Some OHRQoL studies from India.
| Authors | Instrument | Objective | Population and Sample | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kumar S et al., [56] | OHRQoL - Jokovic | Comparison of caries status and OHRQoL between school children living with parents and orphan children | 12-15 years old school children in Udaipur N= 536 279 living with parents and 257 orphans |
Significant difference with regard to QoL between the groups. Relatively higher caries scores and poor QoL in orphans. |
| Fotedar S et al., [57] |
OHIP 14 Both English and a Hindi version used in personal interview |
To describe the OHRQoL in adults and to assess its relationship with DMFT and CPI indices | Adults attending OPD in a Shimla Dental College N= 351 |
OHRQoL is positively correlated with DMFT and CPI scores. Translational validity not done. |
| Ingle NA et al., [58] |
OHIP 14 Tamil version |
To describe OHRQoL of adults and to assess its relationship with DMFT and OHIS | Adults attending OPD in a Chennai Dental College N= 307 |
OHIP scores significantly correlated with the clinical indices. Translational validity not done. |
| Sudeep CB et al., [59] |
Child –OIDP Tsakos Assisted interview |
To assess OHRQoL of 12-15 years old residing in orphanages | Children residing in orphanages in Calicut, Kerala N= 252 |
Positive correlation between OIDP scores and oral health status. No mentioning about translation of OIDP instrument. |
| Mathur VP etal., [55] |
OH ECQoL (Hindi) Newly developed Questionnaire administered to parents |
To develop a reliable instrument to measure the OHRQoL of pre school children in North India. To compare between caries and caries free children |
North Indian preschool children between 24- 71 months N= 300 |
Reliable and valid tool for the population. (Cronbachs Alpha 0.86, ICC 0.94) Early childhood caries has significant impact on QoL. |
| Sirisha N R et al., [60] |
OHIP 14 Telugu version |
To assess the impact of socioeconomic status on QoL in a special community | Yenadi tribe of Andhra. N= 156 |
High level of oral disease but poor impact on the QoL. Telugu instrument is reliable and valid (Cronbachs Alpha 0.8). |
| Bhat SG and Sivaram R [52] |
ECOHIS (The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale) Malayalam version |
To develop and validate Malayalam version of ECOHIS | Parents of Malayalam speaking pre school children N= 300 |
M-ECOHIS can be used to assess OHRQoL of Malayalam speaking school children (Cronbachs Alpha 0.87, ICC 0.94). |
| AppukuttanDP et al., [51] |
GOHAI (General Oral Health Assessment Index) Tamil version |
To assess the psychometric properties of translated Tamil version of GOHAI | South Indian Tamil speaking adult population between 20-70 attending OPD of a Chennai Dental College N=265 | Tamil version shows acceptable psychometric properties. (Cronbachs Alpha 0.8) PCA analysis extracted four domains with 66.4% variance. |
| Jain R [50] |
GOHAI Hindi version Self administered |
To assess the reliability and validity of the Hindi version | Patients above 55 years attending a Navi Mumbai Dental College N= 420 |
Satisfactory psychometric properties (Cronbachs Alpha 0.77). |
| DeshpandeNC et al., [48] |
OHIP Hindi version. English version also given to the same subjects simultaneously |
To validate the Hindi version of OHIP 14 | Patients above 18 years attending a Vadodara Dental College N= 102 |
96.3% correlation between the original English and Translated Hindi versions (Pearsons Correlation Coefficient 0.963) Reliability and validity testing not done. |
| Batra M et al., [49] |
OHIP 14 Hindi version |
To validate the Hindi version To assess its psychometric properties in Indian population |
Moradabad city population who attended dental screening camps N= 186 |
The instrument is reliable and valid with good internal consistency (Cronbachs Alpha 0.8) High correlation between OHIP and OHI-S. |
| Kumar S et al., [53] |
CPQ 11-14 Telugu version |
To assess the reliability and validity of the instrument | Telugu speaking school children N= 1342 |
The Telugu instrument showed good psychometric properties (Cronbachs Alpha 0.925, ICC 0.923). |
| Kumar S etal., [54] | 1. Family Impact Scale (FIS) 2. Parental– Caregiver Perception Questionnaire (P-CPQ) Telugu version |
To assess the reliability and validity of FIS and 8 and 16 item P-CPQ | 11-13 years old school children and their parents of Telangana N= 1342 |
Internal consistency and reliability of all the three scales are good. Construct validity of FIS was questionable. Cronbach’s alpha FIS - 0.78, P-CPQ 16-items - 0.83 P-CPQ 8 items - 0.71 |
