Özet
Objective: To investigate and compare the efficiency of general and disease-specific life quality scales in children with asthma. Methods: Children with asthma, and their parents completed the Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT), Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), and also underwent spirometry. Results: 82 children (55 males) with a median (IQR) age of 10.1 (8.9-10.5) years were included. C-ACT, PAQLQ and PedsQL child scores were significantly higher in children with controlled asthma. Conclusions: Quality of life in children, assessed using diseasespecific quality of life measures, is better for children with good asthma control.
