Abstract

BACKGROUND

High blood pressure is a worldwide issue that can go undetected. Many are unaware of such a problem due to the lack of symptoms in early stages. Visiting the dentist can be a good place to screen for such health issues. Screening dental patients at every dental visit can be of great benefit. The aim of this study was to determine if screening for blood pressure at the dental office is efficient and beneficial for patients.

METHODS

The HEYER VizOR Digital Blood Pressure Monitor was used to measure the blood pressure of all the patients visiting the dental clinic, ranging in age from 18 to 85. The study was comprised of patients who had never been diagnosed as hypertensive by a physician or if they had been diagnosed before.

RESULTS

A total of 273 participants met the inclusion criteria. One hundred and thirty-seven (50.1%) patients had high blood pressure readings compared to 136 (49.8%) patients with normal blood pressure readings. It also showed that 54 (38%) of patients with high blood pressure readings had never been diagnosed by a physician with hypertension and were unaware of their blood pressure status. In addition, 83 (63.3%) of patients who had been diagnosed with hypertension by a physician had high blood pressure readings. The data also showed that 5.3% of patients diagnosed by their physician do not take their prescribed medication.

CONCLUSION

In this study, we showed that screening blood pressure at the dental office can detect high blood pressure readings in dental patients. It is also a useful screening tool for blood pressure for diagnosed and undiagnosed patients. Screening dental patients at the dental office is a useful tool that can help in the screening for blood pressure and should be implemented at every visit.

摘要

背景

高血压是一个全球性问题,可能未被察觉。由于早期缺乏症状,许多人并未意识到存在这样的问题。看牙医可能是筛查此类健康问题的好时机。每次看牙时对牙科患者进行筛查可能会带来很大益处。本研究的目的是确定在牙科诊所进行血压筛查对患者是否有效且有益。

方法

使用海耶VizOR数字血压监测仪测量所有年龄在18至85岁之间前往牙科诊所就诊患者的血压。该研究纳入的患者包括从未被医生诊断为高血压的患者以及之前已被诊断为高血压的患者。

结果

共有273名参与者符合纳入标准。137名(50.1%)患者血压读数偏高,相比之下,136名(49.8%)患者血压读数正常。研究还表明,137名血压读数偏高的患者中有54名(38%)从未被医生诊断为高血压,且不知道自己的血压状况。此外,已被医生诊断为高血压的患者中有83名(63.3%)血压读数偏高。数据还显示,被医生诊断为高血压的患者中有5.3%未按医嘱服药。

结论

在本研究中,我们表明在牙科诊所进行血压筛查可以检测出牙科患者的高血压读数。对于已确诊和未确诊的患者,这也是一种有用的血压筛查工具。在牙科诊所对牙科患者进行筛查是一种有助于血压筛查的有用工具,并应在每次就诊时实施。
