Abstract
Abstract
Objective
This systematic review aimed to review the reliability and validity of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaires for Brazilian children and adolescents. Also, the cross-cultural adaptation was evaluated.
Methods
This systematic review is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022300018) and was performed based on the COSMIN guideline. Electronic searches were performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Lilacs, BVS (BIREME), Scielo, and Embase databases until March 2023 by two independent reviewers. There was no restriction on time or language. The following studies were included: validation studies and cross-cultural adaptation of OHRQoL instruments into Brazilian Portuguese; studies that evaluated the measurement properties of OHRQoL questionnaires in children and adolescents and that reported at least one of the measurement properties: reliability, internal consistency, error measurement, content validity, construct validity, criterion validity, discriminant validity, and/or convergent validity. The following were excluded: studies of systematic reviews of OHRQoL measures; studies reporting OHRQoL assessment through instruments; construction (development) and validation of a new instrument; questionnaires that had a single item; and validation for Portuguese from Portugal. The cross-cultural adaptation process and psychometrics of the included studies were verified.
Results
6556 articles were identified, and 19 manuscripts were included. All studies were conducted in Brazil, and the age of the participants ranged from 2 to 15.42 years old. Sixteen articles presented the cross-cultural validation steps. Cronbach's alpha of the revised instruments ranged from 0.59 to 0.86.
Conclusions
It can be concluded that most studies provided information and evidence regarding validity, reliability, translation, and cultural adaptation.
