We report the development and initial validation of patient–derived, health related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires for intermittent exotropia (IXT). Cross-sectional study In a development phase, 27 children (aged 2–17 years) with IXT and one of their parents. In an initial validation phase, 33 children with IXT and 49 control children (aged 5–17 years) along with one parent for each child. Children in the control group had no strabismus or amblyopia. Individual patient interviews generated 35 items for Child and Proxy (parental assessment of child’s HRQOL) questionnaires and 46 items for a Parent questionnaire. To reduce to a feasible number of items, questionnaires were administered to 5–17 year old children with IXT (n=15) and parents of 2–17 year old children with IXT (n=27). Responses were analyzed using standard item reduction methodology. Three final derived IXT questionnaires (IXTQ): Child, Proxy, and Parent (12, 12, and 17 items respectively) were administered to children with IXT and control children, and to parents of IXT and control children. Likert-type scales ranging from ‘never’ (score 100, best HRQOL) to ‘almost always’ (score 0, worst HRQOL) were used for responses. Median scores for IXT and control groups, compared using Wilcoxon tests. Median Child scores were significantly lower (worse HRQOL) in the IXT group compared with the control group: 85 (quartiles 73–92) versus 92 (79–96); P=0.04. Median Proxy IXTQ scores were significantly lower for IXT children than controls: 83 (75–94) versus 98 (92–100); P<0.0001. Median Parent IXTQ scores were also significantly lower in the IXT group compared with the control group: 68 (quartiles 56–79) versus 93 (87–99); P<0.0001. We have developed and validated a new 3-part patient-derived HRQOL questionnaire for children with IXT and their parents, comprising Child, Proxy and Parent questionnaires. These questionnaires detect reduced HRQOL in children with IXT as reported by the child themselves and as perceived by their parents (proxy report). Childhood IXT also appears to affect the HRQOL of the parents. The IXTQ HRQOL questionnaires may prove useful in the clinical assessment of IXT and for clinical trials.
