2.3.2 PedsQLTM 3.0 EoE Module for teens and parent reports
The PedsQL 3.0 EoE Module consists of 3 versions for parents and children from 5–7 (young child), 8–12 (child), and 13–18 years (teens), and one for parents of children from 2 to 4 years (toddler).7 The PedsQL EoE Module for teens and parent reports encompasses 8 dimensions: Symptoms I (6 items); Symptoms II (4 items); Treatment (5 items); Worry (6 items); Communication (5 items); Food and Eating (4 items); Food Feelings (3 items) and Feeding Tube (2 items, this dimension not scored). The PedsQL™ 3.0 EoE module is a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (Never a problem) to 4 (Almost always a problem). Scores are linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale (0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0). Scale scores are based on sum of the responses to each item divided by the number of items. Higher scores indicate fewer problems. Feeding Tube Scale is included only for clinical purposes and is not included in the quantitative analyses.
