To determine the social and psychological domains of quality of life of children with orofacial clefts in the context of different types of clefts and educational levels.
The cross-sectional study was conducted at Clapp Hospital and Mayo Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan from September 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021, and comprised subjects of either gender aged 6-18 years having orofacial clefts. Data was collected using the CLEFT-Questionnaire along with a basic demographic sheet. Data was analysed using SPSS 23.
Of the 80 subjects, 40(50%) each were males and females. The overall mean age was 12.41±3.39 years. A significant association of types of orofacial clefts with social function (p<0.05) and psychological function (p<0.05) was observed. The highest mean score of 27.89±3.41 and 26.11±1.76 was noted for unilateral left side cleft lip, and primary palate, respectively. No significant association of level of education with social function (p>0.05) and psychological function (p>0.05) was noted.
Different types of orofacial clefts affected the psychological and social aspects of quality of life of patients differently, but the difference was not significantly correlated with the education level.
在不同类型的腭裂及教育水平背景下，确定患有口腔颌面裂患儿生活质量的社会和心理领域。
这项横断面研究于2020年9月1日至2021年1月31日在巴基斯坦拉合尔的克拉普医院和梅奥医院进行，研究对象为年龄在6至18岁、患有口腔颌面裂的男女患者。使用腭裂问卷及基本人口统计学表格收集数据。采用SPSS 23对数据进行分析。
80名研究对象中，男性和女性各40名（50%）。总体平均年龄为12.41±3.39岁。观察到口腔颌面裂类型与社会功能（p<0.05）和心理功能（p<0.05）之间存在显著关联。单侧左侧唇裂和原发性腭裂的平均得分最高，分别为27.89±3.41和26.11±1.76。未观察到教育水平与社会功能（p>0.05）和心理功能（p>0.05）之间存在显著关联。
不同类型的口腔颌面裂对患者生活质量的心理和社会方面影响不同，但这种差异与教育水平无显著相关性。
