Summary
AIMS: To develop models for prognostic prediction of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) for patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA) at 1- and 6-month follow-ups after arthrocentesis treatment with hyaluronic acid (HA) injections once a week for 4 weeks. METHODS: From a cohort of 522 adult patients with TMJ OA treated with arthrocentesis with HA injections, 510 and 463 adult patients were included in the 1- and 6-month follow-ups, respectively. Patient characteristics and history, clinical examinations, and questionnaires were recorded as potential predictors at start of treatment, and all patients underwent an identical treatment protocol. Patients' OHRQoL values at 1 and 6 months after completing the treatment were used as outcome measures. Logistic regress
