Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of asthma on oro-facial muscle dysfunction (OFD) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children.

Materials and Method: A total of 158 children, 79 diagnosed with asthma and 79 healthy, were included in the study. Children diagnosed with asthma were divided into controlled and uncontrolled asthma groups. The OFD and OHRQoL of all participants were evaluated with Nordic Orofacial Test and Screening (NOT-S) and Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ8-10). The differences and correlations between the groups were statistically evaluated (Mann-Whitney and Spearman and Chi-Square test).

Results: NOT-S interview, examination, and total scores were statistically higher in the asthma group compared to healthy children and between uncontrolled and controlled asthma groups (p<0.001). Higher scores were obtained in all areas of CPQ8-10 in the asthma group (p<0.001). NOT-S and CPQ8-10 scores elevated compatibly in the groups diagnosed with asthma.

Conclusion: OFD in asthmatic children predicts worse OHRQoL.

Astımlı çocuklarda orofasiyal disfonksiyonların ve ağız sağlığına bağlı yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, astımın çocuklarda ağız-yüz kas disfonksiyonu (OFD) ve ağız sağlığı ile ilişkili yaşam kalitesi (OHRQoL) üzerindeki etkisini araştırılması amaçlandı.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 79'u astım tanısı almış, 79'u sağlıklı olmak üzere toplam 158 çocuk dahil edildi. Astım tanısı konan çocuklar kontrollü ve kontrolsüz astım gruplarına ayrıldı. Tüm katılımcıların OFD ve OHRQoL'leri Nordik Orofasiyal Tarama Testi (NOT-S) ve Çocuk Algı Anketi (CPQ8-10) ile değerlendirildi. Gruplar arasındaki farklar ve korelasyonlar istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi (Mann-Whitney ve Spearman ve Ki-Kare testi)

Bulgular: NOT-S görüşme, muayene ve toplam puanları astım grubunda sağlıklı çocuklara göre ve kontrolsüz ve kontrollü astım grupları arasında istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek bulundu (p<0.001). Astım grubunda CPQ8-10’un tüm alanlarında daha yüksek puanlar elde edildi (p<0.001). NOT-S ve CPQ8-10 skorları astım tanısı alan gruplarda uyumlu olarak yükseldi.

Sonuç: Astımlı çocuklarda OFD’nin OHRQoL'yi olumsuz yönde etkilediği görüldü.
