The different sensitivity of these two instruments, confirmed in a previous longitudinal study in the context of inpatient rehabilitation for children with chronic conditions [42], reflect the conceptual approach and purposes that guided their development. adaptation to short stature have been described in the literature [28], but most of them are common for average height populations rather than specific for this condition.…”

“…Well-known measurement tools in German speaking countries are for example “Disabkids” and “Kidscreen”. Both tools are interculturally developed questionnaires to assess the health-related quality of life of children and adolescents 164 .

Morettin et al [163] concluded that the measurement of pediatric quality of life comprises different concepts and methods. Regarding children using CI, the results show that it is difficult to develop a comprehensive concept which identifies the quality of life important for children and how these areas may develop further during childhood taking into account the multitude of the evaluated instruments and aspects.…”
