Assessing the burden of childhood asthma: validation of electronic versions of the Mini Pediatric and Pediatric Asthma Caregiver’s Quality of Life Questionnaires

摘要: To validate electronic versions of the Mini Pediatric and Asthma Caregiver’s Quality Life Questionnaires (MiniPAQLQ PACQLQ, respectively), determine completion times correlate QOL children caregivers. A total 63 64 caregivers completed paper MiniPAQLQ or PACQLQ. Agreement between each questionnaire was summarized by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). The PACQLQ scores from child–caregiver pairs assessed using Pearson’s coefficient. There no significant difference (mean difference = 0.1, 95 % CI −0.1, 0.2) in Overall Scores (5.9 ± 1.0, mean ± SD) (5.8 ± 1.0) versions, any domains. ICCs ranged 0.89 (Overall) to 0.86 (Emotional Function). for both were comparable (5.9 ± 0.9 5.8 ± 1.0; mean difference = 0.0; 0.2). 0.81 (Activity Limitation) 0.88 took 26 s longer (95 % 11, 41; p < 0.001). Few participants (3–11 %) preferred format. significantly correlated (all p < 0.05) (r paper = 0.33, r electronic = 0.27) Emotional Function domains paper = 0.34, electronic = 0.29). These questionnaires are valid, asthma-related is related.
