背景：使用健康状况测量来评估与健康相关的生活质量的情况并不普遍。这项研究的目的是使用儿童-口腔对日常表现的影响(Child-OIDP)来评估口腔对健康的影响的患病率、特征和严重程度。方法：随机抽取卡坦扎罗市11-16岁学生进行问卷调查。数据收集采用自填式问卷调查、Child-OIDP计算访谈、正畸治疗需要指数(IOTN)美学部分(AC)和口腔检查。结果：根据Child-OIDP的数据，在530名儿童中，只有5.5%的儿童在过去3个月内没有报告任何牙齿问题，66.8%的儿童经历过牙齿撞击。性别、水果摄入频率、漱口习惯和牙医评估的IOTN AC评分是影响牙齿影响的显著危险因素。结论：口腔健康相关生活质量的测量应作为口腔健康调查的重要组成部分。
Background: The use of health status measures to assess health-related quality of life is not widespread. The objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence, characteristics and severity of oral impacts on health using the Child-Oral Impact on Daily Performance (Child-OIDP). Methods: The survey was conducted on 11-16 years old randomly selected students in Catanzaro. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire, an interview for the calculation of Child-OIDP and the Aesthetic Component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) and an oral examination. Results: Only 5.5% out of 530 children did not report any dental problem in the previous 3 months and 66.8% had experienced dental impacts according to the Child-OIDP. Sex, fruit intake frequency, mouthwash habits and IOTN AC score assessed by dentist were significant risk factors for dental impacts. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the measurement of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) should be an essential component of oral health surveys.
