Pediatric Quality of Life Scale 3.0 SCD Module
Table II provides an overview of the descriptive analysis of the PedsQL 3.0 SCD module and nine domains. The mean score of the PedsQL 3.0 SCD module fell in the middle of the reference distribution (M = 59.36, SD = 19.58). Regarding the subscales, the lowest reported mean score was in response to communication II (M = 45.22, SD = 29.30), suggesting that respondents struggled most with communicating with others about having SCD. Examining the pain categories, respondents scored the lowest in the area of pain impact (M = 49.48, SD = 26.15), which implies that, as participants experienced painful events, it significantly disrupts their daily functioning.
