儿童哮喘健康转归检测的特征
2012/04/06
前言:儿童哮喘健康转归检测(PAHOM)主要用于测定哮喘患儿的质量调整生命年(QALYs)。本研究旨在比较父母和儿童主诉的PAHOM评分的关系,及其两者与父母主诉的Juniper哮喘控制问卷评分(ACQ)和医生诊断的哮喘控制间的关系。
方法:自2008年5月~2010年5月,通过哮喘门诊入选非洲裔美国儿童及其父母(n=261)。比较不同评价工具和不同研究对象之间的评分相关性及其差异。计算各评分与医生诊断的哮喘控制相比的敏感性和特异性。
结果:父母和患儿主诉的PAHOM评分存在显著差异,分别为0.91(0.13)和0.95(0.08)(P<0.01),相关性较差(0.24)。父母主诉的PAHOM评分和父母主诉的ACQ(5个项目的版本[ACQ5])存在中等程度相关(-0.69)。父母和患儿主诉的PAHOM评分能区分医生诊断的哮喘控制较好和不好(分别为P<0.01)。与医生诊断的哮喘控制相比,父母主诉的PAHOM评分和ACQ5的受试者工作特征曲线下面积相似(P=0.11),但两者鉴别哮喘控制的效能高于患儿主诉的PAHOM评分(P<0.01)。
讨论:PAHOM评分与ACQ评分和医生诊断的哮喘控制间存在中等程度相关性,验证了PAHOM评分在评价哮喘控制中的作用。虽然该测试可能用于哮喘儿童,但需指出的是,父母主诉的PAHOM评分是医生判断哮喘控制的一个较好的预测因子。
结论:有必要在不同经济水平和不同种族的人群中验证上述结果。目前,我们推荐将PAHOM用于哮喘患儿及其父母。

Abstract
INTRODUCTION:The Pediatric Asthma Health Outcome Measure (PAHOM) was designed to measure quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in children with asthma. Our objective was to compare parent- and child-reported PAHOM scores to each other, to parent-reported scores on the Juniper Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), and to physician-rated asthma control.
METHODS:A convenience sample of primarily African-American parent-child dyads (N = 261) was recruited from asthma clinics between May 2008 and May 2010. Correlations and differences in scores between the instruments and respondents were compared across variables of interest. The sensitivity and specificity of each, relative to physician-rated asthma control, were estimated.
RESULTS:Mean (SD) parent- and child-reported PAHOM scores were significantly different, 0.91 (0.13) and 0.95 (0.08), respectively, (p < .01) and were weakly correlated (0.24). Parent-reported PAHOM and parent-reported ACQ, 5-item version (ACQ5) scores were moderately correlated (-0.69). Both the parent- and child-reported PAHOM scores distinguished between physician-rated well-controlled and not well-controlled asthma (p < .01 and p < .01, respectively). When compared with physician-rated asthma control, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the parent-reported PAHOM and the ACQ5 were similar (p = .11), but both performed better than the child-reported PAHOM (both p < .01).
DISCUSSION:The validity of the PAHOM is supported by its moderate correlation with the ACQ and its association with physician-rated asthma control. Although intended to be administered to children, parent-reported scores were better predictors of physician-rated asthma control.
CONCLUSIONS:A validation study in a more economically and ethnically diverse population is needed. Until then, we recommend the PAHOM to be administered to both parents and children.
