口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）是一个多维度的结构，测量与牙齿，口腔和面部相关的健康状况。这项横断面研究探讨了OHRQoL，人口统计学数据，并在839寻求治疗的青年与唇腭裂从6个地理上不同的唇腭裂治疗中心的临床指标。没有健康保险和代表少数民族的个人在儿童口腔健康影响概况上的OHRQoL评分较低，手术推荐率较高。这些研究结果意味着一个风险因素，降低OHRQoL和未满足的需求之间的脆弱青年与分裂。(Am J公共卫生。2012;102：828-830. doi：10.2105/AJPH.2012.300654）
Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is a multidimensional construct that measures well-being associated with the teeth, mouth, and face. This cross-sectional study examined OHRQoL, demographic data, and clinical indicators in 839 treatment-seeking youths with cleft from 6 geographically diverse cleft treatment centers. Individuals without health insurance and representing ethnic minorities had lower OHRQoL scores on the Child Oral Health Impact Profile and a higher rate of surgical recommendations. These findings imply a risk factor for reduced OHRQoL and unmet needs among vulnerable youths with clefts. (Am J Public Health. 2012;102:828-830. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2012.300654)
