title: Derivation of the short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile in Spanish (OHIP-EE-14).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The Oral Health Impact Profile is the most frequently used and validated of the Oral Health Quality of Life instruments. Several short versions have been developed; and a validation of the OHIP-49 in Spanish has been published. The objective was to develop the short version of the Oral Health Impact Profile in Spanish (OHIP-EE-14).
  
  
  METHODS
  Cross-sectional study. One hundred and thirty-one persons aged ≥60 years attending a social centre for the elderly, residents of a nursing home and persons seeking dental care at a dental school in Mexico City were interviewed and examined. The validity of each of the 49 questions was evaluated, and, to construct the short version, 14 items were selected. The perceived need for dental treatment, number of teeth, presence of coronal caries, root caries, presence of dental plaque and utilisation of removable prosthesis were measured. Internal consistency, repeatability and discriminant validity were calculated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The OHIP-EE-14 was reliable (Cronbach's-α = 0.918, ICC = 0.825). Significant associations were found between OHIP-EE-14 and the number of teeth and perceived need for dental treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The OHIP-EE-14 is a reliable and valid instrument and can be used in subjects aged 60 years and over from Mexico City.
