“…From its definition in 2007 to now, ECOHIS has been translated and validated in different countries to ensure an intercultural adaptation of the questionnaires but maintaining the same measuring method, which generally showed an acceptable degree of success [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] ( Table 1). However, it has not been widely applied yet in Italy, with the recent exception of Ferrazzano et al, who assessed changes in oral health-related quality of life and body growth in children aged 3-5 years following dental treatment under general anaesthesia due to severe dental caries.…”

The definition of "Oral Health and Relationship between Oral Health and Quality of Life" was recently reviewed by Patrick Hescot, president of the FDI World Dental Federation, in 2017, addressing oral health as a determinant of general and psychophysics health on quality of life. Since oral health includes a series of skills (speaking, smiling, tasting, chewing, swallowing and facial expressions), conditions such as oral pain, discomfort and/or diseases can affect quality of life at varying degree of severity. 1,2 As example, caries may determine excessive suffering, growth

“…As such, the pattern of responses was lower when compared to other studies that included samples of children who were seeking dental treatmen,t and could therefore have more oral health problems ( 22 , 24 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 38 ). In studies that included community samples, the distribution of the items was more focused on the answers with the lowest values ( 18 , 19 , 23 , 26 , 34 , 39 , 40 ), as seen in the sample studied.…”

Objective to contribute to the validation of the Early Childhood Oral Impact Scale (ECOHIS) by studying its psychometric properties when applied to a Portuguese preschool population. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted with children aged between three and five-years-old. The non-probabilistic sample included two preschools in the municipality of Lisbon. Children who agreed to participate and whose guardians signed the informed consent were included. Data collection included a questionnaire, administered to the parents, and an intraoral examination of the children. The questionnaire included the Portuguese version of ECOHIS. The intraoral examination included the caries diagnosis according to the World Health Organization criteria. Discriminant validity compared the ECOHIS score between children with and without caries experience (Mann-Whitney U-test). Cohen's d was calculated to estimate the magnitude of the difference. Reliability analysis included Cronbach's α and test-retest. Construct validity was analyzed by the correlation between the ECOHIS score and dmft (Spearman's correlation). A significance level of 5% was used. Results The sample included 104 children (mean age 4.1 years). ECOHIS values were significantly different between children with and without caries (p=0.004). The Cohen's d was 0.84. The Cronbach's was 0.78, with no significant increase in value when eliminating any of the items. The test-retest showed significant correlation (r=0.76; p=0.01). There was a significant correlation between the ECOHIS score and caries experience (r=0.28; p=0.004). Conclusion The Portuguese version of the ECOHIS showed good psychometric properties, indicating that it is a reliable and valid tool to measure the impact of oral health in preschool children.

“…Many of the tools described here have been used in different preschool populations than originally designated, such as in children with special health care needs, 63 autism, 64 hemophilia, 65 and cerebral palsy 66 . Many have been translated or cross‐culturally adapted for use in settings outside of the United States, for example, in Hong Kong, 34 India, 14 Turkey, 22 and Nigeria 18 . Others have been used to examine specific oral health issues such as malocclusion, 67 traumatic injury, 58 and bruxism 68 .…”
