Meeting Abstract
Abstract
Background: It has been previously shown with English speaking
children that food allergy clearly affects their quality of life. The first
allergy quality of life questionnaire has been validated in English in
2008, however to date no questionnaire was available in French.
Objectives: To validate the French version of the Food Allergy Quality
of Life Questionnaire- Parent Form (FAQLQ-PF) already existing
version developed and validated in English by DunnGalvin et al.
Methods: The questionnaire was translated from English to French by
two independent French-speaking translators and retranslated by an
independent English-speaking translator.
We then recruited 30 patients between 0 and 12 years with a food
allergy. Parents of these children answered the questionnaire during a
clinic visit. The results obtained were then analysed and compared
with the results provided by DunnGalvin's study and the Food Allergy
independent Measure (FAIM).
Results: 27 questionnaires were fully completed and available for
analysis. Median age was 6 years with a range from 18 months to
12 years. We had a girl/boy ratio of 1:1.14. A Cronbach's a correlation
index of 0.748 was found. Validity was demonstrated by significant
correlations between FAQLQ-PF and the FAIM.
Conclusion: The French version of the FAQLQ was validated and will
permit to assess degree of Quality of Life for French-speaking children
with food allergy. It will be an important tool for clinical research and
will allow research collaboration between French and English speaking
research teams.
