Aim: The objective was to evaluate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in patients aging 18 - 60 years, considering oral health, dental aesthetic impact and self-esteem. Methods: The sample comprised 81 patients, regardless gender/ethnicity, seeking for dental aesthetic treatment at University São Francisco, Bragança Paulista-SP. The instruments used to assess the OHRQOL were the questionnaires: 1. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSS); 2. Oral Health Impact Profile-14 Brazil (OHIP) and 3. Psychosocial Impact and Aesthetic Dental Questionnaire-Brazil (PIADQ). Data were analyzed by Spearman correlation (α=5%) and descriptive statistics. Results: The older the patient the worse the oral and general health conditions found (p<0.05). Moreover, the age showed significant correlation with OIHP and PIADQ questionnaires scores (p=0.000). The three questionnaires showed moderate positive correlations (p<0.05 r=0.461 – 0.685) among them. In addition, OHIP and QIPED questionnaires correlated with general health and oral health (p<0.05 r=0.230–0.558). Conclusion: It could be concluded that aesthetic dental needs interfere, in fact, in the oral health-related quality of life and in the self-steem of patients seeking for treatment University São Francisco Dental School.

Background: Oral health is associated with Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) and may play a relevant role in oral (OHRQoL) and general health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among people with chronic liver disease (CLD). Objective: To explore the correlations between OHRQoL and HRQoL in pre- and post-liver transplantation (LT) patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 189 patients: 63 per group (pre-LT, post-LT, and without liver disease). The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey, and the Work Ability Index (WAI) were used to measure oral health-related quality of life, health-related quality of life, and work ability, respectively. Oral health was evaluated according to the World Health Organization criteria. The relationship between the OHIP-14 and independent variables was analysed by multiple linear regression. Results: Pre-LT group presented the highest OHIP-14 total mean score, followed by the post-LT group, compared to the group without liver disease (p=0.001). All HRQoL and WAI mean scores were lower in the pre-LT group than in the other groups (p≤0.013). In the pre-LT group, the OHIP-14 total mean score was negatively correlated with the Mental Health, Physical Functioning, and General Health mean scores (p=0.01) and negatively and significantly (p<0.05) associated with decayed teeth and with poor workability. In the post-TL group, OHRQOL of life was associated with decayed and missing teeth, lower educational level, and poor workability. Conclusion: Patients in the pre- and post-LT groups presented poorer OHRQoL compared to patients without liver disease. OHRQoL was strongly correlated with HRQoL in the pre-LT group.

Introduction: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an evidence-based program to improve secondary prevention outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lower health-related quality of life is a known risk factor for worse CVD outcomes. We examined the effects of a patient-driven appointment-based CR program on health-related quality of life. Methods: We utilized data from the Yale New-Haven Health (YNHH) CR program over a 6-year period (2012-2017). Data was collected on patient demographics, clinical characteristics and socioeconomic status. The Medical Outcome Short-Form General Health Survey (SF-36) was used to measure general health status. We evaluated SF-36 score changes pre and post CR with paired T-tests and conducted logistic regression analysis to examine predictors of improvements in health-related quality of life. Results: Over the 6-year study period, a total of 2,135 patients (27.9% women, mean age 65±12 years) were enrolled in the CR program. Patients demonstrated significant improvements in both the SF-36 physical, mental and health transition components (P<0.001) (Table) . In particular, patients had significant improvement in the social functioning domain (measures limitations patients see in their ability to participate in social activities due to physical/emotional issues), with an increase of 23.3 points out of 100. Physician-reported patient stress and/or depression on intake medical exam were significant negative predictors for improvement in the total SF-36 score (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.08-0.80, P=0.021), with the effect driven largely by its impact on the physical component of SF-36 (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.09-0.83, P=0.022). Conclusion: We demonstrated that a novel appointment-based CR program produced improvements in patient-reported health-related quality of life. Appointment-based CR could be a viable alternative for patients who prefer more scheduling flexibility, to optimize health status improvement and CVD outcomes.

To investigate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of survivors of major trauma at six months following discharge, using two popular HRQOL tools. A cross-sectional study was done on adult trauma survivors in Johannesburg. Subjects completed the EQ-5D and SF-36 HRQOL questionnaires. Additional demographic and clinical data were collected. The majority of subjects reported some problems in usual activities and pain/discomfort as measured with the EQ-5D at six months. The mean EQ-5D VAS was 68 (±26.1). lowest scores were reported in the role physical (44.6 ± 41.6) and role emotional (44.1 ± 45.4) domains of the SF-36. mean SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) score (62.1 ± 27.8) was higher than mental component summary score (58.7 ±20.1). EQ-5D VAS was found to be moderately correlated with age (r=-0.4; p=0.05). A negative correlation was found between SF-36 physical function score and ICU length of stay (LOS), hospital LOS and age (r=-0.4 (p=0.03), -0.4 (p=0.03) and -0.6 (p=0.00) respectively). Statistical significance was observed in the correlation between age and SF-36 general health domain (r=-0.4; p=0.02) as well as age and PCS score (r=-0.5; p=0.01). Trauma survivors in Johannesburg experience limitations in specific emotional and physical domains of HRQOL at six months after discharge. Age was associated with the level of self-rated health as well as limitations in general health and physical function. ICU and hospital LOS were associated with limitations in physical function. There is a need for physical and psychological rehabilitation after discharge from trauma intensive care.
