title: Asthma severity in children and the quality of life of their parents.
abstract: This study examines the effect of asthma severity of children aged 7-17 years and sociodemographic characteristics on the caregiver's quality of life. For parents of asthmatic children, there was a negative correlation between overall asthma severity and quality-of-life score. Measuring parental quality of life enables the development of effective asthma programs.
