes y, a veces, relegadas en la entrevista médica. 18,19 Estudios de investigación sobre el impacto de la utilización de cuestionarios reportan, incluso, mejoras en las puntuaciones de CVRS de los pacientes. 20 Para poder usar las puntuaciones individuales de un paciente para su seguimiento, el instrumento por utilizar debe cumplir, al momento de su validación, condiciones más estrictas que las necesarias para la comparación entre grupos.…”
