2018, Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchCitation Excerpt :Better generic HRQoL was found for younger compared to older children and adolescents with asthma [9]; a similar result was found in young patients with diabetes type 1 [10]. Some studies among children and adolescents with asthma, diabetes and JIA did not find a gender-specific difference in HRQoL [9,11], but most studies reported lower HRQoL for females compared to males with chronic conditions [12–14]. A higher socioeconomic status (SES) seems to be related to better generic HRQoL in children and adolescents with diabetes [15]; to our knowledge, no studies investigated this association in children and adolescents with asthma and JIA so far.

2018, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :In defining depression, 4 studies used a clinical diagnostic interview,5,9,12,48 46 studies used self-report questionnaires,4,6,8,10,11,13–37,39–47,49–55 and 1 did not report on the method used.38 For criteria of allergic disorders, physician diagnosis was used in 23 studies,4,5,10–12,15–20,23,24,26,30,31,34,36,41,44,50,51,53 and another 22 studies applied self-report questionnaires or telephone interview.6,8,9,13,21,22,25,27–29,32,33,35,39,42,43,45–47,49,52,55 In addition, 1 study used parent or guardian assessment54 and 1 study applied clinical tests.48
Experiences of Daily Life Among Adolescents With Asthma – A Struggle With Ambivalence
2017, Journal of Pediatric NursingThe Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice — 2016 Year in Review
2017, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In PracticeCitation Excerpt :The message to allergists/immunologists is to objectively monitor ICS use and provide feedback to improve adherence.17 Health-related quality of life during adolescence is impaired in asthma, particularly in those with uncontrolled asthma.18 Given the usual challenges with adolescence even in the absence of illness, greater attention is needed to improve asthma control in adolescence to enhance the quality of life of adolescents and allow them to better deal with adolescent challenges.
