Resumo: | Impact of oral conditions on the quality of life of children/adolescents with Down syndrome The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of oral conditions on the quality of life of children/adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) and their family members compared to children/adolescents without DS. This is a comparative cross-sectional study. Participated in the study 144 children/adolescents with DS aged 4 to 18 years matched by sex and age with 144 children/adolescents without DS, as well as the parents/caregivers of individuals in each group. To assess the impact of oral conditions on the quality of life of children/adolescents, parents/caregivers answered the short version of Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ), which consists of three domains: oral symptoms, functional limitations and well-being. The Family Impact Scale (FIS) was used to assess the impact of oral conditions of children/adolescents on the quality of life of their family members. It consists of four domains: parents' activity, parents' emotions, family conflict and financial charges. In addition, sociodemographic and general health information of the children/adolescents were collected through a structured questionnaire. A single examiner assessed the following clinical parameters: dental caries (DMF-T/dmf-t), clinical consequences of untreated dental caries (PUFA/pufa), gingival bleeding (GBI), visible plaque (VPI) and malocclusion were evaluated (DAI). Malocclusion was categorized by Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) in absent or mild malocclusion (DAI 25), defined malocclusion (DAI of 26 to 30), severe malocclusion (DAI of 31 to 35) and very severe malocclusion (DAI 36). The examiner was trained and calibrated to perform the clinical examination. For each oral condition evaluated, the inter-examiner agreement (k = 0.81 a k = 0.92) and intra-examiner (k = 0.89 a k = 0.94) were determined. The Kappa coefficients were satisfactory for the accomplishment of the epidemiological study. The Wilcoxon test compared the domains and the total score of P-CPQ and FIS between individuals with and without SD. Pearson's Chi-square test, Fisher's exact and linear trend were used to evaluate the association between the total P-CPQ and FIS score with sociodemographic data, health data and clinical indicators of children/adolescents with DS. The same tests were used to test the association between the total P-CPQ score and the independent variables for children/adolescents without DS. The variables that presented a level of significance (p < 0.25) in the bivariate analysis were incorporated into the final Poisson regression model (CI: 95%, p < 0.05). Parents/caregivers of children/adolescents with DS presented a more negative perception about the repercussions of oral conditions on the quality of life of their children when compared to the perception of parents/caregivers of individuals without DS (p = 0.02). The same trend was also observed for the domain of functional limitations (p < 0.01). The determining clinical variables for a negative perception of the parents/caregivers of individuals with DS were clinical consequences of untreated dental caries (RP = 1.72, CI = 1.04 - 2.84) and presence of visible plaque (RP = 1.48, CI = 1.08 - 2.03). Conversely, for the domain of oral symptoms parents/caregivers of children/adolescents without DS presented a more negative perception of the impact of oral conditions on their children's quality of life when compared to the perception of the parents/caregivers of DS individuals (p < 0. 01). The determinants for this result were a previous visit to the dentist (RP = 2.19, CI = 1.32 - 3.63), clinical consequences of untreated dental caries (RP = 2.43, CI = 1.22-4.83), gingival bleeding (RP = 1.86, CI = 1.29 - 2.00) and severe malocclusion (RP = 3.33, CI = 1.07 - 5.00). There was no difference between the groups with and without DS regarding the impact of the children's/adolescents' oral coding on the quality of life of their families for the domains and for the total FIS score (p > 0.05). The oral conditions determining the negative impact on the quality of life of families of children/adolescents with DS were dental caries (RP = 3.95, CI = 2.09 - 7.46), clinical consequences of untreated dental caries (RP = 1.83, CI = 1.18 - 2.84), defined malocclusion (RP = 2.75, CI = 1.23 - 6.13) and severe occlusion (RP = 2.82, CI = 1.02 - 7.74). In general, the impact of oral conditions on the quality of life of children/adolescents with DS was more negative when compared to children/adolescents without DS. The presence of clinical consequences of untreated dental caries and visible plaque were the determining oral conditions for a negative impact on oral health related quality of life of children/adolescents with DS. Dental caries, clinical consequences of untreated dental caries, defined malocclusion and severe malocclusion were the determinant oral conditions for the impact on the quality of life of families of children/adolescents with DS.
