New publication: Psychometric comparison of CHU9D and PedsQL 4.0 proxy version administered to parents of children with congenital colorectal conditions in Australia

The Economics of Genomics and Precision Medicine Unit recently published a paper  in The European Journal of Health Economics.

This paper assessed the psychometric performance CHU9D proxy version compared with the PedsQL in Australian children aged 0–7 years with anorectal malformations (ARM) or Hirschsprung disease (HD).

Findings showed that both measures demonstrated comparable and acceptable psychometric properties in children aged 2 years and above with ARM or HD. However, further work is needed to assess and potentially adapt the CHU9D for children under 2 years.
