Resumo: | Introduction: Quality of life in children suffering from asthma and/or allergic rhinitis seems to be lower than in healthy children. However, there are few studies of the effect of asthma and allergic rhinitis on the quality of life of children. The objective of this study is to find if quality of life in children correlates with the control of asthma and allergic rhinitis evaluated by the CARATKids test. Methods: In an observational study the EQ-5D-Y and the CARATKids instruments were applied to a sample of children aged from 6 to 12 years old, diagnosed with asthma or allergic rhinitis. After obtaining written informed consent, the children and their parents completed both questionnaires. Results were analyzed with the Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 17.0. Descriptive analysis was used for the characterization of the sample. Parametric and non-parametric tests were performed, including chi-squared, Mann-Whitney U and Student t-tests, after data normality was observed. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered for significant difference. Results: Forty-seven children, with a mean age of 9.34 years were studied. The sample had 72.3% male children. Most of them had a family history of atopic disease, were living in an urban area and had pets at home. The mean score of CARATKids was 4.64 (in a possible score range from 0 to 13). The mean quality of life score, using the EQ-5D-Y, was 0.33. QoL scores in the first quartile (“very good”) or second quartile (“good”) were found in 68.1% of the sample. The mean visual analogue scale (VAS) quality of life score was 85.30±16.65 with a Median of 90.00. “Very good” Quality of Health was reported by 15 patients. Using a Pearson correlation, to evaluate the correlation between CARATKids and EQVAS, we found that there is a significant negative correlation (p= -0.37). With more positive answers given by the children, the parents, or both, in the CARATKids instrument, the QoL in the Visual Analogue Scale was lower. Quality of Life was relatively high and was influenced by the degree of control of asthma or allergic rhinitis. Conclusion: The CARATKids test has good correlation with quality of life in children measured by the EQ-5D-Y. CARATKids can be used in clinical practice, to control asthma and allergic rhinitis and to improve QoL in children. |

Quality of life and control of asthma and/or allergic rhinitis in children: Correlative study with CARAT Kids and ED-5D-Y.

A rinite alérgica, apesar de ser sub-diagnosticada, também é um problema de saúde global com prevalência crescente. A rinite é frequentemente associada à asma e representa um fator de risco para esta. 60-80% das crianças asmáticas têm rinite alérgica e 40% dos pacientes com rinite alérgica têm asma concomitante. Ambas as patologias têm o poder de afetar a qualidade de vida das crianças. Assim, a qualidade de vida nas crianças diagnosticadas com estas doenças, parece ser inferior à das crianças saudáveis. No entanto, existem poucos estudos sobre o efeito da asma e da rinite alérgica sobre a qualidade de vida em crianças. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é a associação entre a qualidade de vida em crianças e o controle da asma ou rinite alérgica avaliada pelo CARATKids. Ao diagnosticar e tratar a asma e a rinite alérgica nas crianças, podemos melhorar a sua qualidade de vida. Métodos: A amostra incluiu crianças de 6 a 12 anos, com diagnóstico de asma ou rinite alérgica que atenderam à consulta externa de Imunoalergologia pediátrica do centro hospitalar Amato Lusitano em Castelo Branco. Após a obtenção do consentimento informado, as crianças e seus pais completaram os dois questionários selecionados: The Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test – Kids version (CARATKids) and the The EuroQOL Five Dimensions questionnaire – Youth version (EQ-5D-Y). Os dados recolhidos foram analisados com o Pacote de Software de Ciências Sociais (SPSS), versão 17.0. Uma análise descritiva foi utilizada para caracterizar a amostra. Testes paramétricos e não paramétricos foram realizados, incluindo o qui-quadrado, Mann-Whitney U e teste t de Student, após ser observada normalidade dos dados. Um valor-p inferior a 0,05 foi considerado para diferença significativa em todos os testes utilizados. Resultados: O estudo contou com quarenta e sete participantes, com idade média de 9,34 anos (crianças dos 6 aos 12 anos). A amostra tinha 72.3% de crianças do sexo masculino. A maioria tinha diagnóstico de rinite alérgica, história familiar de atopia, vivia em área urbana e tinha animais de estimação em casa. A pontuação média do CARATKids foi 4,64 (num intervalo possível de 0 a 13). A qualidade de vida, usando o EQ-5D-Y, obteve uma média de pontuação de 0,33. Os resultados da qualidade de vida no primeiro quartil (“muito bons”) e no segundo quartil (“bons”) foram encontrados em 68,1% da amostra. A média do EQVAS foi de 85,30 ± 16,65, com mediana de 90,00. Muito boa qualidade de saúde foi relatada por 15 pacientes. Usando uma correlação de Pearson, para avaliar a correlação entre CARATKids e EQVAS, descobrimos que existe uma correlação negativa significativa (p=-0.37): Quanto mais respostas positivas dadas pelas crianças, pelos pais ou ambos, no CARATKids, menor sua qualidade de vida na Escala Visual Analógica. A qualidade de vida foi relativamente elevada e foi influenciada pelo grau de controlo da asma ou da rinite alérgica. Conclusão: O teste CARATKids tem boa correlação com o grau de qualidade de vida em crianças avaliadas pelo EQ-5D-Y. O CARATKids pode ser usado na prática clinica para controlar a asma e a rinite alérgica e para melhorar a qualidade de vida destas crianças.Santiago, Luiz Miguel de Mendonça SoaresuBibliorumResende, Carla Sofia dos Santos2018-07-16T16:23:03Z2015-4-22015-06-032015-06-03T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.6/5126TID:201642425enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-12-15T09:42:41Zoai:ubibliorum.ubi.pt:10400.6/5126Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T00:46:06.433265Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
