There is evidence that gross motor function impacts the health-related quality of life of young adults with cerebral palsy. This study aimed to assess gross motor function, oral health and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and the relationship between them in young adults with cerebral palsy.
The sample comprised 46 individuals aged between 13 and 17 years with Gross Motor Function Classification Scores (GMFCS) ranging from level I to level III. The individuals and their parents were administered an Arabic version of the child perception questionnaire for adolescents. Parental and child perception scores, DMFT, and gingival index were compared across GMFCS levels using the one-way ANOVA and Scheffe's post hoc test.
Children with level III GMFCS had a significantly higher child perception score (CPQ) and parental perception score (PPQ) than those with level I or level II scores. There was a significant association between function (GMFCS) and the CPQ score in children ( = 0.016). No significant associations were found between the CPQ score and either dental caries (DMFT) or gingival bleeding (GI) scores. Children with GMFCS level III had a significantly higher DMFT ( = 0.016). No significant associations were found between the CPQ score and either dental caries (DMFT) or gingival bleeding (GI) scores. Children with GMFCS level III had a significantly higher DMFT ( = 0.016). No significant associations were found between the CPQ score and either dental caries (DMFT) or gingival bleeding (GI) scores. Children with GMFCS level III had a significantly higher DMFT (.
Motor function has a significant impact on both the oral health and the OHRQoL of adolescents and young adults with spastic cerebral palsy.
有证据表明，粗大运动功能会影响脑瘫青年的健康相关生活质量。本研究旨在评估脑瘫青年的粗大运动功能、口腔健康及口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL），以及它们之间的关系。
样本包括46名年龄在13至17岁之间的个体，其粗大运动功能分类评分（GMFCS）从I级到III级。对这些个体及其父母进行了青少年儿童感知问卷的阿拉伯语版本调查。使用单因素方差分析和谢弗事后检验，比较不同GMFCS水平下的父母和儿童感知评分、DMFT和牙龈指数。
GMFCS III级的儿童比I级或II级的儿童有显著更高的儿童感知评分（CPQ）和父母感知评分（PPQ）。儿童的功能（GMFCS）与CPQ评分之间存在显著关联（=0.016）。在CPQ评分与龋齿（DMFT）或牙龈出血（GI）评分之间未发现显著关联。GMFCS III级的儿童DMFT显著更高（=0.016）。在CPQ评分与龋齿（DMFT）或牙龈出血（GI）评分之间未发现显著关联。GMFCS III级的儿童DMFT显著更高（=0.016）。在CPQ评分与龋齿（DMFT）或牙龈出血（GI）评分之间未发现显著关联。GMFCS III级的儿童DMFT显著更高（。
运动功能对痉挛性脑瘫青少年和青年的口腔健康及OHRQoL均有显著影响。
