Measuring health-related quality of life in infants and toddlers
Measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the very young (i.e., infants and toddlers, aged 0–47 months) presents unique conceptual and methodological challenges. As infants and toddlers cannot reliably self-report their HRQoL, observer inference is necessary. This raises questions about which concepts should be included; how to manage proxy reporting; and how to capture genuine variations in HRQoL, not changes in development or assessme…
Developing the EuroQol toddler and infant populations (EQ-Tips) instrument
The EuroQol Toddler and Infant Populations (EQ-TIPS) is an experimental generic measure of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), for which preference weights are planned. Expert consultation aimed to (a) review EQ-TIPS V2.0 wording and content, (b) discuss possible uses for the new measure and challenges with instrument development. Semi-structured online focus group consultations were conducted with three expert groups: (1) EuroQol member expe…
EuroQol Toddler and Infant Populations (EQ-Tips)
There is an age-related difference in the reporting of items linked to developmental milestones (movement, play, and communication) with most problems reported in the 36-48-month group when deviation from peers and continued dependence on caregivers is notable. Consideration should be given to including broader examples of play in the EQ-TIPS. Redefining the items to represent social communication and/or (social) emotion, rather than communicatio…
Performance of the EQ-5D-Y Interviewer Administered Version in Young Children
(1) Background: An estimated 78% of South African children aged 9-10 years have not mastered basic reading, therefore potentially excluding them from self-reporting on health-related outcome measures. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the performance of the EQ-5D-Y-3L self-complete to the newly developed interviewer-administered version in children 8-10 years. (2) Methods: Children ( n = 207) with chronic respiratory illnesses, functiona…
Performance of the Toddler and Infant (Tandi) Health-Related Quality of Life Instrument in 3–4-Year-Old Children
The Toddler and Infant (TANDI) dimensions of Health-Related Quality of Life assess 'age appropriate' behaviour and measurement could be extended to older children. A sample of 203 children 3-4 years of age was recruited, and their caregivers completed the TANDI, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and EQ-5D-Y Proxy. Spearman and Pearson's correlation coefficients, and Kruskal-Wallis H-test were used to explore the feasibility, known-grou…
