The validated Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM questionnaires (PedsQLTM) are globally used for measuring the quality of life of children who suffer from diabetes mellitus and cerebral palsy. In the Czech Republic, the PedsQLTM questionnaires are used very little. The goal of this review article is to inform experts and the wider public about the use of the validated PedsQLTM questionnaires in families with children who suffer from diabetes mellitus and cerebral palsy. We used the content analysis of documents/studies that are focused on the validated PedsQLTM questionnaires which deal with children who suffer from diabetes mellitus and cerebral palsy. We used the databases of WOS, Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Scopus. The results of our analysis show that the PedsQLTM questionnaires are globally used. The PedsQLTM questionnaires have been translated into 109 world languages (the generic module; other special modules have been translated into fewer languages) including Czech. Despite this fact, these questionnaires are not very known in the Czech Republic, nor used for measuring the quality of life of children and their families. The results of the studies confirm the usefulness of the PedsQLTM questionnaires in our goal group, i.e. children who suffer from diabetes mellitus and cerebral palsy.
