Parent-child-agreement on health-related quality of life and its determinants in patients born with Esophageal Atresia: a Swedish-German cross-sectional study.

The parent-child agreement is mostly good, suggesting that parent-reports are a reliable source of information. However, discrepancies may occur and can be explained by the child's age, gender, and country (Sweden vs. Germany). Both perspectives are essential sources for treating EA patients and should not be considered right or wrong. Instead, this information broadens the perspective on pediatric EA patients.
