“…No difference was found in the total HRQoL sum score between children and adolescents with type I diabetes and healthy peers, whereas QoL scores for school achievement and psychological wellbeing were higher in healthy peers. In another study, Kojima et al, using a Japanese version of KINDL [6], showed that the QoL of children with asthma was significantly impaired.…”

“…We preferred to use the Turkish version of the KINDL questionnaire because there has been no kidney-diseasespecific QoL measurement in Turkish children. Additionally, the questionnaire includes separate generic forms for young children and adolescents, as well as a parent-proxyreport versions [16], and it is also practical and easy to use [3,6,7,13,17,18,22]. In the literature, there many studies in which the KINDL was used as the QoL measure in children with different health problems.…”

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) defines QoL as "the individuals' perception of their position in life in the context of culture and value systems in which they live, and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards, and concerns" [2]. QoL has been investigated in several acute and chronic diseases in children such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, phenylketonuria, asthma, bipolar disorders, and scleroderma [3][4][5][6][7]. However, there are only a few studies concerning QoL in children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis therapy or after renal transplantation [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Herein the results of a multicenter study from the Turkish Pediatric Kidney Transplantation Study Group are reported. The aims of this study were to compare the quality of life (QoL) scores of Turkish children who are dialysis patients (DP), renal transplant recipients (TR), and age-matched healthy controls and to compare child-self and parent-proxy scores. The Turkish versions of the Kinder Lebensqualität Fragebogen (KINDL(R)) questionnaires were used as a QoL measure. The study group consisted of 211 children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (139 TR and 72 DP aged between 4-18 years; 13.7 +/- 3.5 years) from 11 university hospitals, 129 parents of these patients, 232 age-matched healthy children and adolescents (aged between 4-18 years; 13.1+/-3.5 years) and 156 of their parents. Patients with CKD had lower scores in all subscales except for physical well-being than those in the control group. TR had higher scores in physical well-being, self-esteem, friends' subscales, and total scores than DP. Child-self scores were lower than parent-proxy scores, especially in CKD, DP, and control groups. Concordance between parent-proxy and child-self reports in the TR, DP, CKD, and control groups was only moderate for the majority of subscales (r = 0.41-0.61). It was concluded that parent-proxy scores on the QoL were not equivalent to child-self scores and that evaluating both children's and parents' perspectives were important. Additionally, psychosocial counseling is crucial not only for patients with CKD but also for their parents.

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction: Burden and prevalence

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is common in asthma patients as well as athletes. This article provides an overview of the prevalence and impact on quality of life (QoL) of EIB based on an analysis review of selected literature. The term EIB is preferred to exercise-induced asthma because EIB does not cause asthma, and asthma is not a prerequisite to have EIB. EIB is extremely common in asthma patients and is reported in most asthma patients. Several factors may increase the prevalence of EIB including severity of asthma, family history of asthma, atopy, respiratory infections, and urbanization. Some studies also suggest EIB is more common in girls than boys and in younger-age children. EIB also occurs in athletes, even without asthma. The prevalence of EIB varies among sports with some of the highest rates observed in Nordic combined, cross-country, and short track Winter Olympic athletes. Environmental factors may have a role in EIB including chlorine in swimmers and particulate matter exposure from fossil-fueled ice resurfacing machines in ice arena athletes. Accumulating evidence indicates that the burden of EIB impairs QoL. EIB is a common condition in asthma patients and athletes and adversely affects the QoL and the ability to participate in sports.

Exercise-Induced Asthma is Associated with Impaired Quality of Life Among Children with Asthma in Japan

Abstract: Existence of EIA among asthmatic children most strongly impairs their QoL. We should be more cautious about the management of EIA.
