The internal consistency of the translated tool was analysed in a clinical group composed of 200 patients with special healthcare needs aged between 18 months and 18 years. They were consecutively enrolled at the Rare Disease Unit, Paediatrics Department, Fondazione Policlinico Agostino Gemelli\u2010IRCCS, Rome. For test\u2013retest reliability, 50 caregivers filled in the PEDI\u2010EAT\u201010 questionnaire for a second time after a 2\u2010week period. Construct validity was established by comparing data obtained from patients with data from healthy participants (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 200).
