Abstract

Objective This study examined the inter-rater agreement between child-self and parental proxy health-related quality of life (HRQoL) ratings (overall and domain level) using two different generic child-specific measures, the Child Health Utility 9D (CHU9D) and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQLTM), in a community-based sample of Australian children. A secondary objective was to investigate the impact of age on child–parent agreement across the dimensions of the two measures. Methods A total of 85 child–parent dyads (children aged 6–12 years) recruited from the community completed the self and proxy versions of the CHU9D and the PedsQLTM, respectively. The inter-rater agreement was estimated using Concordance Correlation Coefficients (CCC) and Gwet’s Agreement Coefficient (AC1) for the overall sample and across age-groups. Results Agreement was low for overall HRQoL for both the CHU9D (CCC = 0.28) and the PedsQLTM (CCC = 0.39). Across the CHU9D dimensions, agreement was the highest for ‘sad’ (AC1 = 0.83) and lowest for ‘tired’ (AC1 = 0.31). The PedsQLTM demonstrated stronger agreement (AC1 = 0.41–0.6) for the physical health dimension but weaker for the psychosocial dimensions (AC1
