p-value: p=<.001
The Pediatric Cardiac Quality of Life Inventory (PCQLI) is a valid and reliable tool for assessing quality of life in children and adolescents with congenital and acquired heart disease.
Marino et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart disease (n=1,605). Pediatric Cardiac Quality of Life Inventory (PCQLI) was evaluated on Construct validity and test-retest reliability (p=<.001). The Pediatric Cardiac Quality of Life Inventory (PCQLI) demonstrated strong construct validity and excellent test-retest reliability (r=0.78-0.90; P<.001) in pediatric patients with heart disease.
