Abstract

Introduction: A child's oral health impacts their development and quality of life. Children who live with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) face barriers to dental care combined with poorer oral health outcomes. However, how this affects their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is largely unknown. Thus, the aim of this study is to examine the OHRQoL of children living with FASD.

Methods: This cross-sectional survey used the Child Oral Health Impact Profile-Short Form-19 (COHIP-SF-19) to evaluate the OHRQoL quality of life of children (aged 8 to 15) living with FASD, compared to healthy controls.

Results: A total of 332 children (or their caregivers) completed the survey. The survey results showed that children living with FASD reported significantly more untreated dental conditions. The majority of children in the control group experienced a low impact across the majority of COHIP-SF-19 domains. However, children living with FASD experienced significantly higher impact scores related to oral health, functional well-being, and social-emotional well-being.

Conclusion: The results demonstrated that children who live with FASD have a poorer OHRQoL. Overall, more investigation is necessary to identify the best ways to improve the OHRQoL of children living with FASD.

胎儿酒精谱系障碍儿童与口腔健康相关的生活质量。

引言儿童的口腔健康影响着他们的发育和生活质量。患有胎儿酒精中毒谱系障碍（FASD）的儿童面临着牙科保健的障碍和较差的口腔健康结果。然而，这对他们与口腔健康相关的生活质量（OHRQoL）有何影响在很大程度上还不得而知。因此，本研究旨在调查 FASD 儿童的口腔健康相关生活质量：这项横断面调查使用儿童口腔健康影响档案-短表-19（COHIP-SF-19）来评估患有 FASD 的儿童（8 至 15 岁）与健康对照组相比的 OHRQoL 生活质量：共有 332 名儿童（或其照顾者）完成了调查。调查结果显示，患有 FASD 的儿童报告的未经治疗的牙科疾病明显增多。对照组中的大多数儿童在 COHIP-SF-19 的大多数领域中受到的影响较小。然而，患有 FASD 的儿童在口腔健康、功能幸福感和社会情感幸福感方面的影响得分明显更高：结论：研究结果表明，患有 FASD 的儿童的 OHRQoL 较差。总体而言，有必要开展更多调查，以确定改善 FASD 儿童 OHRQoL 的最佳方法。
