To determine the applicability of the generic instrument Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4.0) to assess health-related quality of life of asthmatic children compared to the specific instrument Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ).
This research involved the evaluation of 30 children aged seven to eleven years, who had been diagnosed with asthma for at least six months prior to research. Both quality of life questionnaires were applied to children by an interviewer over the period of one day. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0, with significance level set at 5%.
No differences in quality of life was found when genders were compared. Asthmatic children classified as practitioners and non-practitioners of physical activity had different scores in the physical health-related domain (PedsQL 4.0). The scores of children with different levels of asthma severity and control were significantly different in two out of three domains evaluated by PAQLQ. When assessed by PedsQL 4.0, no significant difference was observed as to quality of life of children with different levels of asthma control and severity. Quality of life measurements of asthmatic children by PedsQL 4.0 and PAQLQ instruments had a moderate and significant correlation (r=0.415, p=0.02).
PedsQL 4.0 could distinguish children practicing different levels of physical activity, but it was not sensitive enough to distinguish health-related quality of life among children with different levels of asthma severity and control.
与特定的《儿童哮喘生活质量问卷》（PAQLQ）相比，确定通用工具《儿童生活质量量表》（PedsQL 4.0）评估哮喘儿童健康相关生活质量的适用性。
本研究纳入了30名7至11岁的儿童，这些儿童在研究前至少已被诊断为哮喘6个月。由一名访谈者在一天的时间内对儿童应用这两种生活质量问卷。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）20.0进行数据分析，显著性水平设定为5%。
比较性别时，未发现生活质量存在差异。被分类为体育活动参与者和非参与者的哮喘儿童在与身体健康相关的领域（PedsQL 4.0）得分不同。在PAQLQ评估的三个领域中的两个领域，不同哮喘严重程度和控制水平的儿童得分存在显著差异。当通过PedsQL 4.0进行评估时，不同哮喘控制水平和严重程度的儿童在生活质量方面未观察到显著差异。用PedsQL 4.0和PAQLQ工具对哮喘儿童进行的生活质量测量具有中等程度的显著相关性（r = 0.415，p = 0.02）。
PedsQL 4.0能够区分体育活动水平不同的儿童，但在区分不同哮喘严重程度和控制水平儿童的健康相关生活质量方面不够敏感。
