Scoring:
The Pediatric Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (PQ-LES-Q) has 15 items. The first 14 are used to form a Total Score (see below). The fifteenth item is used as a “stand alone” measure.
The first 14 items are summed to form a total score. It can be reported as a Raw Total Score (range 14-84) or as a Percentage Maximum Possible Total Score. The %MAX Total Score is most frequently used.
%MAX= raw total score minus minimum score/maximum score minus minimum score
If items are left blank, the minimum and maximum score must be modified to reflect the number of items scored.
The 1/3 rule is usually used for excluding subjects who have no score for 1/3 or more of the items. Some investigators use different rules for excluding subjects.
