RQLQ

The RQLQ is a 28-item disease-specific quality-of-life instrument developed by Juniper and colleagues at McMaster University in 1996 to assess the impact of allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis on daily functioning. It captures symptom burden and activity limitation across seven domains: sleep, non-nose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, activity limitation, and emotional function. The RQLQ is the preferred outcome measure in allergic rhinitis clinical trials and is widely used in allergy and immunology practice to track treatment response.
