Contribution of caregiver and child anxiety and depressive symptoms to child asthma-related quality of life
2024, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyQuality of Life and Health Outcomes in Overweight and Non-Overweight Children With Asthma
2017, Journal of Pediatric Health CareCitation Excerpt :In asthma research examining QOL in both adults and children, minimal to moderate impairment has been found except in subjects recently hospitalized for an acute exacerbation (Annett, Bender, Lapidus, Duhamel, & Lincoln, 2001; Luskin et al., 2014; Okelo et al., 2004).
The Adolescent with Asthma
2014, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Families of adolescents with severe asthma report higher rates of psychological disturbances.46 Higher rates of parent psychological difficulties have not been found for children/adolescents with mild to moderate asthma.47 Other research has indicated that parental stress and depression at baseline increase a child's inflammatory profile over a six-month period, which is seen in both a healthy cohort and children with asthma.48
The clinician's guide on monitoring children with asthma
2013, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :The instruments have all been validated to a certain degree (usually comprising internal consistency, reliability and concurrent associations with other disease outcomes), although all suffer from psychometric or generalizability limitations.21 Although at group level, QOL correlates with poor asthma control and reduced lung function,22,23 children with similar degrees of asthma control or lung function impairment differ considerably in their QOL, which is partly explained by psychological problems, anxiety and depression.24,25 The current consensus appears to be that QOL instruments in childhood asthma provide independent additional information on disease status, complementing symptom scores and lung function.26,21
Health Outcomes in Atopic Dermatitis
2012, Dermatologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Disease-severity measurements can include objective clinical parameters that assess degree of erythema, exudation, and excoriations; they can also include subjective criteria such as itching and sleep disturbance. Quality of life is defined as the perception of disease impact on physical, psychological, and social well-being.5,6 Disease-severity scales in atopic dermatitis include disease-specific and non–disease-specific scales.
