Quality of life (QoL) is a multidimensional and multifaceted component through which person measures domains of life. In children, these domains vary according to the developmental stage. Recent researches are focusing on QoL assessment, but it is still comparatively less researched area in pediatrics. More disease-specific tools need to be developed to assess QoL at each developmental stage.
