“…Second, the EQ-5D-Y has limited ability to differentiate small and (or) moderate health impairments in general population samples because it only offers three functional levels for response choice [8]. Hence, the development of the EQ-5D-Y with five levels response options (EQ-5D-5LY) is supported [21,22]. Meanwhile, the ceiling effects was less evident in the secondary school sample compared to the elementary school sample and it also had more health states, indicating a large variability of health status in the sample.…”

“…The EQ-5D-Y has demonstrated feasibility, validity, and reliability in both healthy and unhealthy children and adolescents in many countries [8,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. A few Asian language versions have been available including simplified and traditional Chinese versions; both of them have been validated recently [12,21,22]. On the other hand, no study has yet to test it in either rural population or minority population in mainland China, which could have substantial differences in socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and health status in comparison with those living in urban areas or are Han ethnicity.…”

Background: To measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of elementary and secondary school students in rural China using the simplified Chinese version of the EQ-5D-Y. Method: Both the samples of students were from a school-based cohort study in a county located in southwestern China. The students self-completed the EQ-5D-Y. Feasibility was evaluated according to the percentages of missing values. Known group validity was assessed by comparing the frequency of reporting EQ-5D-Y problems between groups known to differ in health status. Results: A total of 1728 elementary students and 2116 secondary students were included in the analysis. Their respective mean age was 8.7 (range: 7-15) years and 14.8 (range: 11-18) years, with girls being 45.1 and 50.1%, respectively. The missing values in both samples were quite low. Elementary students were less likely to have problems on'having pain or discomfort' and 'feeling worried, sad or unhappy' dimensions, but more likely to report problems on the dimensions related to physical functioning. Gender difference in HRQOL was only detected for secondary students in terms of 'doing usual activities', 'having pain or discomfort,' and 'feeling worried, sad or unhappy' (P < 0.05 for all). The significant differences in HRQOL were not observed for the other characteristics. Conclusions: It appears that the EQ-5D-Y is feasible and valid instrument in school-aged children and adolescents in rural China; but it suffers from similar disadvantages to those found in other general populations. The HRQOL distributions measured by the EQ-5D-Y were also provided.

“…Skeletal maturity [8], in-brace correction [11], curve magnitude [12], flexibility [13][14][15] and compliance with brace wearing [16] are significant factors influencing the outcomes of brace treatment. However, bracing can be stressful for patients, induce a flatter back [17], and negatively affect quality of life (QoL) [18][19][20][21][22][23]. Additionally, most braces are uncomfortable to wear, resulting in poor brace-wearing compliance [24].…”

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common pediatric spinal deformity with reported complications including pain, mental health concern and respiratory dysfunction. The scoliosis-specific exercise (SSE) is prescribed throughout pubertal growth to slow progression although effects are unclear. This review aims to establish the effectiveness of SSE for alleviating AIS in terms of reducing Cobb angle, improving trunk asymmetry and quality of life (QoL). Additionally, it aims to define the effects of age, skeletal maturity, curve magnitude and exercise compliance on the outcomes of SSE. Methods: A systematic reviewed was conducted to net SSE articles. Searched databases included PubMed, MEDL INE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL and Google scholar. The quality of study was critically appraised according to the PEDro scale. Results: A total of ten trials with an average PEDro score of 6.9/10 were examined in this study. Two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two clinical controlled trials suggested that SSE alone and with bracing or traditional exercise had clinical significance in reducing Cobb angle more than 5°. One RCT specifically implicated no comparable effects between bracing and SSE in prevention of curve progression for moderate scoliosis. There was insufficient evidence to support the positive effects of SSE on improving truck asymmetry (n = 4) and QoL (n = 3). Five studies evaluated the interaction effects of age (n = 2), skeletal maturity (n = 1) and curve magnitude (n = 2) with SSE in reducing Cobb angle yet without drawing any firm conclusions. Conclusions: Insufficient evidence is available to prove that SSE with or without other conservative treatments can reduce Cobb angle, improve trunk balance and QoL. The interaction effects of age, skeletal maturity, curve magnitude, and exercise compliance with SSE in reducing Cobb angle are not proven. Future studies should investigate the relationship of influencing factors and SSE in treating AIS but not only testing its effectiveness. Trial registration: INPLASY202050100.

“…Feasibility of the EQ-5D-Y-3L has been supported in previous studies by valid responses provided by; 90% [18], 100% [19]; 100% [22]; 96% [23], of the respondents. The EQ-5D-Y-5L has been compared to the EQ-5D-Y-3L in terms of ceiling effects and reliability [26] and in terms of responsiveness [27] among young scoliosis patients.…”

Background: Psychiatric disorders have a major individual and societal impact. Until now, the association between health-related quality of life and physical disorders has been far more investigated than the association with psychiatric disorders. Patient-reported outcome measures makes it possible to capture the patient perspective to improve treatments and evaluate treatment outcomes. The aim of this study is to measure health-related quality of life with the EQ-5D-Y-5L among patients in child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient care and to test the instrument's psychometric properties in terms of feasibility and construct validity. Methods: Data were collected at the child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient facility in Region Stockholm. A questionnaire including the EQ-5D-Y-5L instrument, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire with an impact supplement and a self-rated health question, was administered for self-completion using paper and pencil, with an interviewer present. The Chi-square test was used to investigate differences in proportion of reported problems in the EQ-5D-Y-5L dimensions and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for differences in mean EQ VAS scores. Feasibility was assessed by investigating proportion of missing and ambiguous answers and Spearman's and Pearson's correlation were used to examine construct validity. Results: In total 52 adolescents participated in the study and the majority were girls. The most common diagnosis at admission was depressive episode/recurrent depressive disorder. All participants reported problems on at least one dimension. Most problems were reported in the dimension 'feeling worried, sad or unhappy', where 64% reported severe or extreme problems. Mean EQ VAS score was 29.2. Feasibility was supported and construct validity indicated as some of the hypothesised correlations between the EQ-5D-Y-5 L and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire were found, however, for 'doing usual activities' and 'having pain or discomfort' the correlations were weaker than hypothesised.
