“…Also, females were found to report poorer QoL than males. Gender‐based differences in QoL are evident from the literature . Smoking was associated with poor QoL, and similar findings were observed in previous research on head and neck cancer patients .…”

“…The results of the multi-trait scaling analysis were satisfactory, indicating that the QLQ-OH45 has a satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity in Chinese cancer patients. For concurrent validity, all correlations were <0.4 between the QLQ-OH15 and QLQ-C30, as demonstrated in previous study (Yekaninejad et al, 2015). These results indicated the independence of the QLQ-OH15 and QLQ-C30.…”

“…A widely used method of assessing responsiveness was to evaluate the change in a measure within the context of a clinical trial involving the treatment (Anderson & Chernoff, ; Norman, Stratford, & Regehr, ). According to the literature, it is more clinically relevant to assess OHRQoL change among a group of special cancer patients undergoing specific treatment than using a more heterogeneous sample (Yekaninejad et al, ). So, a homogenous group of head and neck cancer patients undergoing surgery or radiotherapy or chemotherapy was included to calculate the responsiveness of the questionnaire.…”

Purpose The goal of our study was to evaluate the reliability, validity, responsiveness and acceptability of the Mandarin (simplified) Chinese version of the EORTC QLQ‐OH45. Methods From October 2017 to February 2018, 393 cancer patients were enrolled from three different hospitals in China. A forward and backward translation was made to develop the Mandarin (simplified) Chinese version of EORTC QLQ‐OH15. The QLQ‐C30 and QLQ‐OH15 questionnaires (which we have assembled and named QLQ‐OH45 in this paper) were self‐administered. Results were statistically analysed using SPSS 21.0. The reliability and validity tests of the questionnaires were assessed by Cronbach's α coefficient, Pearson correlation test and Mann–Whitney U tests. Responsiveness to change was measured in an independent sample of patients with head and neck cancer undergoing surgery or radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Results An acceptable internal consistency reliability for most multiple‐item scales was demonstrated, as Cronbach's α coefficients were greater than 0.7 for most multiple‐item scales, excepting for cognitive functioning (0.36) and oral health‐related QoL functioning (0.55). All domain's test–retest reliability coefficients (r) was higher than 0.8. Multi‐trait scaling analysis showed good convergent and discriminant validity. A difference in the quality of life (QoL) between older (≥65 years) and younger (<65 years) groups of patients was showed by the known‐group comparisons. Low correlations were found between the scales of the QLQ‐OH15 and QLQ‐C30 in all areas. Conclusion The Mandarin (simplified) Chinese version of QLQ‐OH45 demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties and can be used to measure the oral health‐related QoL (OHRQoL) for Chinese cancer patients.

BackgroundTooth loss contributes physically and psychologically to health, and quality of life has been a key indicator of the cancer survivors. However, it is less clear whether tooth loss has impact on cancer survivors’ quality of life. Our study aimed to investigate the association between tooth loss, toothbrushing, and quality of life in cancer survivors.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted among 9125 cancer survivors in Shanghai, China. Sociodemographic characteristics, frequency of tooth brushing, number of tooth loss were collected using a self‐reported questionnaire. Quality of life was measured using the EORTC QLQ‐C30. Chi‐square test was used to compare the distribution of tooth loss and toothbrushing frequency among various cancer sites, sociodemographic factors, socioeconomic status, health conditions. Multiple linear regression models were performed to estimate the effects of tooth loss and toothbrushing on quality of life.ResultsParticipants diagnosed with cancer of oral cavity, pharynx, and nasopharynx reported higher percentage of 11+ tooth loss. Cancer survivors with toothbrushing ≥2 times/d reported higher scores in physical, cognitive, and social function and had milder nausea and vomiting, compared with ones with toothbrushing <2 times/d. Tooth loss was associated with milder physical, role and emotional function scores, and severer fatigue, nausea/vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, and diarrhea.ConclusionsThis is the first study to investigate the impact of toothbrushing and tooth loss on quality of life among cancer survivors. Tooth loss was associated with milder physical, role and emotional function scores, and severer fatigue, nausea/vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation and diarrhea. Toothbrushing had significant positive effect on cancer survivors’ quality of life. The present study also provided several public health strategies to improve oral health among cancer survivors.
