Abstract
Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the reliability and construct validity of a questionnaire assessing patient-reported outcomes following dental implant rehabilitation.
Material and methods: A questionnaire was mailed to patients 8 years posttreatment to assess experiences with dental implant therapy, including satisfaction, oral function, perceived pretreatment information and complications. Patients completed the questionnaire again during a clinical examination. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha and corrected item-total correlations (CITC), while test-retest reliability was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Construct-related validity was examined through associations between questionnaire domains and oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) measured by OHIP-14.
Results: A total of 206 patients completed the questionnaire twice. For individual items, ICCs ranged from 0.39 to 0.75 and CITCs from 0.39 to 0.66. The full questionnaire had an alpha of 0.78 and an ICC of 0.78. Construct-related validity was supported through associations between the questionnaire domains patient satisfaction, pretreatment information and the OHIP-14 sum scores.
Conclusions: The questionnaire demonstrated acceptable internal consistency reliability, good test-retest performance, and reasonable construct validity.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Oral Implants Research conveys scientific progress in the field of implant dentistry and its related areas to clinicians, teachers and researchers concerned with the application of this information for the benefit of patients in need of oral implants. The journal addresses itself to clinicians, general practitioners, periodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and prosthodontists, as well as to teachers, academicians and scholars involved in the education of professionals and in the scientific promotion of the field of implant dentistry.
