The study was conducted to assess the impact of oral health status on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) of children between 12 and 15 years with type-1 diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in Saudi Arabia and compare these findings to age and gender matched medically fit children.
A total of 40 children aged between 12 and 15 years with (IDDM) group presenting to the pediatric endocrinology clinic of the KSMC, Riyadh were age and gender matched to a control group of children reporting for a routine dental checkup at the dental clinics of the REU. The oral health of all children was recorded using WHO examination criteria. Parental perception of the OHRQoL was recorded using the validated Arabic version of the short-form child oral health impact profile-short-form COHIP-19. The independent samples -test was used to compare the DMFT, Gingival index, and COHIP19 domains of the two groups.
Individuals with IDDM had higher Gingival Index and DMFT scores; however, the differences were not statistically significant. The IDDM group showed higher COHIP scores across all domains. However, the differences were only statistically significant for the oral health domain ( = 0.003).
Children with IDDM had better oral health both in terms of dental caries and gingival status when compared to their age-matched controls. However, they had significantly higher oral health domains that suggest a poorer overall OHRQoL in children with IDDM.
本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯12至15岁1型糖尿病（IDDM）儿童的口腔健康状况对其口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQOL）的影响，并将这些结果与年龄和性别匹配的健康儿童进行比较。
共有40名年龄在12至15岁之间的IDDM组儿童到利雅得国王沙特大学医疗城儿科内分泌诊所就诊，他们在年龄和性别上与在利雅得伊玛目阿卜杜勒拉赫曼本费萨尔大学牙科诊所进行常规牙科检查的儿童对照组相匹配。所有儿童的口腔健康状况均按照世界卫生组织的检查标准进行记录。使用经过验证的阿拉伯语版儿童口腔健康影响简表（COHIP-19）记录家长对OHRQoL的看法。采用独立样本t检验比较两组的龋失补牙指数（DMFT）、牙龈指数和COHIP19各领域情况。
IDDM患者的牙龈指数和DMFT评分较高；然而，差异无统计学意义。IDDM组在所有领域的COHIP评分均较高。然而，仅在口腔健康领域差异具有统计学意义（P = 0.003）。
与年龄匹配的对照组相比，IDDM儿童在龋齿和牙龈状况方面具有更好的口腔健康。然而，他们在口腔健康领域的得分显著更高，这表明IDDM儿童的总体OHRQoL较差。
