Table 5 Correlations between overall, subscale and general health mean scores in caregivers (n = 75) (below the diagonal) and children (n = 75) (above the diagonal)

From: A comparative assessment of oral health-related quality of life of children born with orofacial clefts in Sudan and their caregivers'

  1. **Correlation is significant at the 0.01, level (2-tailed)
  2. *Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed)
  3. Treatment expectations and the global health perceptions for both children and caregivers' (Table 6) showed that caregiver scored higher than their children, but the difference was statistically insignificant (p < 0.05)
