Outcomes of monthly video consultations as an add-on to regular care for children with type 1 diabetes: A 6-month quasi-randomized clinical trial followed by an extension phase.

Objective: To explore the outcomes of monthly video consultations for children with diabetes.

Methods: The Virtual Outpatient Diabetes Clinic for Children and Youth (VIDIKI) was a 6-month multicenter controlled clinical trial followed by an extension phase. The 240 participants (1-16 years), all using a CGM, were quasi-randomized by residence location to the intervention group (IG) or the waitlist-control group (WG).

Psychosocial benefits of insulin pump therapy in children with diabetes type 1 and their families: The pumpkin multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is on the rise among pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Metabolic effects alone cannot explain this rising popularity. From the patient's perspective, the main benefits of CSII may be found in subjective psychosocial health outcomes (patient-reported outcomes [PRO]).

Multicentre cross-sectional clinical evaluation study about quality of life in adults with disorders/differences of sex development (DSD) compared to country specific reference populations (dsd-LIFE).

Background: Previous studies in quality of life (QOL) in individuals with disorders/differences of sex development (DSD) have been restricted to subpopulations of the condition. We describe QOL in adult persons with DSD compared to country specific references and assess the impact of diagnosis.

Methods: The multicentre cross-sectional clinical evaluation (dsd-LIFE) took place in 14 specialized clinics in six European countries.

Health-Related Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy: A Secondary Analysis of the DISABKIDS Questionnaire in the Field-Study Cerebral Palsy Subgroup.

Introduction: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) instruments are increasingly being used to evaluate interventions and therapy outcomes in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). A variety of psychometrically sound and validated generic and disease-specific instruments are available. A third type of instrument, the chronic-generic instrument, pertains to features of HRQOL that are shared by various chronic conditions.

Cross-cultural development of a child health care questionnaire on satisfaction, utilization, and needs.

Objective: The instrument Child Health Care-Satisfaction, Utilization and Needs (CHC-SUN) has been developed cross-culturally to evaluate pediatric health care services for children with special health care needs (CSHCN) from the proxy perspective of parents.

Methods: The children of the participating parents received treatment in pediatric specialty clinics in 7 European countries for asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, rheumatoid arthritis, and atopic dermatitis. The instrument was developed through a process including literature review, expert consensus, and item generation through focus groups.
