Background and aims. Diabetic patients display an increased risk of oral disorders, and oral health related quality of life (OHRQL) might affect their management and treatment modalities. The aim of the present study was to determine OHRQL and associated parameters in patients with diabetes. Materials and methods. In this study two hundred patients were recruited from the diabetes clinic in Mustafa Khomeini Hospital in Tehran, Iran. OHRQL was assessed using Oral Health Impact Profile Questionnaire (OHIP-20). Also, another questionnaire was designed which contained questions regarding participants' knowledge about oral complications of diabetes and oral health behavior. OHRQL was categorized as low and good. Data were analyzed using logistic regression at P = 0.05. Results. Of the diabetic patients assessed, 77.5% were in good and 22.5% were in low categories of OHRQL. This quality was significantly associated with age (OR = 4.03, 95% CI = 1.63-11.29), knowledge about diabetes oral complications (OR = 18.17 95% CI = 4.42-158.6), educational level (OR = 26.31 95% CI = 4.2-1080.3), referred for dental visit by physician (OR = 3.16 95% CI = 1.48-6.69), frequency of brushing (OR = 10.29 95% CI = 3.96-31.2) and length of time diagnosed with diabetes (OR = 6.21 95% CI = 2.86-13.63). Conclusion. Oral health related quality of life was not negatively affected by diabetes mellitus in the assessed sample.
背景与目的。糖尿病患者出现口腔疾病的风险增加，与口腔健康相关的生活质量（OHRQL）可能会影响其管理和治疗方式。本研究的目的是确定糖尿病患者的OHRQL及相关参数。材料与方法。本研究从伊朗德黑兰穆斯塔法·霍梅尼医院的糖尿病诊所招募了200名患者。使用口腔健康影响程度问卷（OHIP - 20）评估OHRQL。此外，还设计了另一份问卷，其中包含有关参与者对糖尿病口腔并发症的了解以及口腔健康行为的问题。OHRQL分为低和良好两类。采用逻辑回归分析数据，P = 0.05。结果。在评估的糖尿病患者中，77.5%的患者OHRQL为良好，22.5%为低水平。这种质量与年龄（OR = 4.03，95% CI = 1.63 - 11.29）、对糖尿病口腔并发症的了解（OR = 18.17，95% CI = 4.42 - 158.6）、教育水平（OR = 26.31，95% CI = 4.2 - 1080.3）、医生转诊进行牙科就诊（OR = 3.16，95% CI = 1.48 - 6.69）、刷牙频率（OR = 10.29，95% CI = 3.96 - 31.2）以及糖尿病诊断时长（OR = 6.21，95% CI = 2.86 - 13.63）显著相关。结论。在所评估的样本中，糖尿病并未对与口腔健康相关的生活质量产生负面影响。
