Chronic oral mucosal diseases (COMDs) can significantly impair the quality of life (QoL) of affected individuals. Monitoring the overall disease's impact and the efficacy of treatments requires the use of the Chronic Oral Mucosal Diseases Questionnaire-15 (COMDQ-15) as a standardized instrument for measuring QoL in these patients.
This study aimed to assess QoL in patients with COMDs using an Indonesian version of the COMDQ-15.
Seventy patients diagnosed with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), oral lichen planus, autoimmune blistering diseases (ABD), and cheilitis were included. Levels of QoL among different groups of disease were compared. Various potential factors influencing QoL were evaluated. Bivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with overall and specific aspects of QoL.
The mean total COMDQ-15 score was 20.83 ± 10.07. The highest scores were in the physical discomfort domain (8.76 ± 4.65), while the lowest was in the medication and treatment domain (2.13 ± 1.99). Physical discomfort was significantly associated with gender, major RAS, and cheilitis. Social and emotional aspects were significantly associated with age and ABD, while patient support was linked to employment status, RAS types, and cheilitis.
The Indonesian version of the COMDQ-15 is a valid and reliable tool for assessing QoL in patients with COMDs.
慢性口腔黏膜疾病（COMDs）会显著损害患者的生活质量（QoL）。监测疾病的整体影响和治疗效果需要使用慢性口腔黏膜疾病问卷 - 15（COMDQ - 15）作为衡量这些患者生活质量的标准化工具。
本研究旨在使用印尼语版的COMDQ - 15评估COMDs患者的生活质量。
纳入70例被诊断为复发性阿弗他口炎（RAS）、口腔扁平苔藓、自身免疫性疱病（ABD）和唇炎的患者。比较不同疾病组的生活质量水平。评估影响生活质量的各种潜在因素。进行双变量分析以确定与生活质量的整体和特定方面相关的因素。
COMDQ - 15的平均总分是20.83±10.07。得分最高的是身体不适领域（8.76±4.65），而得分最低的是药物和治疗领域（2.13±1.99）。身体不适与性别、重度RAS和唇炎显著相关。社会和情感方面与年龄和ABD显著相关，而患者支持与就业状况、RAS类型和唇炎有关。
印尼语版的COMDQ - 15是评估COMDs患者生活质量的有效且可靠的工具。
