Multidimensional Characterization of Dyspnea in Children
There is no specific tool existing to describe dyspnea in children in a multidimensional way. It has been shown in adult studies that multidimensional dyspnea evaluation scales are well correlated to quality of life and respiratory function impairments. The investigators hypothesis is that using multidimensional dyspnea evaluation scales could allow for a more systematic and precise evaluation of this symptom in children, thus improving management and follow-up of patients presenting with acute (asthma attack, infectious diseases) and chronic (cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary diskynesia, neuromuscular diseases) respiratory insufficiency.
• Children aged between 6-17 years old at inclusion
• Experiencing respiratory complaints at inclusion
• Social security number
• Children whom parents or legal representatives are present or reachable via phone call at inclusion
• Non-opposition of parents or legal representatives to participate in the study
• Children who are followed at or hospitalized in Trousseau hospital's pediatric pulmonology department for: asthma attack, acute respiratory insufficiency, acute exacerbation of a chronic respiratory disease, chronic respiratory insufficiency.
• For the study of acute dyspnea: patients hospitalized for acute respiratory disease since less than 72h.
• For the study of chronic dyspnea: children presenting with chronic respiratory disease.
