AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of socioeconomic characteristics on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSF).
METHODS: A total of 300 OSF patients' quality of life (QoL) data were obtained using OHRQoL-OSF and global self ratings of oral health and overall wellbeing. The socioeconomic status (SES) of participants was analyzed by using modified Kuppuswamy scale.
RESULTS: OSF patients with lower SES had worse OHRQoL as compared with those with middle and upper SES (p < 0.001). The household income of the family was found to be strongly associated with poor OHRQoL.
CONCLUSION: Socioeconomic characteristics should be considered in the holistic management of OSF as it has been strongly associated with the OHRQoL of these patients.
