abstract = {Health related quality of life (HRQoL) in paediatric
patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is typically
measured using the patient reported outcome measure
IMPACT-III. This measure has not yet been validated for
German patients using the new 4-domain structure. As Germany
has a comparatively high prevalence of paediatric IBD and as
the IMPACT-III is the main HRQoL outcome measure in use, a
validation in the German population is overdue.To validate
the main patient reported outcome measure of health-related
quality of life (HRQoL) in paediatric patients with
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) IMPACT-III in a German
patient sample.Clinical and HRQoL data was gathered in the
CEDATA-GPGE registry. To determine the psychometric
performance of the IMPACT-III in a German sample,
distribution properties, reliability (Cronbach's alpha) and
validity (correlations with clinical values; known-groups
validity by age, sex, and self-rated health) were
calculated. In addition, a confirmatory factor analysis was
performed to determine the appropriateness of the factor
structure.The IMPACT-III was filled out by 221 patients
(Female $46\%;$ Mage=14.05; Morbus Crohn n = 126; Ulcerative
Colitis n = 79; unclassified IBD n = 18). The total score
ranged from 19.29 to 95.00, without the occurrence of
ceiling or floor effects. Internal consistency using
Cronbach's alpha was excellent (α = 0.91) for the total
scale. The total score correlated strongly with the
subscales of wellbeing (r = 0.90) and social functioning (r
= 0.80). Concerning validity, the subscale of wellbeing
correlated with self-reported health and clinical
assessments. Younger patients (< 14) reported a
significantly better HRQoL than older patients (14-17). The
4-domain structure of IMPACT-III could not be confirmed
through factor analysis.The German version of the IMPACT-III
is a valid and reliable instrument to measure HRQoL in
paediatric patients with IBD. The subscales of well-being
and social functioning explain most of the total score. To
interpret the subdomains of the IMPACT-III further research
in a longitudinal design needs to be done, especially with
age-related phrasing of the items.German Clinical Trials
