“…(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. With a better understanding of the different spectra encompassed by type and health measures, correlations on the order Field-test validation of the Brazilian version of the Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire…”

“…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.…”

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.

Excessive body weight is associated with additional loss of quality of life in children with asthma van Gent, R.; van der Ent, C.K.; Rovers, M.M.; Kimpen, J.L.L.; Essen-Zandvliet, L.E.M.; de Meer, G. Take-down policy If you believe that this document breaches copyright please contact us providing details, and we will remove access to the work immediately and investigate your claim.Downloaded from the University of Groningen/UMCG research database (Pure): http://www.rug.nl/research/portal. For technical reasons the number of authors shown on this cover page is limited to 10 maximum. Background: Asthma and excessive body weight frequently coexist, whereas the exact relationship between the 2 diseases is unknown. Objective: To study whether asthma combined with excessive body weight has a greater effect on quality of life in children than the separate effects of asthma or excessive body weight alone. Methods: In a cross-sectional design, 1758 school children (age 7-10 years) participated: 4 study groups were composed of children with asthma and with/without excessive body weight, and healthy controls with/without excessive body weight. Diagnosis of asthma was defined by either a doctor's diagnosis or by core questions of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire in combination with either reversible airway obstruction or bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Excessive body weight was defined by using international cutoff points for body mass index. Quality of life was evaluated by the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results: For all domains of quality of life, children with both asthma and excessive body weight had lower scores than children with either asthma alone or excessive body weight alone. Compared with healthy controls, the score was 25% lower in children with asthma and excessive body weight, 14% lower in children with asthma and normal weight, and only 1% lower in overweight controls. Conclusion: Excessive body weight is associated with an additional decrease in quality of life in children with asthma. Clinical implications: Clinicians should be aware of the interaction between asthma and excessive body weight and the effect on quality of life and should give extra attention to children with both conditions.

“…However, the number of studies conducted on child QOL and asthma remains limited. The majority of studies have focused on development and validation of disease-specific QOL instruments such as the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) (Raat et al, 2005;Tauler et al, 2001), or the impact of various treatments such as inhaled corticosteroids on QOL (Lemanske et al, 2002;Murphy, Fitzpatrick, Cruz-Rivera, Miller, & Parasuraman, 2003). Few studies have focused specifically on the impact of childhood asthma on QOL.…”
