Comparison between utility of the Thai Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scales and 3.0 Cerebral Palsy Module.

Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is increasingly being considered in the management of patients with various conditions. HRQOL instruments can be broadly classified as generic or disease-specific measures. Several generic HRQOL instruments in different languages have been developed for paediatric populations including the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.

Feasibility, reliability and validity of the Thai version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 3.0 cerebral palsy module.

Background: Quality of Life (QOL) and Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) are now considered as necessary outcome measures for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Various reliable and valid condition-specific HRQOL tools are available for these children. One of these is Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.

Identifying assessment measures and interventions reported for Thai children with cerebral palsy using the ICF-CY framework.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common disability in childhood. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a standard framework for classifying performance in people with disability, including children with CP. Linking measures actually reported with the ICF classification promotes best practice, especially pertinent in developing countries such as Thailand.
