Assessment of quality of life and sociocultural aspects in patients with ameloblastoma after immediate mandibular reconstruction with a fibular free flap
چکیده انگلیسی

Our aim was to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in patients with ameloblastoma who had been treated by immediate mandibular reconstruction with a fibular free flap, and to analyse the association between QoL and their sociocultural and medical characteristics. We assessed the QoL outcomes of 33/45 patients using the University of Washington quality of life (UW-QoL) questionnaire and the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Thirty-three of the 45 questionnaires were returned (73%). In the UW-QoL the best-scoring domain was “shoulder”, whereas the lowest scores were for “chewing” and “activity”. In the OHIP-14 the lowest-scoring domain was “handicap”, followed by “social disability” and “psychological discomfort”. Mandibular reconstruction with a fibular free flap significantly influenced the patients’ QoL and oral function. Their sociocultural data showed that most patients had a fairly low level of education.
