“…Of 17 identified instruments, all but one43 were developed and validated using the English language (although in different versions). Six are intended for the broader population of children and young people with VI, irrespective of the eye condition (referred to as ‘all-cause generic VI instruments’) (table 2) and 11 for children with specific ophthalmic conditions (referred to as ‘eye disorder-specific instruments’) (table 3).…”

198/200; Main text 4099/4000. Refs 85; Tables 1; Figures 1; Appendices 7. 2 CHESS PROMs review Cephalgia FTC:110117 Re-submit 240517 Tables edited 270717 Structured Abstract: (198/200) Aims To critically appraise, compare and synthesise the quality and acceptability of multi-item PROMs for adults with chronic or episodic headache. Methods Systematic literature searches of major databases (1980-2016) to identify published evidence of PROM measurement and practical properties. Data on study quality (COSMIN), measurement and practical properties per measure was extracted and assessed against accepted standards to inform an evidence synthesis. Results From 10,903 reviewed abstracts, 103 articles were assessed in full; 46 provided evidence for 23 PROMs: eleven specific to the health-related impact of migraine (n=5) or headache (n=6); six assessed migraine-specific treatment response/satisfaction; six were generic measures. Evidence for measurement validity and score interpretation was strongest for two measures of impact-Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ v2.1) and Headache Impact Test 6-item (HIT-6), and one of treatment response-the Patient Perception of Migraine Questionnaire (PPMQ-R). Evidence of reliability was limited, but acceptable for the HIT-6. Responsiveness was rarely evaluated. Evidence for the remaining measures was limited. Patient involvement was limited and poorly reported. Conclusion Whilst evidence is limited, three measures have acceptable evidence of reliability and validity-HIT-6, MSQ v2.1 and PPMQ-R. Only the HIT-6 has acceptable evidence supporting its completion by all 'headache' populations.

“…In addition to their intense ocular discomfort, children with CAC often experience negative consequences because of the limitation of many of their preferred activities and social interactions [14]. These patients may also develop disease-related and/or iatrogenic complications with ocular morbidity and even blindness.…”

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of supratarsal injection of triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of refractory allergic keratoconjunctivitis in childhood. Thirty-five patients (70 eyes) with severe allergic keratoconjunctivitis were included in this study. Fifteen patients (42.8%) had atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) and 20 (57.2%) had vernal keratoconjuncivitis (VKC). All patients underwent a bilateral supratarsal injection of 20 mg triamcinolone acetonide. Mean follow-up was 28 months (range 14-38). All patients showed a significant symptomatic improvement and partial resolution of clinical features of keratoconjunctivitis within the first 2 weeks. Corneal complications related to keratoconjunctivitis disappeared in all patients. One patient with VKC experienced ocular hypertension. No patient with AKC showed side-effects. Severe relapse of the disease was noted in 10% of eyes with VKC and in 6.7% of eyes with AKC after a mean follow-up of 9 and 11 months, respectively. Supratarsal injection of triamcinolone acetonide is effective and safe in patients with severe chronic allergic keratoconjunctivits to relieve severe inflammation associated with this disease.

“…[44][45][46] The quality of life is reported to get worse if eye symptoms are added to the clinical picture in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, which supports the importance of eye involvement in allergic diseases. 34,47 As well as physical symptoms, psychiatric disorders, such as depression, is also reported to have negative effect on quality of life.…”
