Article Synopsis
- The study examined how accurately parents and children report changes in asthma symptoms over time in a group of 53 asthmatic kids.
- Parental reports were found to be more accurate than children's reports for children aged 6 to 10, while both were equally accurate for those 11 years and older.
- In both age groups, neither parental nor child reports showed a strong correlation with changes in lung function.
This cohort study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of parental and child's reports of changes in asthma symptoms. Fifty three asthmatic children and their parents were interviewed at enrollment and after 4 and 8 weeks. The outcomes were parental and child's reports of changes in asthma symptoms, changes in mean daily symptom scores and changes in pulmonary function.
