Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL)
Parent report of total HRQL was positively correlated with both mean
cognitive score (r = .310, p = .023) and mean academic score (r =
.323, p = .018); but child reported HRQL scores did not
demonstrate a significant relationship with cognitive or academic mean
scores. Statistically significant differences on cognitive mean scores
(t(51) = 2.18, p = .035) and academic mean scores (t(52) =2.65, p = .011) were found when comparing performance between
patients rated above and below the cutoffs for parent reported total
HRQL (Varni et al., 2003). For review of scores, see Table 3.
