IMPORTANCEUnderstanding how the quality of life of adults (Ն18 years) with peripheral facial palsy can be estimated using clinician measures of facial function and patient-reported variables might aid in counseling patients and in conducting research.OBJECTIVES To analyze associations between clinician-graded facial function and patient-reported quality of life in adults with peripheral facial palsy, compare associations between facial function and the physical and social functions of quality of life, and examine factors that might influence the associations.DATA SOURCES A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science and PsycInfo on June 4, 2020, with no restrictions on the start date. STUDY SELECTION Twenty-three studies reporting an association between clinician-graded facial function and patient-reported quality of life in adults with peripheral facial palsy were included. Facial function instruments included the House-Brackmann, Sunnybrook Facial Grading System, and electronic clinician-graded facial function assessment. Quality-of-life instruments included the Facial Disability Index and Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale.DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data extraction and qualitative synthesis were performed according to the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. Record screening, data extraction, and quality assessments were done by 2 researchers independently. Data were pooled using random-effects models. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESThe main outcome was the association between facial function and quality of life, quantified by Pearson r, Spearman ρ, or regression analysis. RESULTSIn total, 23 studies (3746 participants) were included. In the 21 studies that reported on the sex of the cohorts, there were 2073 women (57.3%). Mean or median age ranged from 21 to 64 years and mean or median duration of palsy ranged from newly diagnosed to 12 years. Bell palsy (n = 1397), benign tumor (n = 980), and infection (n = 257) were the most common etiologic factors. Pooled correlation coefficients were 0.424 (95% CI, 0.375-0.471) to 0.533 (95% CI, 0.447-0.610) between facial function and Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale total, 0.324 (95% CI, 0.128-0.495) to 0.397 (95% CI, 0.242-0.532) between facial function and Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale social function, 0.423 (95% CI, 0.322-0.514) to 0.605 (95% CI, −0.124-0.910) between facial function and Facial Disability Index physical function, and 0.166 (95% CI, 0.044-0.283) to 0.208 (95% CI, 0.031-0.373) between facial function and Facial Disability Index social function.CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Associations noted in this systematic review and meta-analysis were overall low to moderate, suggesting that only a small part of quality of life is explained by facial function. Associations were higher between facial function and physical function than social function of quality of life.

“…Following use of the original English versions, the FaCE and FDI scales have been translated and approved for use in several languages, such as French, Spanish, Italian, German, Chinese, Dutch, and Swedish (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Only the FDI has been translated and approved in the Turkish language (18). The purpose of this study was to form and validate the Turkish model of the FaCE scale for a Turkish-speaking population.…”

Objective: To transcribe and validate the Facial Clinimetric Evaluation (FaCE) scale to be able to use it in a Turkish-speaking patient population with peripheral facial paralysis (PFP). Material and Methods: The original English FaCE scale was translated according to international guidelines. Then a validation study was conducted on 37 patients with facial paralysis. The patients completed the scale twice at a 1-week interval. Internal consistency was evaluated with the Cronbach alpha coefficient. The correlations between the FaCE scale and the House-Brackmann Grading System (HBGS), the Sunnybrook Grading System (SBGS), and the Facial Disability Index (FDI) scores and structure validity were evaluated by calculating the Spearman rho correlation coefficient. Results: The FaCE scale showed internal consistency with an excellent Cronbach α value of 0.828. Test-retest reliability was shown with an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) in the range of 0.51-0.95. The FaCE scale was determined to be well correlated with the HBGS and SBGS points (r=-0.51, r=0.65, respectively). The FaCE scale face movement score showed the highest correlation with HBGS (r=-0.61). SBGS had the highest correlation with the oral function score (r=0.61). The study determined there to be a good correlation between the FaCE scale and the social/well-being function and physical function of the FDI (r=0.69, r=0.66, respectively). Conclusion:The FaCE scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the quality of life of PFP patients. The Turkısh version of the FaCE Scale showed good psychometric properties. By showing high validity and reliability, the Turkish FaCE scale can be used in Turkish-speaking patients with peripheral facial paralysis.
