ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is a previously validated, concise, patient-friendly questionnaire used to determine the impact of oral diseases on patient quality of life. The present study seeks to examine the outcomes of a modified Salivary-OHIP (S-OHIP) survey in patients with chronic salivary disorders. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A prospective cohort of 67 patients with chronic salivary disorders and a control group of 16 patients undergoing septoplasty were surveyed using the modified Salivary-OHIP (S-OHIP) before surgery and six weeks following operative intervention. Additional factors analyzed included age, gender, etiology of salivary disease, general quality of life using the EQ-5D-5L, and general salivary symptoms.RESULTS:
There was no difference between treatment and control groups with respect to age or gender. There was a significant difference between the groups regarding change in S-OHIP scores before and after surgery (p < 0.01). Salivary patients had a significant decrease in S-OHIP scores indicating improved salivary quality of life (p < 0.01), with a mean decrease in score of 9.5. The control group showed no change in S-OHIP score (p = 0.47).CONCLUSION:
The S-OHIP allows for a specific, targeted survey of salivary symptoms and is a useful, patient-friendly tool to quantify symptomatic changes in patients with chronic salivary disorders. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.Palabras clave
