Objective: To evaluate the results of the impact of oral health on quality of life through the OHIP-14 in relation to dental caries and social determinants in Venezuelan migrants. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a population of 350 Venezuelan migrants (30.1±7.4 years; 52% Men). Where to evaluate the impact of oral health on quality of life, the “Oral Health Impact Profile Spanish version Lima” questionnaire (OHIP-14sp Lima) was used, contrasting with both clinical (DMFT index) and sociodemographic factors, in order to determine the influence of these on the instrument. The impact of oral health on quality of life (OHIP-14) was determined, according to the average general score and by dimensions. Subsequently, a clinical examination was carried out evaluating the presence of dental caries lesions (DMFT Index) and sociodemographic data were collected through a survey. Results: The average of the OHIP-14sp Lima generated a negative impact of 10.6% on the migrant population. The dimension of "Psychological Discomfort" was the one that showed a higher frequency of negative impact with a percentage of 38.3%. Conclusion: The results of the OHIP-14 sp Lima in the total of evaluated migrants were low in percentage terms, generating mostly an average of a positive impact. However, it cannot be ruled out that sociodemographic factors such as sex and levels of education; they were factors that did generate a negative impact, significantly affecting the results observed in one or more of the dimensions evaluated using the OHIP-14 instrument in the present study.
Objetivo: Evaluar el impacto de la salud oral en la calidad de vida en relación a la caries dental y los determinantes sociales en migrantes venezolanos en Lima-Perú 2019. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio transversal en una población de 350 migrantes venezolanos (30.1±7,4 años; 52% Varones). Para evaluar la calidad de vida se utilizó el cuestionario “Oral Health Impact Profile spanish versión Lima” (OHIP-14sp Lima). Se determinó el impacto de la salud oral en la calidad de vida según el promedio de puntaje general y por dimensiones. Posteriormente, se realizó un examen clínico evaluando la presencia de lesiones de caries dental (Índice CPOD) y se recolectaron datos sociodemográficos por medio de una encuesta. Resultados: El impacto en la calidad de vida en relación a la salud oral medido mediante el instrumento OHIP-14sp Lima generó un porcentaje de Impacto del (10.6%) en la población migrante. Donde la dimensión de “Malestar Psicológico” fue la que demostró más frecuencia de problema asocia¬do a la calidad de vida con un porcentaje de (38,3%). Conclusión: El impacto en la calidad de vida en relación a la salud oral en el grupo de migrantes evaluados fue bajo en relación al puntaje total del OHIP-14sp Lima. Sin embargo los componentes como severidad de caries dental, sexo y nivel de instrucción, fueron los factores que si generaron un Impacto significativo dentro de una o varias de las dimensiones del OHIP-14-sp Lima.
