There has been an increase in the development and use of oral health-related quality-of-life (OHRQoL) measures in the past two decades. This study aimed to assess the association between OHRQoL and clinical oral health measures, among mid-level school children in Southeast of Iran.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on a random cluster sample of 11-13 year-old student population. Consented participants interviewed for OHRQoL measurements using Persian version of child-oral impacts on daily performances (OIDP). Oral examination was done by a trained dentist using WHO oral health assessment form, version 2011. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 20 using Mann-Whitney and correlation tests.
A total of 400 school children participated. The overall mean of decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) was 1.76 ± 2.4. A total of 82% of the school children presented the impact of oral problems in at least one of the eight daily performances. As DMFT increased, the OIDP score tended to increase or quality-of-life of children tended to be worse (r = 0.397, P < 0.001).
The results showed a positive relation between some oral health status and quality-of-life score.
在过去二十年中，与口腔健康相关的生活质量（OHRQoL）测量方法的开发和使用有所增加。本研究旨在评估伊朗东南部初中学生的OHRQoL与临床口腔健康测量指标之间的关联。
对11至13岁学生群体的随机整群样本进行了一项横断面研究。获得同意的参与者使用波斯语版的儿童口腔对日常表现的影响（OIDP）进行OHRQoL测量访谈。由一名经过培训的牙医使用2011版世界卫生组织口腔健康评估表进行口腔检查。使用SPSS 20软件通过曼-惠特尼检验和相关性检验对数据进行分析。
共有400名学童参与。龋失补牙数（DMFT）的总体平均值为1.76±2.4。共有82%的学童在八项日常表现中的至少一项中出现了口腔问题的影响。随着DMFT的增加，OIDP评分倾向于增加，即儿童的生活质量倾向于变差（r = 0.397，P < 0.001）。
结果显示某些口腔健康状况与生活质量评分之间存在正相关关系。
