Do Parents and Children Agree? Quality‐of‐Life Assessment of Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Their Parents

Abstract

Parents served as a good proxy for quality-of-life ratings in this population of pediatric patients with IBD. The degree of concordance between parent and child scores, however, varied, as observed in the present study in which parents underreported their child's health-related quality of life on the IMPACT-III emotional functioning domain.
