Prospective cohort study evaluates patient and clinician outcomes in orthognathic surgery, indicating significant improvements.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the impact and quality of orthognathic surgery using patient and clinician-reported measures.
  • Prospective cohort study involving 33 patients undergoing orthognathic treatment via the Surgery First Approach.
  • Utilized Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Quality Outcomes in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (QOMS) questionnaires.
  • Statistical analysis conducted using chi-squared and Fisher’s exact tests.
  • Surgery significantly improved patient-reported quality of life, with total OQOL scores reducing from 40.4 pre-treatment to 20.0 at one year.
  • At one year post-surgery, all patients reported satisfaction with facial appearance, up from 25 dissatisfied pre-operatively.
