Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Infant Scales120, 180, 275, and 365 days of age

Questionnaire. A 5-point response scale is utilized (0 = never a problem; 4 = always a problem). Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale (0 = 100, 1 = 75, 2 = 50, 3 = 25, 4 = 0), so that higher scores indicate better functioning (less negative impact).

Medically confirmed adverse events collected throughout the study periodup to 365 days of age
