ABSTRACT
Aim:
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the impact of oral health on quality of life in oral cancer patients (OCPs).Methods:
PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched for publications on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in OCP and the information was extracted according to the PRISMA guidelines. A random effect model was used to obtain the pooled standard mean differences of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)-14 questionnaire responses in meta-analysis.Results:
total of 12 research papers were analyzed and revealed poor OHRQoL in OCPs (standard mean difference 2.53; 95% CI 1.55-3.50; p < 0.00001) compared with healthy individuals due to the effects of oncotherapy. Moreover, OHRQoL deteriorated with combinations of different treatment modalities.Conclusion:
Oral health and oncotherapy can affect the quality of life in OCPs.Palavras-chave
