GENDER DIFFERENCES INFLUENCING DECISION OF ACCEPTING ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY
AIM: To investigate weather quality of life dimensions and age differentiate men and women with skeletal dentofacial deformities who accepted and those who refused orthognathic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 185 subjects aged 12-53 years (median= 18, interquartile range= 17-24 ; 65% women) with skeletal dentofacial deformities requiring orthognathic surgery were included. Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) composed of four dimensions – social aspect of deformity, facial esthetics concern, oral function and awareness of dentofacial esthetics was self-administrated. Statistical methods included analysis of variance and discriminant analysis. RESULTS: Canonical discriminant analysis revealed one significant function, which encompasses four dimensions of OQLQ. The most prominent differences were found between women who accepted surgery and men who refused surgery, where women who accepted surgery have more affected OQLQ dimensions than men who refused surgery (p<0.001). Oral function was the most accentuated dimension differentiating women who accepted surgery and men who refused, while social aspect is the least accentuated dimension. Men who accepted surgery are similar to women who refused surgery in quality of life dimensions. Age was not significantly different between groups. CONCLUSION: impaired quality of life influences decision of accepting orthognathic surgery for treatment of dentofacial deformities but differently in men and women. Age is not a predictor of accepting orthognathic surgery. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: This study was created under the project UNIRI BIOMED 18-22.
