“…Globally, psychometric testing for the CHU-9D with adolescent populations has been extensive and includes the development of UK and additional normative value sets in Peru [ 31 ], Spain [ 32 ], Sweden [ 33 ] and Netherlands [ 34 ], as well as measuring the impact of specific conditions on adolescent QOL, such as inflammatory bowel disease (Canada) [ 35 ] and oral/dental health conditions (Netherlands and New Zealand) [ 36 , 37 ]. Validity, reliability, feasibility and overall intelligibility/acceptability have been tested in the context of Swedish school-aged children [ 33 ], Danish children receiving mental health care (longitudinal, discriminant and convergent validity) [ 38 , 39 ] and in the UK education setting [ 40 ], and the tool has been evaluated for appropriateness of inclusion in economic evaluations [ 41 ].…”

Globally, we have seen a drop in adult and child quality of life (QOL) during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about adult or child QOL during the height of the pandemic in Australia and the impact of government-imposed restrictions, specifically attending school on-site versus home schooling. Our study aimed to establish if QOL in children and parents presenting to a Respiratory Infection Clinic in Victoria, Australia, for COVID-19 PCR testing differed from pre-pandemic population norms. We also explored whether on-site versus home schooling further impacted QOL. Following the child’s test and prior to receiving results, consenting parents of children aged 6 to 17 years old completed the Child Health Utility 9 Dimension (CHU9D) instrument on their child’s behalf. Parents of children aged birth to five years completed the EuroQOL 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) instrument on their own behalf (cross-sectional study). Data analyses utilised quantile regression, adjusting for the child’s age, COVID-19 symptoms, gender and chronic health conditions. From July 2020 to November 2021, 2025 parents completed the CHU9D; the mean age for children was 8.41 years (±3.63 SD), and 48.4 per cent were female (n = 980/2025). In the same time period, 5751 parents completed the EQ-5D-5L; the mean age for children was 2.78 years (±1.74 SD), and 52.2 per cent were female (n = 3002/5751). Results showed that QOL scores were lower than pre-pandemic norms for 68 per cent of the CHU9D group and 60 per cent of the EQ-5D-5L group. Comparing periods of on-site to home schooling, there was no difference between the median QOL scores for both CHU9D (0.017, 95% CI −0.05 to 0.01) and EQ-5D-5L (0.000, 95% CI −0.002 to 0.002). Our large-scale study found that while QOL was reduced for children and parents at the point of COVID-19 testing during the pandemic, differing levels of government-imposed restrictions did not further impact QOL. These unique insights will inform decision-making in relation to COVID-19 and future pandemics.
