Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how feasible respiratory oscillometry (RO) is for asthma diagnosis in schoolchildren and its agreement with spirometry results.
- Both tests were conducted on 154 children aged 6 to 14, assessing factors like test validity, execution time, and difficulty.
- While RO needed fewer attempts and less time than spirometry, their results showed low concordance, raising questions about RO's reliability as a standalone diagnostic tool.
Introduction: The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire is important in order to assess the effects of therapeutic intervention. The aim of this study is to analyse HRQoL, comparing cases of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treated with methylphenidate (ADHD-T), untreated cases (ADHD-N), and controls.
Material And Methods: The study included a sample of 228 participants between 8 and 14 years old (114 controls, 57 ADHD-T, and 57 ADHD-N).
