      in Turkish Children.

AB  - PURPOSE: Food allergy (FA) affects the daily lives of children and parents in 
      varying degrees. The Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire-Parent Form 
      (FAQLQ-PF) is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the quality of life (QoL) 
      of children from parents' perception. The aim of this study was to validate and 
      determine the reliability of the Turkish FAQLQ-PF and to assess QoL in 
      food-allergic children. METHODS: Children aged between 0 and 12 years and 
      diagnosed with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated FA for at least 1 month were 
      enrolled. The English FAQLQ-PF was translated into Turkish according to the World 
      Health Organization guidelines. The Food Allergy Independent Measure and the 
      Turkish Child Health Questionnaire-Parent Form 50 were used for construct 
      validity. RESULTS: One hundred and fifty-seven patients participated. The median 
      age of patients and FA duration were 2.4 years (1.2-5.2 years, 
      interquartile-ranges) and 2 years (0.8-5.1), respectively. Ninety-six (61.1%) 
      patients had anaphylaxis. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intra-class 
      correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was good for all age groups 
      of children (<4, 4-6, and 7-12 years). Patients with either asthma or anaphylaxis 
      had worse scores than others. Total scores of FAQLQ-PF tended to increase with 
      age. Patients aged 7-12 had the highest total scores among all patients (2.2+/-0.1, 
      3.0+/-0.2, and 3.3+/-0.3 for <4, 4-6, and 7-12 years, respectively, P<0.001, P for 
      trend <0.001). Other factors causing the poor QoL were cow's milk allergy, 
      sibling allergy, mother's age over 30 years, mother's high education level and 
      lower number of persons in household. CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish FAQLQ-PF is a 
      valid and reliable scale. FA-related QoL was significantly worse with age. 
      Coexistent asthma, anaphylaxis regardless of its severity, cow's milk allergy, 
      sibling allergy and the older and educated mothers seem to poorly affect QoL.
