Refinement of the Child Amblyopia Treatment Questionnaire (CAT-QoL) using Rasch analysis.

CONCLUSION: The refined CAT-QoL instrument includes the following items: sad, feeling on face, hurt, doing work at school, how other children treat you, doing things, worried and playing with friends. The CAT-QoL can be Rasch scored, with a range of 0-16 where a greater value indicates a worse quality of life (or greater impact of treatment on the individual). The CAT-QoL may be useful in determining how amblyopia treatment affects children, and offers an alternative to generic patient reported outcome measures.
