Despite this, there are no validated instruments that specifically measure QoL related to bronchiectasis in children. We aimed to develop and validate a new bronchiectasis child-specific parent-proxy QoL instrument (BC-QoL).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We developed a draft 44-item BC-QoL and subsequently conducted a prospective cohort study in which 142 parents completed the draft BC-QoL and six other measures (two validated cough scores; the Parent-proxy Children's Acute Cough-specific QoL questionnaire; the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale \u2013 21-items; the RAND-36; and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL\u2122 4.0)) to assess the convergent and discriminant validity of the BC-QoL. The questionnaires were completed over 3\u2005weeks at different phases of a child's illness (stable state, exacerbation and\/or recovery). Responses were analysed using psychometric and clinical impact techniques to reduce the number of items and determine the instrument's reliability and validity. The minimal important difference (MID) was also calculated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The final 23-item BC-QoL instrument with its three domains (emotional, physical and social well-being) demonstrated high split-half reliability (0.95), Cronbach's alpha (0.97), repeatability (intraclass coefficient 0.74, 95% CI 0.62\u20130.82), validity and responsiveness. BC-QoL's domains significantly correlated with those of the PedsQL\u2122 4.0 (Spearman correlations: emotional=0.43, social=0.41, physical=0.47). BC-QoL's MID ranged from 0.74 to 1.32.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides evidence supporting the validity and reliability of BC-QoL.
