The KIDSCREEN questionnaires were developed by a collaborative effort of European pediatric researchers for use in epidemiologic public health surveys, clinical intervention studies, and research projects. The article gives an overview of the development of the tool, summarizes its extensive applications in Europe, and describes the development of a new computerized adaptive test (KIDS-CAT) based on KIDSCREEN experiences.
The KIDSCREEN versions (self-report and proxy versions with 52, 27, and 10 items) were simultaneously developed in 13 different European countries to warrant cross-cultural applicability, using methods based on classical test theory (CTT: descriptive statistics, CFA and MAP, internal consistency, retest reliability measures) and item response theory (IRT: Rasch modeling, DIF analyses, etc.). The KIDS-CAT was developed (in cooperation with the US pediatric PROMIS project) based on archival data of European KIDSCREEN health surveys using IRT more extensively (IRC).
Research has shown that the KIDSCREEN is a reliable, valid, sensitive, and conceptually/linguistically appropriate QoL measure in 38 countries/languages by now. European and national norm data are available. New insights from KIDSCREEN studies stimulate pediatric health care. Based on KIDSCREEN, the Kids-CAT promises to facilitate a very efficient, precise, as well as reliable and valid assessment of QoL.
The KIDSCREEN has standardized QoL measurement in Europe in children as a valid and cross-cultural comparable tool. The Kids-CAT has the potential to further advance pediatric health measurement and care via Internet application.
KIDSCREEN 问卷由欧洲儿科研究人员合作开发，用于流行病学公共卫生调查、临床干预研究和研究项目。本文概述了该工具的开发过程，总结了其在欧洲的广泛应用，并描述了基于 KIDSCREEN 经验开发的新的计算机自适应测试（KIDS-CAT）。
KIDSCREEN 版本（自我报告和代理版本，分别有 52、27 和 10 个项目）在 13 个不同的欧洲国家同时开发，以保证跨文化适用性，使用基于经典测试理论（CTT：描述性统计、CFA 和 MAP、内部一致性、重测信度测量）和项目反应理论（IRT：Rasch 建模、DIF 分析等）的方法。KIDS-CAT 是根据欧洲 KIDSCREEN 健康调查的档案数据，与美国儿科 PROMIS 项目合作开发的，使用了更广泛的 IRT（IRC）。
研究表明，迄今为止，KIDSCREEN 在 38 个国家/语言中是一种可靠、有效、敏感且概念上/语言上适当的生活质量测量工具。有欧洲和国家的标准数据。来自 KIDSCREEN 研究的新见解刺激了儿科保健。基于 KIDSCREEN，Kids-CAT 有望促进生活质量的高效、精确、可靠和有效评估。
KIDSCREEN 已经在欧洲标准化了儿童的生活质量测量，成为一种有效的、跨文化可比的工具。Kids-CAT 有可能通过互联网应用进一步推进儿科健康测量和护理。
