“…Surprisingly, a couple of studies indicate that food-induced breathing difficulties or asthma is a factor predicting 'not so bad' QoL in children; that is, better QoL than in children with asthma but no food allergy [38] and better QoL than in children with other adverse food reactions than breathing difficulties [29 ]. By contrast, food induced gastrointestinal symptoms seem to have a major negative impact on parents [29 ], adolescents and young adults [22,23 ,24 ].…”

Although development in this research field has only just begun, it is obvious that food hypersensitivity has a significant impact on individuals' and families' QoL. An important advance is the disease-specific QoL measure instruments that have been created. There is still, however, a need for a more in-depth knowledge as a basis for further development of QoL instruments, and as a basis for societal interventions and family/individual support.

“…A PubMed database search (March of 2009) for PAQLQ validation studies rendered 13 articles, 8 of which were cultural validation studies. (19,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) Of those, there were two different reports of the validation of the Spanish-language version and one regarding the independent Brazilian version previously mentioned. However, among those studies, diverse methodologies were used to assess the properties.…”

“…(23) In two other studies, only the convergent validity of the PAQLQ was reported (23,27) ; only one study evaluated floor/ceiling effects (23) ; and we were surprised to find that, in another study, no psychometric assessment was performed, the authors justifying that omission by stating that they had found scores similar to those reported in the original PAQLQ study, and that that would be sufficient to consider their validation appropriate. (22) In a validation study, the number of validity and reliability components included should be sufficient to provide an overview of its psychometric performance. (7) Correlations between the PAQLQ scores and FEV 1 were similar to what has previously been reported, (24)(25)(26) and the lack of strong correlations is no surprise.…”

Objective: To assess the psychometric properties of the official Brazilian Portuguese-language version of the Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) in a representative group of Brazilian children and adolescents with asthma. Methods: A total of 125 individuals with asthma, aged 8-17 years and being monitored at a pediatric pulmonology outpatient clinic in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, completed the PAQLQ. Validity was assessed by means of convergent validity (correlation between PAQLQ domains and those of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0. Reliability was assessed by determining internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient), reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient), sensitivity to change (effect size), and discriminatory power (floor/ceiling effects). Results: The mean age was 11 years, and 75 (60%) of the participants were male. The mean PAQLQ total score was 5.1, with floor/ceiling effects < 10%. Correlations between PAQLQ domains and the PedsQL 4.0 domains were acceptable (r = 0.37-0.40). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total score was 0.93, ranging from 0.72 to 0.88 for the domains. The overall effect size was 0.60 (range: 0.45-0.60), whereas the overall intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.80 (range: 0.66-0.79). Conclusions: The official Brazilian Portugueselanguage version of the PAQLQ showed good psychometric performance, confirming its cultural adequacy for use in Brazil.

ÖZGiriş: Çalışmada persistan astım tanısı ile izlenen çocuklarda ve adölesanlarda düzenli inhale steroid tedavisi sonrası Astımlı Çocuklarda Yaşam Kalite Ölçeği (ÇAYKÖ)'ndeki değişikliğin cinsiyete göre incelenmesini amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem:Persistan astım tanısı ile izlenen ancak düzenli inhale steroid tedavisi almayan 7-17 yaş arasındaki olgular alındı. Olguların sosyodemografik özellikleri kaydedildikten sonra solunum fonksiyon testi (SFT), astım kontrol testi (AKT) ve ÇAYKÖ uygulandı. Altı haftalık inhaler tedavi sonrası SFT, AKT ve ÇAYKÖ tekrarlandı. Cinsiyete göre SFT, AKT ve ÇAYKÖ skorları karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Çalışma 27'si (%43.5) kız toplam 62 olgu ile yapıldı. Kız olguların geliş ve tedavi sonrası SFT parametrelerinden %FEV1 ve FEV1/FVC oranı erkeklere göre istatistiksel olarak yüksek iken (p<0.05) ilk geliş ve düzenli tedavi sonrası kızların ÇAYKÖ skorlarından duygusal işlev skoru, faaliyet kısıtlaması skoru ve toplam skorunun erkeklere göre istatistiksel olarak düşük olduğu görüldü (p<0.01). AKT skoru ilk gelişte kız ve erkeklerde benzer iken, düzenli tedavi sonrası erkeklerde kızlara göre anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu (p=0.025). Olguların astım nedeniyle yapmakta en çok zorlandığı faaliyetler sırasıyla; kızlarda koşma (%88.6), merdiven çıkma (%54.3) ve tepeye tırmanma (%22.9) iken erkeklerde bu sırayı koşma (%83.3), futbol (%73.8) ve merdiven çıkma (%28.6) aldı.Sonuç: Cinsiyet astım tanısı ile izlenen çocuklarda yaşam kalitesini etkilemektedir. Kızların hastalıklarına daha duygusal ve subjektif yaklaşmaları nedeniyle yaşam kalitesinin daha düşük olduğunu düşünmekteyiz. ABSTRACTObjective: The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of gender differences using the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) following daily inhaler corticosteroid therapy in children and adolescents with persistent asthma. Materials and Methods:Children between 7-17 years of age with a diagnosis of persistent asthma who were not on daily inhaler corticosteroid therapy were involved. At enrollment, sociodemographic and asthmatic characteristics were investigated and pulmonary function test (PFT), asthma control test (ACT) and PAQLQ were administered. Patients were reevaluated following six weeks of regular inhaler therapy and ACT, PAQLQ and PFT were repeated. The scores from these tests were compared by gender. Results:Out of 62 patients, 27 (43.5%) were female. Although the mean FEV1% and the mean FEV1/FVC ratios of PFT for girls both at enrollment and following 6 weeks of daily inhaler therapy were statistically higher than the ratios for boys, the mean symptom scores, and activity scores and total scores of PAQLQ were significantly lower in girls both at enrollment and following therapy. The mean ACT scores for girls and boys were similar at enrollment but were significantly higher in boys following daily inhaler therapy (p=0.025). The activities with the most limitation due to asthma were running (88.6%), going upstairs (54.3%) and climbing (22.9%) for girls and running (83.3%), playing footbal...
