Responsiveness of Hindi Version of Oral Health Impact Profile for Periodontitis (OHIP-P-HIN)

Evaluation of Responsiveness of Hindi Version of Oral Health Impact Profile for Periodontitis (OHIP-P-HIN)

Sponsor

Postgraduate Institute of Dental Sciences Rohtak

Enrollment

106 participants

Start Date

Nov 12, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Periodontitis Oral Health Quality of Life (OHQoL) Was Assessed

Summary

The distribution- and anchor-based methods will be used to estimate the Minimal Important Difference (MID) of the OHIP-P-HIN. Two established distribution-based approaches, the standardized effect size (ES) and standardized response mean (SRM) will be calculated. The ES is calculated by dividing the mean change scores in the OHIP-P-HIN from baseline by the standard deviation of the baseline scores. And the SRM are computed as ratios of the mean change score divided by its standard deviation. The anchor-based approach will be applied by using the global transition scale as the anchor.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study assesses how well a Hindi-language version of a patient-reported outcomes tool called OHIP-P-HIN (measuring the impact of gum disease on quality of life) detects meaningful improvements in patients receiving treatment for periodontitis, a serious gum disease. Researchers are calculating the smallest change in score that patients would consider meaningful, using both statistical and patient-anchored methods. Adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of periodontitis who can independently understand and complete questionnaires may be eligible, while those with systemic diseases like diabetes or HIV, pregnancy, bleeding disorders, or recent gum treatment are excluded. Participation involves completing questionnaires before and after standard periodontal (gum disease) treatment — no experimental treatments are used. This summary was generated with AI assistance to help patients understand the study in plain language.
