Abstract

Purpose: Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children with autism following an oral preventive regimen (ASDsP) was compared to that of children with autism without a preventive regimen (ASDsNP) and of neurotypical peers (NT).

Methods: An online survey was carried out using the Parental/Caregiver Perception Questionnaire (P-CPQ) and the Family Impact Scale (FIS). Scores were assigned to items, with the total score ranging from 0 to 120 (worst QoL). The median scores were compared amongst groups using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. A multivariate linear regression assessed the relationship between questionnaire scores and demographical variables.

Results: Overall, 168 questionnaires from the ASDsP and the ASDsNP groups, respectively, and 336 from the NT group were selected ASDsP compared to ASDsNP showed lower P-CPQ Emotional wellbeing, FIS Emotion (p < 0.01) and Conflict (p < 0.05), and FIS total score (p < 0.01). In addition, they were less nervous (p < 0.05), shy (p < 0.01), with better sleep (p < 0.05), and with happier parents (p < 0.01). Compared to NT, ASDsP showed higher P-CPQ + FIS, P-CPQ, and FIS total scores (p < 0.01) and P-CPQ Functional limitation, Social wellbeing (p < 0.01), Emotional wellbeing (p < 0.05), and FIS Activity, Emotion and Conflict (p < 0.01).

Conclusion: The preventive regimen reduces parental stress, improving the quality of life of children and families.

自闭症谱系障碍儿童和青少年与神经正常同龄人的口腔健康相关生活质量：巢式病例对照问卷调查。

目的：将接受口腔预防治疗的自闭症儿童（ASDsP）的口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）与未接受预防治疗的自闭症儿童（ASDsNP）和神经畸形儿童（NT）的口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）进行比较：采用家长/照顾者感知问卷（P-CPQ）和家庭影响量表（FIS）进行在线调查。对各项目进行评分，总分从 0 到 120（最差 QoL）不等。采用 Mann-Whitney 和 Kruskal-Wallis 检验比较各组的中位数得分。多变量线性回归评估了问卷得分与人口统计学变量之间的关系：总体而言，ASDsP 组和 ASDsNP 组分别有 168 份问卷，NT 组有 336 份问卷：预防方案减轻了父母的压力，提高了儿童和家庭的生活质量。

期刊介绍： The aim and scope of European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) is to promote research in all aspects of dentistry for children, including interceptive orthodontics and studies on children and young adults with special needs. The EAPD focuses on the publication and critical evaluation of clinical and basic science research related to children. The EAPD will consider clinical case series reports, followed by the relevant literature review, only where there are new and important findings of interest to Paediatric Dentistry and where details of techniques or treatment carried out and the success of such approaches are given.
