The Effect of Asthma on the Quality of Life in Children

Abstract

Background: Asthma is one of the most prevalent respiratory disorders, causing considerable morbidity and death among people of all ages. Objective: This paper aims to study and analyze the effect of asthma on the quality of life in children.

Patients and methods: This paper studied and analyzed the effect of asthma on the quality of life in children with ages under 13 years were divided into two groups to patients and controls. The data collected were got on patients with 65 cases from 18th March 2021 to 24th July 2022 in different hospitals in Iraq. The collected data were estimated and designed by the SPSS program.

Discussion: Our study noted that chest tightness, coughing, and difficulty breathing affect the difficulty of recovering from asthma patients, which increases the risk of developing asthma. With regard to complications, our study found that most of the complications were found to be difficult to control in asthmatic patients of the pediatric patients' group compared to the control group.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the current results show that 70% of children with high obesity may be more susceptible to asthma than those with less obesity, than they may be at constant risk during childhood and adolescence. In addition, this study found comorbidities such as allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and obesity, as well as inappropriate and successful inhalation techniques for multivariate predictors of asthma performed in patients with high obesity over the control group, which had less obesity.
