“…Qualitative research methods could be introduced into the assessment of content validity, such as group focus interviews, and appropriate audio recording and trained interview facilitators should be used. For instrument FAQLQ‐12 (⑩，i.e., the short version of FAQLQ‐AF ③), 26 particular attention should be paid to the fact that its measurement properties should be assessed using data collected on the basis of the FAQLQ‐12 itself, rather than on the basis of data collected on the original long version of the instrument (FAQLQ‐AF).…”

Food allergies severely impact the health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients and their caregivers (family or informal caregivers). Currently there is no comprehensive review to provide an overview and critical assessment of the instruments in the field. Six databases were searched from inception until 10 August 2023, and a combination of subject terms and free words was used to search the literature. We used the COnsensus‐based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments methodology (COSMIN) to evaluate the measurement properties of the instruments. Forty‐one studies reported on ten eligible instruments. Based on COSMIN guidelines, one instrument was recommended for Grade A, and the remaining nine instruments were recommended for Grade B. The Grade A instrument identified, the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire‐Parent Form (FAQLQ‐PF), can help researchers assess the effectiveness of treatment for patients with food allergy and to understand the psychosocial impact of the disease on patients.

The 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) is a common instrument for measuring dimensions of emotional distress. In the present research, we tested across five studies (N = 2,096) whether the number of items could be reduced while maintaining high reliability and validity. Specifically, Item Response Theory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis reduced the number of items to 12, which we named Mini-DASS. Our findings revealed the Mini-DASS is as psychometrically robust as the DASS-21. Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis established its invariance across gender and three countries (Brazil, UK, and USA). The Mini-DASS and the DASS-21 demonstrated similar correlation patterns with other well-being measures and the five moral foundations. Notably, we observed negative correlations between depression, anxiety, stress, and the authority and loyalty foundations. In conclusion, the Mini-DASS is a parsimonious, reliable, and valid instrument for measuring depression, anxiety, and stress.

In adulthood, hen’s egg white allergy (EWA) is a rare condition and rising in prevalence. Typically, EWA begins in early childhood and resolves at school age. Persistence into adulthood or newly onset of the allergy has been reported, but scientific data is scarce. Symptoms reach from typical gastrointestinal problems to severe systemic reactions. EWA and the fear of allergic reactions lead to drastic restrictions in diet as in social life of the affected individuals. This study aims to assess health related quality of life (HRQoL) in adults with EWA using the validated questionnaire “Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire - adult form (FAQoLQ-AF)” and Food Allergy Independent Measure (FAIM). Between July 2023 and October 2023, 16 adults with hen’s egg white allergy were identified and questioned using the FAQoLQ-AF to evaluate HRQoL. Patients’ characteristics were obtained including age at allergy onset and the most severe allergic symptom. The results were summarized using descriptive statistical analysis. HRQoL was impaired in 16/16 allergic individuals with an overall mean score of 4.64/7 (SD 1.3). Self-assessed emotional impact of the EWA was more problematic than food allergy related health. Food Allergy Independence Measure (FAIM) mean score was 4.64 (SD 1.0) with highest result in product avoidance. The most frequent occurring symptoms were oral allergy syndrome and stomach pain in 7 (44%) patients each. This study shows impaired HRQoL in a small cohort of adults with hen’s egg white allergy using the FAQoLQ and FAIM questionnaire with special emphasis on emotional impact. We identified an urgent need for correct food labelling and research into safe treatment options to improve HRQoL.
