Study of Kids Itch Severity (SKIS)

There are many diseases that affect children where the primary symptom is pruritus. This
study aims to validate an age appropriate pediatric version of the ItchyQoL, a
pruritus-specific quality of life instrument, and the ItchyQuant, a self-reported itch
severity scale, to better understand how pruritus affects the pediatric population. These
instruments will comprehensively capture the severity and impact of pruritus in children. The
physicians want to explore the opportunity to integrate patient-reported outcome measures
(PROM) as a patient-reported tool in the ambulatory setting.
