Aim Food Allergy is suboptimally managed, and the future risk for patients with regard to health status and quality of life is rarely evaluated in clinical contexts. Existing assessments do not meet physicians’ needs for a short simple tool to measure the impact of food allergy on patients health related quality of life (HRQL) in routine clinical practice. We aimed to modify the well-validated Parent Form of Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire (FAQLQ-PF) to develop a short, reliable, valid, one scale measure.
