“…The exclusion criteria were: currently undergoing orthodontic treatment and systemic disease. Parents/caregivers were asked to answer the Brazilian version of the ECOHIS 12 and fill out a form addressing sociodemographic information. The ECOHIS was used to assess the impact of malocclusion on quality of life.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between different types of malocclusion and the impact on quality of life among preschoolers and their families. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 451 children 3-5 years of age. A clinical exam was performed to evaluate the malocclusions according to criteria proposed by Foster and Hamilton. This examination was conducted by a calibrated dentist. Parents/caregivers answered the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) for the assessment of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and the questionnaire on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, chi-square, Mann-Whitney and hierarchically adjusted Poisson regression. The prevalence of malocclusion was 28.4%. The most frequent conditions were posterior crossbite (20.4%), anterior open bite (9.5%) and increased overjet (8.4%). A significant association was found between anterior open bite and OHRQoL (p < 0.001). The adjusted analysis confirmed the association between anterior open bite and a negative impact on quality of life (PR = 2.55; 95%CI: 1.87 to 3.47; p < 0.001). Anterior open bite was associated with a negative impact on the quality of life of preschoolers.

“…It has been translated and validated in Brazilian Portuguese. 12 The majority of studies employing the ECOHIS have not found a significant association between malocclusion and impact on quality of life among preschool children. 2,3,5,13,14,15 However, many studies have considered only the presence/absence of malocclusion in the analysis.…”

“…Table 2 displays the effect size findings for validation studies with probabilistic sampling. The effect size was moderate for the study conducted by Scarpelli et al 4 , who used a cutoff of one to three teeth with caries, and in the study conducted by MartinsJúnior et al 7 , who used a cutoff of one or more teeth with caries. The effect size was large in the study by Scarpelli et al 4 when a cutoff of four or more teeth with caries was used.…”

“…4 A moderate effect size was also found for a probabilistic sample that demonstrated a high degree of statistical significance with a cutoff point of one or more teeth with caries. 7 In this situation, the cutoff point of the explanatory factor (dental caries) for an impact on quality of life likely affected the magnitude of the differences.…”

“…1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Assessing the discriminant validity of the ECOHIS in groups of children with and without caries, such studies have used traditional statistical methods involving the testing of the null hypothesis. However, some studies have demonstrated that this method is limited, as it may sometimes Declaration of Interests: The authors certify that they have no commercial or associative interest that represents a conflict of interest in connection with the manuscript.…”

Dental caries and quality of life of preschool children: discriminant validity of the ECOHIS

The aim of the present study was to confirm the discriminant validity (obtained using traditional statistical methods) of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) between preschool children with and without caries (mean score) through an evaluation of the effect size. A systematic search of electronic databases and a manual search were performed for studies published up to December 2015 involving the use of the ECOHIS for the evaluation of the impact of dental caries on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among preschool children. Two independent raters performed the selection of the studies and data extraction. Only papers published in English and Spanish were selected. No restrictions were imposed regarding the year of publication. Twelve studies were included, and the magnitude of standardized differences between the means of the "without caries" and "with caries" groups was calculated using Cohen's d. Most studies demonstrated a large magnitude in the difference between the groups evaluated. The estimate of the effect size confirmed the discriminant validity of the ECOHIS obtained through traditional statistics. Thus, the magnitude of the difference should be considered an important analytical tool for the confirmation of statistical findings regarding null hypotheses and demonstrates the clinical significance of these research results.
