Unchanged health is defined using self-reported general health change variable with answer of “about the same.” Landis and Koch’s guidelines, with coefficients ≤ 0.2: poor agreement, 0.21–0.40: fair agreement, 0.41–0.60: moderate agreement, 0.61–0.80: substantial agreement, and ≥ 0.81: almost perfect agreement. *PedsQL school function is only available for children going to school/kindergarten/preschool (2-day unchanged health: n = 46, 46, 44 for school dimensions 1, 2, 3; 4-week unchanged health: n = 228, 228, 226 for school dimensions 1, 2, 3)
