背景：包括自我报告措施在内的调查表已成为评估许多疾病的有效手段。本研究的目的是评估一组自我报告的牙周措施估计牙周炎的患病率的性能。方法：样本包括284个人，年龄在18至60岁，从贝洛奥里藏特，巴西。进行全口牙周检查，并记录牙周参数。牙周炎被分类为无或轻度、中度和重度。每位参与者回答了18个问题，包括社会人口学变量，已知的风险因素和自我报告的牙周测量。问题进行了全球性的logistic回归analysis.Results：中度牙周炎的完整的最终模型包括年龄，牙线，牙龈疾病（敏感性= 23.1%，特异性= 98%，在接受者工作特征曲线下的面积= 75.4%）。严重牙周炎的完整的最终模型包括所有以前引用的变量，除了牙齿的数量（敏感性= 36.4%;特异性= 96.9%;在接收器工作特征曲线下的面积= 85.3%）。结论：自我报告的牙周措施显示牙周炎患病率的中度预测值。使用这些措施可能是一个很好的策略，在调查牙周病的患病率。牙周病学杂志2011;82：1693-1704。
Background: Questionnaires including self-reported measures have become effective as a means of accessing many diseases. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the performance of a set of self-reported periodontal measures on estimating the prevalence of periodontitis.Methods: The sample comprised 284 individuals, aged 18 to 60 years, from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Full-mouth periodontal examinations were performed and periodontal parameters were recorded. Periodontitis was categorized as no or mild, moderate, and severe. Each participant answered 18 questions covering sociodemographic variables, known risk factors, and self-reported periodontal measures. Questions were globally tested through logistic regression analysis.Results: The complete final model for moderate periodontitis included age, dental flossing, and gum disease (sensitivity = 23.1%; specificity = 98%; area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 75.4%). The complete final model for severe periodontitis included all previously cited variables in addition to the number of teeth (sensitivity = 36.4%; specificity = 96.9%; area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 85.3%).Conclusions: Self-reported periodontal measures showed a moderate predictive value for periodontitis prevalence. The use of these measures could be a good strategy in investigating prevalence of periodontal disease. J Periodontol 2011;82: 1693-1704.
