Abstract
Objective: to describe the applications of the five most used scales in the world for measuring quality of life related to the health of adolescents, by region and study population, 1963-2013. Methods: Systematic review of scientific literature published in the past five decades. A research protocol was applied with search terms, inclusion and exclusion criteria, quality assessment of articles and information extraction; this was carried out by two investigators to confirm reproducibility. The analysis was based on absolute and relative frequencies in SPSS 21.0. Results: the search identified 3,789 studies of which 548 met the research protocol and included 573,648 teenagers. The regions with the highest number of publications were America (44.5%) and Europe (37.8%). Most investigations corresponded to sick people. Among the instruments analyzed the most frequent was PedsQL (47.4%). In studies using PedsQL the largest proportion was for endocrine and metabolic diseases (15%), KIDSCREEN was the most used scale in healthy population (24%), CHQ in caregivers (30%), MOSSF in intervention studies (23%) and KINDL in validation studies (22%). Conclusion: the research allowed generating a usage profile of the most common tools in the assessment of quality of life related to adolescents' health, which emphasizes that PedsQL predominates in diseased populations, KIDSCREEN in healthy population and in CHQ in the parent s' version.
