老年无牙颌患者首次配戴全口义齿前后口腔健康评价指数的变化

The comparison of Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index among elderly edentulous patients between pre-and post-denture insertion

目的:应用老年口腔健康评价指数(Geriatric Oralhealth Assessment Index,GOHAI)中文版量表测量初次配戴全口义齿的老年无牙颌患者治疗前后口腔健康相关生活质量(Oral Health-related Quality of Life,OHRQoL)的变化。方法:80例老年无牙颌患者分别于配戴义齿前和配戴义齿后1个月填写GOHAI中文版量表,进行相关统计分析。结果:配戴义齿1月后量表的12个条目中有7个得分明显比配戴义齿前得分升高,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);量表总得分和3个维度中的2个得分明显升高,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:全口义齿的配戴不仅改善了老年无牙颌患者的生理功能,更为重要的是满足了患者的心理和社会交往的需求。

Objective：To compare the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life（OHRQoL） before and after treatment among elderly edentulous patients with their first complete denture using the Chinese version of Geriatric Oral health Assessment Index（GOHAI）.Methods：A total of 80 old completely edentulous patients were invited to answer the questions on the Chinese version of GOHAI before and 1 month after placement of complete denture.Results：The changes in the scores of 7 of the 12 items between pre-and post-denture insertion were statistically significant（P 0.05）;The GOHAI total score significantly increased from 30.67 to 41.45（P 0.05）.Conclusion：Not only physical but also psychosocial functions were improved after the placement of complete dentures.
