Validation of Outcome Instruments for Pediatric Postthrombotic Syndrome: Introducing the Peds-VEINES-QOL, a New Health-Related Quality of Life Instrument.

 The MJ and MV scales detect similar outcomes in children following VTE. As used, the MJ is slightly more sensitive to QoL because a positive diagnosis requires pain which is the leading factor in reduced QoL following deep vein thrombosis. When using the MV, a requirement for pain or abnormal use to diagnose PTS would make the MV a better predictor of QoL.
