Objective:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic esophageal inflammatory condition with a paucity of information on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The objective of the study was to report on the measurement properties of the PedsQL EoE Module.Methods:The PedsQL EoE Module was completed in a multisite study by 196 pediatric patients with EoE and 262 parents of patients with EoE.Results:The PedsQL EoE Module scales evidenced excellent feasibility (0.6%-3.1% missing), excellent group comparison reliability across total scale scores (patient 0.93; parent proxy 0.94), good reliability for the 7 individual scales (patient 0.75-0.87; parent proxy 0.81-0.92), excellent test-retest reliability (patient intraclass correlation coefficient 0.88; parent intraclass correlation coefficient 0.82), demonstrated no floor effects and low ceiling effects, and demonstrated a high percentage of scaling success for most scales. Intercorrelations with the PedsQL Generic Core Scales were in the medium (0.30) to large (0.50) range. PedsQL EoE Module scores were worse among patients with active histologic disease (5 eos/hpf) compared with those in remission (patient self-report: 63.3 vs 69.9 [P
