Quality of Life Assessment in Childhood Asthma: A Cross-Sectional Validation of the Mini-Version of Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire in Indian Children
摘要
The Mini Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (MiniPAQLQ) was evaluated for its utility in assessing the quality of life (QoL) in children with asthma. One hundred and thirty-nine children aged 7–16 years were assessed using the MiniPAQLQ and standard asthma control tools, including the Asthma Control Test, Asthma Control Questionnaire, and Global Initiative for Asthma criteria. Higher MiniPAQLQ scores correlated strongly with better asthma control across all measures. Regression analysis demonstrated significant association between MiniPAQLQ scores and asthma control indices. The MiniPAQLQ is a valid instrument for assessing QoL and reflects asthma control in pediatric patients.
