“…The study was carried out between April and June 2013. All children and parents were asked to answer the J-KIDSCREEN questionnaire and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scales (PedsQL) [24]. A total of 492 childparent pairs participated in the test-retest study within a 3-4-week interval.…”

“…Summary scores of the PedsQL, which include the Psychosocial summary score (0-300), sum of scores in Emotional, Social, School functioning, and the Total score (0-400), the sum of the scores of the four dimensions, were hypothesized to correlated with the J-KIDSCREEN-10. The Japanese version of the PedsQL has been validated in a previous study [24].…”

“…Since mental health problems such as attention deficits, learning difficulties, and conduct problems can strongly impact HRQOL at school and at home in everyday life [19,21], in addition to the potential difficulties in maintaining attention when performing tasks [22], a brief and reliable HRQOL measure is indispensable for evaluating therapeutic and educational interventions. However, only a few well-validated instruments exist in Japan [23,24].…”

Objective This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of Japanese versions of the KIDSCREEN-27 (J-KIDSCREEN-27) and KIDSCREEN-10 (J-KIDSCREEN-10) questionnaires, which are shorter versions of the KIDSCREEN-52 (J-KIDSCREEN-52). Methods The present analyses are based on a pre-existing dataset of the J-KIDSCREEN-52 validation study, including 1564 children and adolescents aged 8-18 years and their 1326 parents. All were asked to complete the J-KIDSCREEN and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) questionnaires. Test-retest reliability was assessed with Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) in a one-way random effects model, and internal consistency reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficients. Agreement between child and parent scores was evaluated using ICCs in a two-way mixed effects model. To assess concurrent validity, a sub-sample of 535 parents evaluated their child's mental health status using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).Results For children, test-retest ICCs were C0.60 and Cronbach's alpha C0.70 for every dimension of both instruments. Correlations of corresponding dimensions between the J-KIDSCREEN-27 or -10 and the PedsQL were acceptable. For parents, test-retest ICCs were C0.60, Cronbach's alpha C0.70, and ICCs between child and parent scores C0.41 in every dimension of both instruments. In multivariate logistic regression models, after adjusting for confounders, lower health-related QOL in every dimension of both instruments, except Physical Well-being, was significantly associated with higher odds ratios for borderline and clinical ranges of the SDQ. Conclusion The child/adolescent and parent/proxy versions of the J-KIDSCREEN-27 and J-KIDSCREEN-10 demonstrated acceptable levels of reliability and validity.

“…Based on these results, factors including cancer morbidity and treatment may affect depressive tendencies in individual children, but they had little effect on subjects as a whole in this study. A previous study found that the Japanese version of the PedsQL was applicable to community and school health settings and useful in clinical settings (10). That study involved healthy children, including those with chronic health needs and mental conditions.…”

“…A Japanese version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) was developed in 2010; PedsQL assesses health-related QOL (HRQOL), and the reliability and validity of the Japanese version have been tested (10). The background for the treatment of childhood cancer and the cultural background of the parent-child relationship/family relationship in Japan differ from those in other countries.…”

ObjectivesTo holistically evaluate neurodevelopmental outcomes and quality of life (QOL) of Japanese patients with biliary atresia (BA) and to investigate the factors associated with the outcomes.MethodsThis study enrolled patients with BA aged 5–18 years who visited Osaka University Hospital in 2021. Neurodevelopmental assessments were performed to evaluate intellectual ability, cognitive functions and adaptive skill levels. Furthermore, emotional and behavioral issues, characteristics of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and QOL were concomitantly assessed in the same cohort. Biochemical and social factors associated with the results were examined.ResultsFifty‐three patients, with a median age of 11.2 years were included in the analyses. Patients with BA had a significantly lower Full‐Scale Intelligence Quotient or developmental quotient (FSIQ/DQ) score and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS) composite score than the general Japanese population. Household education level and short stature were associated with low and borderline FSIQ/DQ and VABS composite scores, respectively. Among patients with low and borderline FSIQ/DQ scores, those with average or high VABS composite scores received significantly less neuroeducational care than those with low and borderline VABS composite scores. Despite the low FSIQ/DQ and VABS composite scores, the total QOL scores were higher than those of the general population.ConclusionPatients with BA had intellectual and behavioral impairments. Notably, patients with intellectual impairments are overlooked and not followed up, especially if adaptive skills are maintained.

Measuring quality of life in Japanese children: Development of the Japanese version of PedsQL

Abstract: The Japanese version of PedsQL can be applied in community and school health settings in Japan. Because children with chronic health needs and mental conditions were included, the Japanese version of PedsQL is expected to be useful in clinical settings.
