Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory
The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), developed by James Varni in 2001, is a validated, evidence-based patient-reported outcome measure assessing health-related quality of life in children and adolescents aged 2–18 years. Available in generic core scales and disease-specific modules, it measures physical, emotional, social, and school functioning, making it ideal for clinical research, outcome measurement, and population health surveillance.
