Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a systemic disease with a major burden on several life aspects, including oral health. As life expectancy has improved in CKD patients, oral health status has become important regarding their quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate oral health and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in CKD patients.
This was a cross-sectional study. Patients' age, gender, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) stage were recorded. Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was used to evaluate OHRQoL. Decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index was utilized to record oral health status. SPSS software was used to analyze data. One-way ANOVA, t-test and Pearson/Spearman correlations were used. < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
One hundred and four patients participated; 60.6% male versus 39.4% female. Mean age was 52.1 ± 18.1 years. The most frequent eGFR stage was 5 (41.2%). Mean DMFT score was 18.7 ± 8.5. Mean OHIP-14 score was 14.82 ± 5.86. DMFT score was significantly correlated with OHIP-14 total score as well as its physical domains ( < 0.05). The correlation between eGFR stage and OHIP-14/DMFT score was both statistically significant ( = 0.03/P = 0.02, respectively).
DMFT score was significantly correlated with OHRQoL in CKD patients, especially regarding its physical domains. Paying attention to fulfill dental treatment needs seems mandatory to improve OHRQoL and overall quality of life in these patients.
慢性肾脏病（CKD）是一种全身性疾病，对包括口腔健康在内的多个生活方面造成重大负担。随着CKD患者预期寿命的提高，口腔健康状况对其生活质量变得至关重要。本研究的目的是调查CKD患者的口腔健康和口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）。
这是一项横断面研究。记录患者的年龄、性别和估计肾小球滤过率（eGFR）分期。使用口腔健康影响程度量表-14（OHIP-14）评估OHRQoL。采用龋失补牙（DMFT）指数记录口腔健康状况。使用SPSS软件分析数据。采用单因素方差分析、t检验和Pearson/Spearman相关性分析。P<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
104例患者参与研究；男性占60.6%，女性占39.4%。平均年龄为52.1±18.1岁。最常见的eGFR分期为5期（41.2%）。平均DMFT评分为18.7±8.5。平均OHIP-14评分为14.82±5.86。DMFT评分与OHIP-14总分及其身体领域均显著相关（P<0.05）。eGFR分期与OHIP-14/DMFT评分之间的相关性均具有统计学意义（分别为P = 0.03/P = 0.02）。
DMFT评分与CKD患者的OHRQoL显著相关，尤其是在身体领域方面。关注满足这些患者的牙科治疗需求似乎是改善其OHRQoL和整体生活质量的必要条件。
