Reduced quality of life (QoL) is a known consequence of chronic disease in children, and this association may be more evident in those who are socio-economically disadvantaged. The aims of this systematic review were to assess the association between socio-economic disadvantage and QoL among children with chronic disease, and to identify the specific socio-economic factors that are most influential. MEDLINE, Embase and PsycINFO were searched to March 2015. Observational studies that reported the association between at least one measure of social disadvantage in caregivers and at least one QoL measure in children and young people (age 2-21 years) with a debilitating non-communicable childhood disease (asthma, chronic kidney disease, type 1 diabetes mellitus and epilepsy) were eligible. A total of 30 studies involving 6957 patients were included (asthma (six studies, n = 576), chronic kidney disease (four studies, n = 796), epilepsy (14 studies, n = 2121), type 1 diabetes mellitus (six studies, n = 3464)). A total of 22 (73%) studies reported a statistically significant association between at least one socio-economic determinant and QoL. Parental education, occupation, marital status, income and health insurance coverage were associated with reduced QoL in children with chronic disease. The quality of the included studies varied widely and there was a high risk of reporting bias. Children with chronic disease from lower socio-economic backgrounds experience reduced QoL compared with their wealthier counterparts. Initiatives to improve access to and usage of medical and psychological services by children and their families who are socio-economically disadvantaged may help to mitigate the disparities and improve outcomes in children with chronic illnesses.

“…Poorly controlled asthma can be very disruptive to the daily life activities for the child through increased school absences, impaired sleep, and restricted social and physical activity (Dean et al, 2010; Wildhaber, Carroll & Brand, 2012), resulting in lower child quality of life (Amaral, Moratelli, Palma, & Leite, 2014). The burden of asthma exacerbations likewise reverberates throughout families who describe substantial psychosocial, caregiving, and financial stresses (Crespo, Carona, Silva, Canavarro, & Dattilio, 2011; Sampson et al, 2013a; Sampson et al, 2013b), beyond the fear of seeing their child struggling to breathe.…”

Introduction The intent of this analysis was to examine the longitudinal effects of risk and protective factors on quality of life (QOL) in caregivers of minority children with asthma. Method Caregivers (n=300) reported on demographics, child asthma characteristics, daily asthma caregiving stress, general life stress, social support and QOL. Latent growth curve modeling examined changes in QOL across 12 months as a function of stress, asthma control, and social support. Results Caregivers were primarily the biological mother (92%), single (71%), unemployed (55%), and living in poverty. Children were African American (96%), Medicaid eligible (92%), and had poorly controlled asthma (93%). Lower QOL was associated with higher life stress, greater asthma caregiving stress, and lower asthma control over time. Discussion Findings underscore the importance of assessing objective and subjective measures of asthma burden and daily life stress in clinical encounters with urban, low-income caregivers of children with poorly controlled asthma.

“…In Brazil, a search of adolescents with asthma, found that of 114 adolescents interviewed, most had less than 15 years old and were male gender [11]. It can be observed that the results of a survey conducted in Australia, came to corroborate the data of the Brazilian study and shows that asthma has a higher incidence in males than in females.…”

Objective: to analyze the scientific literature about the socioeconomic profile of children and adolescents with chronic disease. Method: This is an integrative literature review held from October 2015 to April 2016, through the virtual libraries LILACS, PUBMED and SciELO considering published studies in Spanish, English or Portuguese languages, using the following keywords: children; adolescent; chronic disease; chronic illness, factors socioeconomics. Results: were selected and analyzed 18 articles that meet the inclusion criteria of this study. It was noted that the scientific publications describe the demographic profile and social and economic variables of children and adolescents with chronic diseases, in a secondary manner, based on a specific chronic disease. Conclusion: its relevant and necessary consider to describe in detail the socioeconomic profile of children and adolescents with chronic diseases so that other elements such as risk and social vulnerability can be included in the integral care process to this clientele.
