Medical status of 1,500 patients attending a primary health care dental practice was examined by means of patient self-completed health questionnaire and by structured verbal interview by a dentist. Relevant medical histories and/or drug therapies affecting the practices of dentistry were found in 27.7% of patients. Problems identified included cardiovascular disease (10.4%), endocarditis risks (5.8%), hepatitis (7.9%), leukaemias (0.3%), bleeding tendencies (3%), drug allergies (7.0%), including penicillin allergy (3.6%) and intake of drugs affecting dentistry (6.0%). For most of these categories there was a marked increase in prevalence with increasing age and many categories contained many more women than could be expected from the male/female distribution of the total patient group.
通过患者自行填写的健康问卷以及牙医进行的结构化口头访谈，对一家初级医疗保健牙科诊所的1500名患者的医疗状况进行了检查。在27.7%的患者中发现了影响牙科治疗的相关病史和/或药物治疗情况。确定的问题包括心血管疾病（10.4%）、心内膜炎风险（5.8%）、肝炎（7.9%）、白血病（0.3%）、出血倾向（3%）、药物过敏（7.0%），包括青霉素过敏（3.6%）以及影响牙科治疗的药物摄入情况（6.0%）。在大多数这些类别中，患病率随着年龄的增长而显著增加，而且许多类别中的女性人数比根据整个患者群体的男女分布预期的要多得多。
