Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) is a 12-item measure of "patient-reported oral functional problems" intended for use in the assessment of the effectiveness of dental treatment.
As there is scanty literature available on GOHAI in the Indian population, the present study was undertaken to assess the changes in GOHAI before and 1 month after placement of dentures in completely edentulous patients reporting to a dental hospital at Indore, India.
The GOHAI questionnaire was completed by the examiner who interviewed the patients (n = 35) before placement of complete dentures and 1 month later. Mean, median values were calculated and the data were analysed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
When overall mean was considered, the GOHAI scores increased from 27.48 to 30.19 (p = 0.002; highly significant).
Patients reported improvement in functional changes after placement of complete dentures.
老年口腔健康评估指数(GOHAI)是一项衡量“患者报告的口腔功能问题”的 12 项指标,旨在评估牙科治疗效果。
由于印度人群中关于 GOHAI 的文献很少,因此本研究旨在评估在印度印多尔的一家牙科医院就诊的完全无牙患者佩戴义齿前后 GOHAI 的变化。
检查者在为患者佩戴全口义齿前(n=35)和 1 个月后对其进行访谈,填写 GOHAI 问卷。计算均值、中位数,并使用 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验对数据进行分析。
总体均值来看,GOHAI 评分从 27.48 增加到 30.19(p=0.002;高度显著)。
患者报告佩戴全口义齿后功能改善。
