摘要
We describe the design and validation process of a disease-specific health status instrument for use in children with tonsil and adenoid disease. This instrument is reliable and valid and should be useful in future outcomes research on tonsil and adenoid disease. Some of the unique issues and challenges regarding outcomes research in pediatric patients are also discussed.
