Although there are numerous instruments for oral mucositis (OM) assessment in adults, there is a lack of validated instruments for use in children. The objectives of this systematic review were to describe literature-based items that should be considered for a pediatric mucositis scale and other issues that should be considered when assessing mucositis in children. Literature search of PubMed and bibliography searches identified articles relevant to the assessment of mucositis and mucositis assessment studies in children. The elements established from the literature were grouped under objective, subjective, and functional items. Other issues that require consideration include the conditions for the assessment of the oral cavity and the etiology of OM. The resultant list included 23 items that have been used in mucositis assessment scales. This list of items may be used as an initial step in developing a new pediatric OM scale that particularly focuses on the unique issues in children.
虽然有许多用于评估成人口腔黏膜炎（OM）的工具，但缺乏经过验证的用于儿童的工具。本系统评价的目的是描述基于文献的、应纳入儿科黏膜炎量表的项目，以及在评估儿童黏膜炎时应考虑的其他问题。通过对PubMed进行文献检索和参考文献检索，确定了与儿童黏膜炎评估及黏膜炎评估研究相关的文章。从文献中确定的要素分为客观、主观和功能项目。其他需要考虑的问题包括口腔评估的条件和口腔黏膜炎的病因。最终列出的清单包含了23个已用于黏膜炎评估量表的项目。这份项目清单可作为开发新的儿科口腔黏膜炎量表的第一步，该量表特别关注儿童的独特问题。
