The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of oral burning in a dry mouth cohort of patients and to determine associated factors.
A retrospective cohort study was conducted by reviewing the charts of 170 patients who presented to Carolinas Medical Center's Department of Oral Medicine from January 2004 to June 2009. Information collected from their charts was extensive.
Forty percent (68 of 170) of dry mouth patients had a concomitant complaint of oral burning. Sixty-four were female and 4 were male. The mean age was 61.1 years (range 25-89). Cofactors associated with oral burning included age (OR 1.03, CI 1.00-1.05, P = .028) and use of herbal medications (OR .26, CI .10-.67, P = .005).
Oral burning is often concomitant with oral dryness. Targeting factors associated with oral dryness may help alleviate an oral burning complaint in select populations.
本研究旨在评估口干患者队列中口腔烧灼感的患病率，并确定相关因素。
通过回顾2004年1月至2009年6月在卡罗莱纳州医疗中心口腔医学科就诊的170例患者的病历，进行了一项回顾性队列研究。从他们的病历中收集的信息非常广泛。
40%（170例中的68例）口干患者伴有口腔烧灼感主诉。其中64例为女性，4例为男性。平均年龄为61.1岁（范围25 - 89岁）。与口腔烧灼感相关的辅助因素包括年龄（比值比1.03，置信区间1.00 - 1.05，P = .028）和草药使用（比值比.26，置信区间.10 - .67，P = .005）。
口腔烧灼感常与口腔干燥同时存在。针对与口腔干燥相关的因素可能有助于缓解特定人群的口腔烧灼感主诉。
