The influence of bronchial asthma control level on the quality of life indices

Abstract

The study of quality of life in sick children is one of major directions in modern medicine, being an integral part of complex analysis of novel diagnostic methods, treatment and prevention of bronchial asthma. The indices of physical, emotional, social and school functioning are significantly lower in the children with uncontrolled course of bronchial asthma.Senior schoolchildren with PC BA have more problems with physical activity, emotional state and studies at school, as compared to junior schoolchildren with PC BA, while considerable decrease in indices of physical activity, emotional state, social adaptation and study at school in both age categories of children is observed, this being caused by the absence of control over the symptoms of the disease.
