  1. 1CHQ-PF28 health scales: PhS = Physical Summary score; PsS = Psychosocial Summary score; PE = Parental impact-Emotional; PT = Parental impact-Time; FA = Family impact-Activities; FC = Family impact-Cohesion [28].
  2. 2Positive beta coefficients, shown in italics, indicate higher score means, i.e. higher HRQL, when the allergy-associated parameter food-induced breathing difficulties was present.
