The aim is to examine studies evaluating the life quality of children suffering from chronic cough over the last 10 years, concentrating on three areas: the development and validation of new tools, the cultural adaptation of existing tools, and the usage of common tools.
A series of digital explorations were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases to find pertinent literature. The selection of literature adhered to specific criteria for its inclusion and exclusion. Analytical methods are documented in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, identified by the registration number CRD42024583481.
Our collection encompassed 3,186 records, culminating in the inclusion of 14 studies. One study concentrated on the development and validation of a new assessment tool. The study evaluated the dependability, accuracy, and responsiveness of the child cough specific quality of life questionnaire (CC-QoL), but the number of participants was notably small. Research focusing on the creation and verification of localized language editions of current tools was absent. Thirteen studies, predominantly from China and Australia, employed quality of life (QoL) evaluation instruments as the outcome metrics. Chinese studies employed a wide range of evaluation instruments. Research in Australia employed the parent cough specific quality of life questionnaire (PC-QoL).
Over the last 10 years, minimal research has been conducted on the creation, application, and cultural modification of QoL evaluation instruments for chronic cough in children.
旨在回顾过去10年评估慢性咳嗽儿童生活质量的研究，重点关注三个方面：新工具的开发与验证、现有工具的文化适应性以及常用工具的使用情况。
在PubMed、Web of Science、EMBASE和Cochrane图书馆数据库中进行了一系列数字检索，以查找相关文献。文献的选择遵循特定的纳入和排除标准。分析方法记录在国际前瞻性系统评价注册库中，注册号为CRD42024583481。
我们共收集到3186条记录，最终纳入14项研究。其中一项研究专注于一种新评估工具的开发与验证。该研究评估了儿童咳嗽特异性生活质量问卷（CC-QoL）的可靠性、准确性和反应性，但参与者数量明显较少。缺乏针对现有工具本地化语言版本的创建和验证的研究。13项研究主要来自中国和澳大利亚，采用生活质量（QoL）评估工具作为结局指标。中国的研究使用了多种评估工具。澳大利亚的研究采用了家长咳嗽特异性生活质量问卷（PC-QoL）。
在过去10年中，关于儿童慢性咳嗽生活质量评估工具的创建、应用和文化适应性的研究极少。
