Abstract

Background

The health-related quality of life (HRQL) of people with food allergies should be evaluated to provide high-quality medical care. Currently, there is no available easy-to-use and reliable instrument for assessing HRQL clinically in Japan.

Methods

The Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire 10 (FAQLQ10) in English was translated into Japanese, and this was referred to as the Japanese version of the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire 10 (FAQLQ10-J). Participants aged up to 18 years, who had food allergy, and their parents were instructed to complete the FAQLQ10-J and the Food Allergy Independent Measure, a self-report instrument. For comparison, participants without food allergies were also included in the survey.

Results

The FAQLQ10-J, which included forms for individuals aged 8–12 years, teenagers, and caregivers was developed. The responders completed each form within approximately 3 min. An analysis of responses showed that each form had a good internal consistency, test–retest reliability, construct validity, and discriminant validity. Moreover, based on an examination of the relationship between demographic data and FAQLQ10-J scores, items such as possession of an adrenaline auto-injector, participant age, and number of eliminated foods might influence HRQL.

Conclusions

We developed the FAQLQ10-J, which is a simple, reliable, and effective tool for assessing HRQL among Japanese individuals with food allergy. Its use may provide a more detailed understanding of HRQL among individuals with food allergy in clinical settings and may facilitate the development of more individual-oriented treatments.

食物过敏生活质量问卷 10 日语版：简便易用的工具

背景为了提供高质量的医疗服务，应该对食物过敏患者的健康相关生活质量（HRQL）进行评估。方法将食物过敏生活质量问卷 10 (FAQLQ10) 的英文版翻译成日文，并将其称为食物过敏生活质量问卷 10 的日文版 (FAQLQ10-J)。患有食物过敏症的 18 岁以下参与者及其父母在指导下完成了 FAQLQ10-J 和食物过敏症独立测量（一种自我报告工具）。为了进行比较，调查还包括没有食物过敏的参与者。答卷者在大约 3 分钟内完成了每份表格。对回答进行的分析表明，每份表格都具有良好的内部一致性、重测可靠性、构建有效性和判别有效性。此外，根据人口统计学数据与 FAQLQ10-J 分数之间关系的研究，拥有肾上腺素自动注射器、参与者年龄和排除食物的数量等项目可能会影响 HRQL。使用该工具可以更详细地了解临床环境中食物过敏患者的 HRQL，并有助于开发更多面向个体的治疗方法。

期刊介绍： The official pubication of the World Allergy Organization, the World Allergy Organization Journal (WAOjournal) publishes original mechanistic, translational, and clinical research on the topics of allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and clincial immunology, as well as reviews, guidelines, and position papers that contribute to the improvement of patient care. WAOjournal publishes research on the growth of allergy prevalence within the scope of single countries, country comparisons, and practical global issues and regulations, or threats to the allergy specialty. The Journal invites the submissions of all authors interested in publishing on current global problems in allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and immunology. Of particular interest are the immunological consequences of climate change and the subsequent systematic transformations in food habits and their consequences for the allergy/immunology discipline.
