Abstract
Bronchial asthma (BA) is still one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, in spite of the increasing costs for its treatment. The goals of asthma treatment in children and adolescents are to minimize the burden of symptoms, prevent asthma attacks, reduce the risk of progression of pathophysiological changes and adverse outcomes, and improve the quality of life. The results of assessing the level of health-related quality of life in patients with BA show that the levels of asthma control can affect the overall level of quality of life (QoL) of both children and parents and/or relatives of patients with BA. 65 children with BA, 42 boys and 23 girls, average age 11.3±0.4 years, were under the observation in the children's sanatorium. All children, regardless of gender and age, showed a positive dynamic of quality-of-life parameters after the sanatorium treatment. The percentage deviation of the quality of life (QOL) at the beginning and at the end of the treatment, can serve as a criterion for determining the effectiveness in young patients with BA, allows to establish the effectiveness of the application of a set of medical procedures in a sanatorium, helping in the overall assessment of the effectiveness of treatment.
