Population: In total 72 children took part in the clinical trial: 8 young children (6-7 years), 26 children (8-12 years) and 38 teenagers (13-17 years). Arms/Groups are reported on a "per intervention" basis

This questionnaire is a validated assessment of health-related quality of life in children developed by J.W. Varni, (1998). Scores are transformed on a scale from 0 to 100. higher values represent a better outcome
