Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024. [PMID: 39091075 DOI: 10.1111/ggi.14947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
AIM Malnutrition is a prevalent health issue among hemodialysis patients. Oral frailty, a condition characterized by impairments in multiple oral health aspects and functions, has been associated with nutritional status in the general population. We aimed to determine whether oral frailty was associated with nutritional status in hemodialysis patients aged ≥50 years. Our secondary aim was to determine the prevalence of oral frailty in this population. METHODS This cross-sectional study included hemodialysis patients who were admitted to a single medical center. According to the Oral Frailty 5-item Checklist, oral frailty is characterized by the presence of two or more of the following criteria: (i) fewer teeth, (ii) difficulty in chewing, (iii) difficulty in swallowing, (iv) dry mouth, and (v) low articulatory oral motor skills. Patients' nutritional status was assessed using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between oral frailty and nutritional status (classified into three categories according to the GNRI: >98, 92-98, and <92). RESULTS In total, 152 hemodialysis patients (55 women and 97 men) with a mean age of 70.4 years were included. The prevalence of oral frailty was 61.2%. After adjusting for health characteristics and sociodemographic background, oral frailty was associated with poor nutritional status according to the GNRI (odds ratio = 2.04, 95% confidence interval = 1.02-4.09). CONCLUSIONS In this study, approximately 60% of hemodialysis patients aged ≥50 years exhibited oral frailty, and hemodialysis patients with oral frailty had poor nutritional status according to the GNRI.

Cross-Sectional Study on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life Using OHIP-14 in Migrants Children in Melilla (Spain). CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:1168. [PMID: 37508665 PMCID: PMC10377792 DOI: 10.3390/children10071168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
Quality of life is a parameter that not only evaluates clinical parameters, but also refers to the perception of the individual in his or her sociocultural context. It also refers to psychosocial aspects that have a very important impact on people's lives. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) must also be considered when assessing oral health in any population for which an oral health program is to be developed. On this premise, and taking into account the precarious situation of refugee children housed in the Temporary Center for Migrants (CETI) in Melilla (Spain), a study was conducted to assess the oral health and OHRQoL of the children housed in the aforementioned facility. For this purpose, the 120 children in care at the time of the study underwent a basic epidemiological examination according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), and their OHRQoL was assessed using the specific OHIP-14 questionnaire. The results show a state of oral health with a high caries prevalence (95%), high DMFT, and dft indices for the studied population. The oral health-related quality of life perceived by these children shows that pain and psychological discomfort are the areas rated worst by them. Thus, it is concluded that it is important to implement specific oral health programs for this population, based on caries prevention and pain management, which must also take into account the psychological and sociocultural aspects that have accompanied their lives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a systemic disease with a major burden on several life aspects, including oral health. As life expectancy has improved in CKD patients, oral health status has become important regarding their quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate oral health and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in CKD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study. Patients' age, gender, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) stage were recorded. Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was used to evaluate OHRQoL. Decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index was utilized to record oral health status. SPSS software was used to analyze data. One-way ANOVA, t-test and Pearson/Spearman correlations were used. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS One hundred and four patients participated; 60.6% male versus 39.4% female. Mean age was 52.1 ± 18.1 years. The most frequent eGFR stage was 5 (41.2%). Mean DMFT score was 18.7 ± 8.5. Mean OHIP-14 score was 14.82 ± 5.86. DMFT score was significantly correlated with OHIP-14 total score as well as its physical domains (P < 0.05). The correlation between eGFR stage and OHIP-14/DMFT score was both statistically significant (P = 0.03/P = 0.02, respectively). CONCLUSION DMFT score was significantly correlated with OHRQoL in CKD patients, especially regarding its physical domains. Paying attention to fulfill dental treatment needs seems mandatory to improve OHRQoL and overall quality of life in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) assesses the subjective perception of oral health and its impact on the quality of life. The aim of this study is to measure the OHRQoL and its determinants among adult people living in Kerman, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 5657 adult people (18-64 years) residing in the Kerman district, both in the rural and urban areas, were enrolled in the study between September 2014 and April 2018. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and the oral health indices, such as the total decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT), community periodontal index (CPI), gingival index (GI), and xerostomia, were measured by an experienced dentist. The demographic variables of gender, age, educational status, and marital status were also recorded. The impact of the studied variables on OHRQoL was evaluated with multiple logistic regression. RESULTS Participants were 2239 (39.58%) men, and average age was 45.39. The mean scores for OHRQoL, DMFT, CPI and GI were respectively: 24.07 (7.76), 10.7 (6.86), 0.76 (0.96), 0.63 (0.8). The frequency of people with xerostomia was 37.4. 301 (53.3%) of people had poor quality of life related to oral health. In multivariable analysis, there was a statistically significant increase in OHRQoL with an increase in the DMFT (P < 0.001), xerostomia (P < 0.001), CPI, (P < 0.001). Men had a significantly higher OHIP score than women (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION According to the results of this study, DMFT, xerostomia, and CPI scores are strongly related to OHIP scores. In addition, between CPI and GI scores, the CPI score is the better predictor.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58050584. [PMID: 35630001 PMCID: PMC9144554 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58050584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 04/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of global death with a rising prevalence and a heavy economic burden. Periodontal disease has been associated with cardiovascular diseases—including incident coronary heart disease, peripheral artery disease and ischemic stroke. The study evaluates the quality of life of patients with cardiovascular and periodontal disease from the point of view of oral health by using the short version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Materials and Methods: This study included a total of 221 patients (61.86 ± 15.03 years old) selected from the Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, Romania. The participants self-completed the OHIP-14 questionnaire and they benefited from an oral health examination conducted to assess the presence and the severity of periodontal disease. Results: Out of the 147 patients with cardiovascular disease, 77.5% had periodontal disease (32.6% stage I, 29.2% stage II, and 15.6% stage III and IV). The presence of periodontal disease was associated with a lower oral-health-related quality of life (p < 0.001, ANOVA) and with a higher OHIP-14 score in patients with cardiovascular disease (18.67 ± 8.17, p < 0.001 ANOVA). No significant difference was observed concerning patient sex and background; however, age, body mass index and the lack of an appropriate oral hygiene routine had a strong association with the individual quality of life. The general OHIP-14 score was higher in patients with periodontal disease and associated cardiovascular disease, the presence of both cardiovascular and periodontal disease being associated with a lower quality of life. Conclusions: By increasing the patients’ awareness to oral healthcare measures, better outcomes and improved oral-health-related quality of life could be observed.

Oral Health-Related Quality of Life and Missing Teeth in an Adult Population: A Cross-Sectional Study from Poland. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19031626. [PMID: 35162649 PMCID: PMC8834766 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19031626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2021] [Revised: 01/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) using the measures Geriatric/General Oral Health Assessment (GOHAI) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) in relation to missing teeth in the Polish population aged 20–79. This was a cross-sectional study carried out among 1112 randomly selected participants. The mean age was 48.72 and mean number of teeth was 20.12. Altogether, in the GOHAI, the percentage that gave a positive response to each question ranged from 3.3% to 48.0%; in the OHIP-14, these answers ranged from 2.4% to 25.1%. The GOHAI measure was statistically significant, with more grouping variables than the OHIP-14 measure. Both measures showed significant associations with gender, age, dry mouth, education, professional status, number of teeth, and upper and lower total dentures. We detected a significant relationship between oral health–related quality of life and the factors influencing the presence or absence of dentition. Missing teeth were statistically associated with GOHAI, OHIP-14, advanced age, self-reported dry mouth, lower education, higher Body Mass Index (BMI), lower professional status, diabetes, myocardial infraction, and total dentures in upper or/and lower jaws. However, edentulous individuals had two times higher risk of having an OHIP-14 score above the median. This suggests that oral health practitioners should work to prevent oral diseases that lead to tooth loss in their patients, starting from an early age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a general assumption that periodontal disease is highly prevalent among patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis. The aim of the study to estimate the frequency of periodontitis in patients on hemodialysis among a sample of the Egyptian population, as well as the correlation between different clinical parameters of periodontal status with serum creatinine and blood urea. This may rule out the bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and renal failure in patients on hemodialysis. METHODS The study was conducted on 263 hemodialysis patients (165 males and 98 females) at three dialysis centers in Benha Governorate, Egypt (Benha Hospital, Tukh hospital, Qalyub hospital). Periodontal parameters including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), clinical attachment level (CAL), and probing pocket depth (PPD) had been recorded in these patients. Serum urea and creatinine levels had been measured, the data had been collected and undergone statistical analysis. RESULTS Frequency of periodontitis was 85.6% with stage III is the most prevalent stage. There was a significant positive strong correlation between age and periodontitis stage (rs = 0.707, p < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between clinical parameters and serum creatinine level. CONCLUSION In the present study, a high frequency of periodontitis had been found among ESRD patients on hemodialysis in the severe form (stage III) periodontitis. There was a significant direct correlation between the severity of periodontitis and CAL with a duration of hemodialysis. There was a weak insignificant association between periodontal indices (PD, BOP, and plaque score) and duration of hemodialysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This retrospective study evaluates intraoral surgical and conservative treatment need in patients with a chronic kidney end-stage disease, depending on the duration of dialysis treatment and the causative nephrological disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study is based on data of patients referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the University Hospital Erlangen, Germany, prior to kidney transplantation between January 2015 and March 2020. The necessity for oral surgical or dental therapy was determined by clinical and radiological examinations. Data on renal replacement therapy, cause of underlying renal disease, lifestyle, and general health were collected. RESULTS Data of N = 89 patients demonstrated that surgical treatment need depends on dialysis duration (p = 0.042). Patients, who had been dialyzing for 2 to 3 years showed the highest need for surgical intervention (80.0%; p = 0.024), followed by dialysis patients with a dialysis time of more than 3 years (48.1%). Similarly, dialysis patients in the second or third year of dialysis had the highest need for conservative treatment (73.3%; p > 0.05), followed by 55.6% of dialysis patients in the third year of dialysis. CONCLUSIONS Operative and conservative treatment is essential to optimize subsequent kidney transplantation. The greatest necessity could be detected for patients in the second and third years of dialysis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Oral health addressing surgical and conservative treatment need depends on the duration of dialysis in patients with a chronic kidney end-stage disease.

Improving the measurement of oral health-related quality of life: Rasch model of the oral health impact profile-14. J Dent 2021; 114:103819. [PMID: 34560224 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2021.103819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) is the most frequently used instrument to measure oral health-related quality-of-life (OHRQoL) in adults. Despite its popularity, its psychometric properties have been predominantly investigated based on the classical test theory while the fundamental principles of measurement have not been fully assessed. Therefore, our aim was to investigate to what extent the OHIP-14 meets the fundamental requirments of measurements. METHODS We used the Rasch model to explore person-item-targeting, unidimensionality, local independence of items, invariance (differential-item-functioning, DIF), and the order of thresholds between response-options in the German version OHIP-14. We used data from osteoarthritis patients because hand disabilities and joint pain might influence oral hygiene. Furthermore, osteoarthritis in the temporomandibular-joint directly affects oral functioning. RESULTS Five-hundred sixteen patients were included (mean age 66.5 years [±10.2; ranging from 34 to 89]; 71.3% [368] females). The OHIP-14 median total score was 0 (interquartile-range from 0 to 4), indicating a right-skewed distribution because many patients reported good OHRQoL. The instrument was found unidimensional. However, there was strong evidence of local dependency, disordered thresholds between response-options, and age-related DIF for item 5. A revised scoring scheme with three instead of five answer-options in all items and eliminating two items resolving local dependency, the newly adapted OHIP-12, showed better reliability and item-fit to the Rasch model than the original OHIP-14. CONCLUSIONS This study assesses, for the first time, the OHIP-14 in terms of fundamental principles of measurement and proposes an item-reduced OHIP-12 as a psychometrically more accurate version of the instrument. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The Rasch model is essential to ensure instruments' precision and clinical meaningfulness when measuring OHRQoL in clinical practice and research. The OHIP-12, derived from the OHIP-14 by deleting two items due to local dependency, with a revised scoring scheme for all items distinguishing three answer-options instead of five, represents a psychometrically improved version of the instrument.

Schmalz G, Patschan S, Patschan D, Ziebolz D. Oral health-related quality of life in adult patients with end-stage kidney diseases undergoing renal replacement therapy - a systematic review. BMC Nephrol 2020; 21:154. [PMID: 32349691 PMCID: PMC7191826 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-020-01824-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 04/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The oral health of patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT) is insufficient. Poor oral health and its components can affect the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of these patients. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the OHRQoL of adult patients under RRT. Methods A systematic literature search was performed using the terms: dialysis OR “renal disease” OR kidney OR “renal failure” OR “kidney transplantation” OR hemodialysis OR “peritoneal dialysis” OR “renal replacement therapy” AND “oral health-related quality of life”, complemented by manual search. Clinical studies including adults (age ≥ 18 years) that were published between 2009 and 2019 were included in qualitative analysis. Results Twelve out of 20 studies were included in the qualitative analysis. The majority (11/12 studies) included patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD), with a sample size between 47 and 512 participants. Two studies included patients after kidney transplantation. Only one-quarter of the investigations included a healthy control group. The overall OHRQoL was found to be reduced. The majority of studies found relationships between OHRQoL and different oral health parameters. Furthermore, several relationships between OHRQoL and general quality of life as well as disease related parameters including age, gender, diabetes, blood parameters and dialysis duration were found. OHRQoL subscales psychological/psychosocial impairment and pain were predominantly affected. Conclusions Patients under RRT suffer from a reduced OHRQoL, which is potentially influenced by oral health and disease related parameters. Interdisciplinary dental care is needed and should consider both physical and psychosocial issues.

Effects of Renal Transplantation and Hemodialysis on Patient's General Health Perception and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life: A Single-Center Cross-Sectional Study. Transplant Proc 2020; 52:785-792. [PMID: 32113695 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2020.01.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2019] [Revised: 11/27/2019] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage renal disease have a lower quality of life compared to the general population. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is of particular interest as good oral health could influence general health. This study aimed to compare dental and periodontal health status, OHRQoL, and general health perception of renal transplant (TX) and hemodialysis patients (HD) with that of healthy controls. METHODS The study included 64 TX, 63 HD, and 61 healthy patients. TX patients were also grouped according to the time elapsed after transplantation and currently use of immunosuppressive agents. The numbers of decayed, missing, and filled teeth were recorded as DMFT, and periodontal health status was evaluated. Patients' general health perceptions and OHRQoL were assessed using Short Form-36, Oral Health Impact Profile-14, and OHRQoL-United Kingdom questionnaires. RESULTS The HD groups presented significantly higher DMFT scores and periodontal scores than TX and control groups. OHRQoL-United Kingdom total scores of TX and HD groups were lower than controls (P < .05). Oral Health Impact Profile-14 total scores revealed that HD groups' OHRQoL was significantly lower than TX and control groups (P < .05). Perceptions of general health of TX patients were higher than in the HD group. CONCLUSIONS Renal transplantation has shown to increase quality of life and OHRQoL compared to hemodialysis therapy. Neither the immunosuppressive agent nor the time elapsed after transplantation were observed to be significant factors affecting OHRQoL.

Validation of a modified version of the Spanish Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI-SP) for adults and elder people. BMC Oral Health 2020; 20:61. [PMID: 32075623 PMCID: PMC7031997 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-020-1047-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2019] [Accepted: 02/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) was developed and validated in 1990 and translated into Spanish in 1999. Since then, the original version has been used in numerous studies, but it has not been re-evaluated in terms of language in the new generations of older adults. The purpose of this study is to confirm the validity of the Spanish version of the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI-SP) after three decades to be used as part of an ongoing field trial. Methods The GOHAI-SP was pilot tested in a focus group to confirm linguistic comprehension. A version with minor language changes was administered to individuals with metabolic syndrome aged 55–75 years from one health care district in southern Spain as part of an ongoing field trial (PREDIMED-Plus). Clinical evaluation included assessment of dental and periodontal status. The psychometric properties of the GOHAI-SP were evaluated through stability and internal consistency measures, and concurrent and discriminant validity were assessed. Results The new version of the GOHAI-SP was administered to 100 individuals. The application time was reduced by 7 min. The alpha value for reliability was 0.87. The item-scale correlation coefficients ranged from 0.54 to 0.75, and the test–re-test correlation for the total score was 0.75. There were inverse correlations between GOHAI-SP scores and the number of lost teeth and the decayed-missing-filled teeth index (p < 0.001). Conclusions The GOHAI-SP questionnaire remains a valid and useful tool to assess oral health-related quality of life in primary health care settings. A linguistic update of the questionnaire brought improvements to the instrument application. Trial registration The PREDIMED-Plus trial is registered in the ISRCTN registry with reference number ISRCTN89898870. Registration date: 4th July 2014.

Assessment of the Effect of Oral Health on Quality of Life and Oral-Health Indicators among ESRD Patients in Southwest Florida: A Pilot Study. Int J Dent 2019; 2019:1608329. [PMID: 31662758 PMCID: PMC6778863 DOI: 10.1155/2019/1608329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2019] [Revised: 08/07/2019] [Accepted: 08/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To determine and compare OHRQoL (oral-health-related quality of life) using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI-12) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) among patients receiving hemodialysis (HD). Methods Face-to-face interviews and intraoral examinations were conducted among 70 patients. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare each item score with demographics and dental and overall health status. Results The mean number of years on dialysis was 4.7 ± 7.5 yrs; the mean number of teeth present was 19.7 ± 11.04; median values of OHRQoL using GOHAI-12 and OHIP-14 were 52 and 64. Within GOHAI-12, limiting food (p 0.043), uncomfortable eating in front of people (p 0.045), limiting contact with people (p 0.046), and eating without discomfort (p 0.011) were significantly associated with females. Being worried (p 0.040) and self-conscious (p 0.048) were significant for age groups ≤65 years. Prevented from speaking was associated with >20 teeth (p 0.016). Being worried about oral health was associated with number of years on dialysis (p 0.042). Within OHIP-14, speech was associated with number of teeth present (p 0.024). Total inability to function was significantly associated with race (p 0.018), number of teeth (p 0.028), and edentulousness (p 0.031). Conclusions GOHAI-12 was more effective than OHIP-14 in assessing OHRQoL. However, most subjective experiences did not correlate with clinical findings. Systemic health issue like end-stage renal disease affecting QoL might have taken precedence over dental problems. Clinical assessments should be inherent in oral-health evaluation and there should be cooperation between nephrologists and dentists in promoting oral health and treating systemic conditions among HD patients.
