Abstract

Little is known about the quality of life of patients with anaphylaxis to Hymenoptera venom. The Vespid Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire (VQLQ) is commonly used to assess the psychological burden of this condition. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Persian version of VQLQ. In this cross-sectional study, VQLQ was translated into Persian according to expert recommendations.  The final translated version of VQLQ was then administered to 115 patients with Hymenoptera venom allergy at an asthma and allergy clinic in Iran. More than half of the participants were between 20 and 40 years of age, and 60% were male. Fear, anxiety, and outdoor activities had the most significant impact on the quality of life of patients with Hymenoptera venom allergy. Additionally, quality of life was more affected in women than in men, while no correlation was found with age. Furthermore, the quality of life was affected by a history of acute anaphylactic shock due to Hymenoptera venom. The Persian version of VQLQ enables the measurement of quality of life in patients with Hymenoptera venom allergy in the Iranian population. The inclusion of VQLQ in the initial evaluation of these patients may potentially guide allergist in providing support for venom-specific immunotherapy.

伊朗膜翅目昆虫毒液过敏性休克患者生活质量研究
人们对膜翅目昆虫毒液过敏性休克患者的生活质量知之甚少。矢车菊过敏生活质量问卷 (VQLQ) 通常用于评估这种疾病的心理负担。本研究旨在评估波斯语版 VQLQ 的有效性和可靠性。在这项横断面研究中,根据专家建议将 VQLQ 翻译成了波斯语。 然后在伊朗的一家哮喘和过敏诊所对 115 名膜翅目毒物过敏患者进行了 VQLQ 的最终翻译版本测试。一半以上的参与者年龄在 20-40 岁之间,60% 为男性。恐惧、焦虑和户外活动对膜翅目昆虫毒液过敏患者的生活质量影响最大。此外,与男性相比,女性的生活质量受到的影响更大,而与年龄则没有相关性。此外,姬蜂毒液导致的急性过敏性休克病史也会影响生活质量。波斯语版的 VQLQ 可以测量伊朗人群中膜翅目昆虫毒液过敏患者的生活质量。在对这些患者进行初步评估时纳入 VQLQ,有可能指导过敏学家为毒液特异性免疫疗法提供支持。
