ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
No questionnaire aimed at evaluating the quality of life (QOL) of children with food allergies has been developed in Japan. Therefore, this study was aimed at developing a Japanese version of a QOL questionnaire for children with food allergies to be responded to by their parents.METHODS:
A 59-question primary questionnaire was developed for parents of children aged 0 to 15 years who had food allergies. Responses to the primary questionnaire were collected, and question items were reduced using factor analysis. Then, a secondary questionnaire consisting of nine questions was developed. The secondary questionnaire, the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire - Parent Form (FAQLQ-PF), and the parent-reported questionnaire on health-related quality of life in children and adolescents (KINDL) were administered to parents of children aged 3 to 15 years who had food allergies.RESULTS:
Overall, 342 parents completed all questionnaires. The QOL scores of the secondary questionnaire were significantly correlated to those of the FAQLQ-PF (r=0.765) and weakly correlated to those of the KINDL (r=-0.358). In addition, QOL scores were significantly worse in patients with a history of anaphylaxis, who were prescribed an adrenaline auto-injector, and who were allergic to hen's eggs, cow milk, or wheat.CONCLUSION:
We were able to develop a parent-reported validated Japanese version of the QOL questionnaire for children with food allergies.Palavras-chave
