To determine the association between cheek-biting and depression in patients visiting dental clinics for routine check-up..
The case-control study was conducted at Ameen Medical and Dental Centre, Karachi, from July 2016 to January 2017, and comprised patients coming for routine dental check-up with complaint of pain and burning in oral cavity. The subjects were divided into two equal groups of cases with cheek-biting and controls without cheekbiting. Data was collected with the help of a self-administered questionnaire and depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9scale. Those with score>19 were labelled as depressed. Data was analysed using Stata 11.
There were 70 subjects in two groups of 35(50%) cases and as many controls. The mean age for the cases was 32.86}12.68 years and for the controls it was 34.23}14.47 years. Among the cases, there were 23(65.7%) females and there were 19(54.3%) among the control. Multivariate logistic regression showed depression was significantly associated with cheek-biting (p<0.05).
Depression and cheek-biting were found to be significantly associated.
确定在牙科诊所进行常规检查的患者中咬颊与抑郁之间的关联。
病例对照研究于2016年7月至2017年1月在卡拉奇的阿明医疗和牙科中心进行，纳入因口腔疼痛和灼痛前来进行常规牙科检查的患者。将受试者分为两组，一组为咬颊病例组，另一组为无咬颊对照组，每组人数相等。借助自填问卷收集数据，并使用患者健康问卷-9量表评估抑郁情况。得分>19分者被标记为抑郁。使用Stata 11软件进行数据分析。
两组各有70名受试者，其中35例（50%）为病例组，对照组人数相同。病例组的平均年龄为32.86±12.68岁，对照组为34.23±14.47岁。病例组中有23名（65.7%）女性，对照组中有19名（54.3%）女性。多因素逻辑回归显示，抑郁与咬颊显著相关（p<0.05）。
发现抑郁与咬颊显著相关。
