Overall, the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire revealed that CD had no substantial negative impacts on the children's QOL. However, some concerns from the children's perspective were identified, such as issues regarding relationships with their peers. These issues will need to be addressed in order to improve QOL in children with CD. What is Known: • According to the Spanish version of the specific CDDUX, parents and children felt CD had no substantial negative impacts on their HRQOL. What is New: • According to the generic KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire, QOL in Spanish coeliac children does not seem to be negatively affected by the disease in most general aspects of life. • Parents have a worse perception of their children's HRQOL than their children themselves.
