functionality components in each questionnaire. More than half of
the content of the DISABKIDS® (DISABKIDS self and DISAB-
KIDS proxy ) is linked to the categories related to body function.
The CFQ versions (CFQ parents6–13 ; CFQ 6–11 ) were linked to a larger
number of categories that reached the 4 domains that make up
the ICF, namely body function (b), body structures (s), activities
and participation (d), and environmental factors (e), allowing a
broader assessment of health status. However, both questionnaires
(CFQ and DISABKIDS®) exhibit disadvantages in relation to the
biopsychosocial evaluation proposed by ICF, since they barely
address factors of the physical, social and attitudinal environment
in the HRQoL assessment process of children with CF.
