Variables selected based on AIC criterion and models estimated using OLS. The estimation sample was used (N = 674). See Table S2 for a listing of the PedsQL items included in the CYPHP mappings. To use these mappings, parameter estimates should be multiplied by the observed demographic and PedsQL score values. For example, the CHU9D value for a 10-year-old individual, with a total PedsQL score of 75 would be equal to 0.58679 + (− 0.00272 * 10) + (0.00484 * 75) + (− 0.00001 * 752) = 0.866
