Significant differences in OHRQoL among children with OFC were found for the well-being domain for children with CLP as reported by P-CPQ, but the symptom domain and total score showed no differences. Poorer scores were reported for children of Pacific Island descent using both questionnaires. The study findings indicate that children with OFC in New Zealand are a group who experience worse OHRQoL when referenced to normative non-OFC data. Further investigations are required to establish greater insight into specific factors influencing OHRQoL.
