Abstract
The current overview article highlights specific features of defining chronic illnesses in children with a view on recent methodological developments. Methodological advantages and potential pitfalls of these approaches are discussed. Epidemiological trends are reported taking these definitions and methodological approaches into account. The conceptual interrelationships with other constructs in the area of health service research, for instance quality of life, are demonstrated.
