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.

[开发和验证由家长报告的食物过敏儿童生活质量问卷]。

目的：日本尚未开发出旨在评估食物过敏儿童生活质量（QOL）的问卷。因此，本研究旨在为食物过敏儿童编制一份日语版的生活质量问卷，供其父母回答：方法：为 0 至 15 岁食物过敏儿童的父母编制了一份包含 59 个问题的初级问卷。收集了对初级问卷的答复，并通过因子分析减少了问题项目。然后，编制了由九个问题组成的二级问卷。我们向 3 至 15 岁食物过敏儿童的家长发放了二级问卷、食物过敏生活质量问卷--家长表（FAQLQ-PF）和家长报告的儿童和青少年健康相关生活质量问卷（KINDL）：共有 342 位家长填写了所有问卷。二次问卷的 QOL 分数与 FAQLQ-PF 的 QOL 分数呈显著相关（r=0.765），与 KINDL 的 QOL 分数呈弱相关（r=-0.358）。此外，有过敏性休克病史、使用肾上腺素自动注射器以及对鸡蛋、牛奶或小麦过敏的患者的 QOL 评分明显较低：结论：我们能够为食物过敏患儿编制一份由家长报告的、经过验证的日语版 QOL 问卷。

期刊介绍： The Japanese Society of Allergology is made up of medical researchers and clinical physicians who share an involvement in the study of allergies and clinical immunology. Clinical subspecialties include such allergies and immune-response disorders as bronchial asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, collagen disease, allergic rhinitis, pollenosis, hives, atopic dermatitis, and immunodeficiency. However, there are many patients afflicted by other allergies as well. The Society considers all such patients and disorders within its purview.
