PedsQL Sickle Cell Disease Module
The PedsQL Sickle Cell Disease Module is a disease-specific instrument developed by Varni et al. in 2012 to measure quality of life in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease aged 2–18 years. Measuring across domains including pain and symptoms, functional limitations, school impact, and disease-related worry, it captures how sickle cell disease and its complications affect daily life and well-being. Used alongside the PedsQL Generic Core Scales, it provides comprehensive assessment of sickle cell disease-specific and general health-related quality of life.
