Effectiveness of Kinder Lebensqualität Fragebogen (KINDL) and Children’s Somatic Symptom Inventory-24 (CSSI-24) for measuring postacute sequelae of COVID-19 in children: a diagnostic validation study
KINDL and CSSI-24 are practical tools for screening for pediatric PASC in outpatient settings. A KINDL cutoff of 74.75 may help clinicians identify children with PASC who require early intervention. Further studies in larger and more diverse populations are required to validate these findings.
