Orthognathic surgery is the cornerstone of the treatment of dentofacial deformities, which have a great psychological and social impact on the life of the patient. Patient satisfaction and the impact on quality of life have recently become clinical parameters of growing importance. The aim of this study was to undertake a transcultural adaptation, translation to Spanish and validation of this version of the questionnaire OQLQ, used to measure quality of life in the context of Spanish culture.
Validation of the OQLQ questionnaire to the Spanish language was carried out through the methodology of translation and back translation, conceptual equivalence and piloting. The Spanish version was applied through a cross-sectional study to a total of 50 patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
The adapted and validated version showed adequate metric properties of reliability, change sensitivity and validity. In this study, a positive impact of orthognathic surgery on the specific quality of life was evident in 96% of patients, with an average improvement of 58% with respect to the initial score.
Dentofacial deformities have a marked negative impact on the lives of patients, with orthognathic surgery being a therapeutic tool of great value in improving the quality of life in social, functional and aesthetic terms. The pilot test of this Spanish language version of the OQLQ proved valid for the assessment of quality of life in Spanish-speaking orthognathic patients or those with a Spanish culture.

通过翻译和回译、概念等效性和预试验的方法对OQLQ问卷进行西班牙语验证。西班牙语版本通过横断面研究应用于总共50例接受正颌外科手术的患者。
改编并验证后的版本显示出足够的信度、变化敏感性和效度等计量学特性。在本研究中，96%的患者正颌外科手术对特定生活质量有积极影响，相对于初始得分平均提高了58%。
牙颌面畸形对患者的生活有显著负面影响，正颌外科手术是一种在改善社会、功能和美学方面生活质量方面具有巨大价值的治疗工具。OQLQ西班牙语版本的预试验证明对评估讲西班牙语的正颌患者或具有西班牙文化的患者的生活质量有效。正颌外科手术、生活质量、验证研究、牙颌面畸形、患者满意度、治疗结果。
