Objective: The aim of this study is to validate the Dutch version of the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ-NL) for cleft patients who received orthognathic surgery.
Methods: To compare the OQLQ-NL with the CLEFT-Q, we used a convenience sample of thirty-two cleft patients. Using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for multiple item scales, internal reliabilities of the OQLQ-NL were evaluated.
Measuring the impact of orthognathic surgery on quality of life is of significant importance in patients with cleft deformities. Standardized tools such as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are needed to fully comprehend patients' needs and perceptions. Therefore, the availability of reliable, valid, and comprehensive questionnaires for patients is essential.
