Hammer J, Memaran N, Huber WD, et al. - Researchers sought to develop and validate a test‐specific symptom questionnaire for the assessment of carbohydrate‐induced gastrointestinal symptoms in the pediatric population. They identified five relevant complaints were identified after a literature search and initial focus group‐style interviews. On a Likert‐type faces scale, responses were obtained with a language children use and understand. They implemented the questionnaire during breath tests in 215 pediatric individuals to establish its reliability, validity and responsiveness to change. A pediatrician who was blinded to the results of the questionnaire (n = 19) determined correlation between the questionnaire and a medical interview. Observations suggested the pediatric Carbohydrate Perception Questionnaire (pCPQ) as a simple, test‐specific questionnaire for a pediatric population and revealed it to have excellent psychometric properties for the assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms after carbohydrate ingestion.
