Starting in the 1970s, social scientists have discussed the importance of assessing subjective indicators of well-being and quality of life. Medical researchers followed this line of reasoning since the 1990s, emphasizing the significance of understanding how disease and its treatment affect patients' quality of life. Since the start of the 21(st) century, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) received increasingly more attention. While research concerning the effects of periodontal disease and its surgical and non-surgical treatment on patients' lives has been considered in numerous studies, research including patient-reported outcomes when assessing how periodontal health can be enhanced through regenerative approaches is largely missing. This commentary proposes to consider 1) OHRQoL and 2) patients' treatment satisfaction as patient-reported outcomes in conjunction with objectively measured patient-centered factors, and discusses the value of such an approach.
从20世纪70年代开始，社会科学家们就一直在讨论评估幸福和生活质量主观指标的重要性。自20世纪90年代以来，医学研究人员也遵循了这一思路，强调了解疾病及其治疗如何影响患者生活质量的重要性。自21世纪初以来，口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）受到了越来越多的关注。虽然许多研究已经考虑了牙周疾病及其手术和非手术治疗对患者生活的影响，但在评估如何通过再生方法改善牙周健康时纳入患者报告结局的研究却基本缺失。本评论建议将1）OHRQoL和2）患者的治疗满意度作为患者报告结局，并结合客观测量的以患者为中心的因素进行考量，并讨论这种方法的价值。
