This study aimed to determine if air pollution affected the risk of periodontitis outpatient visits. We collected the records of 56,456 periodontitis outpatient visits in Hefei, China, from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2021. The relationship between air pollution and periodontitis outpatient visits was evaluated using distributed lag nonlinear and generalized linear models. Additional analyses were performed, stratifying the data by age, season, and sex. Subgroup analyses showed a significantly higher risk of periodontitis outpatient visits due to NO exposure during the warm season compared with the cold season. Moreover, O exposure was associated with a lower risk of periodontitis outpatient visits in the cold season. The findings suggest that NO exposure is associated with an increased risk of periodontitis outpatient visits, whereas O exposure is associated with a decreased risk of periodontitis outpatient visits. Season is found to be an effect modifier in these associations.
本研究旨在确定空气污染是否会影响牙周炎门诊就诊的风险。我们收集了 2014 年 1 月 1 日至 2021 年 12 月 31 日期间中国合肥的 56456 例牙周炎门诊就诊记录。使用分布式滞后非线性和广义线性模型评估空气污染与牙周炎门诊就诊之间的关系。此外，还按年龄、季节和性别对数据进行了分层分析。亚组分析表明，与寒冷季节相比，温暖季节 NO 暴露会显著增加牙周炎门诊就诊的风险。此外，O 暴露与寒冷季节牙周炎门诊就诊风险降低相关。研究结果表明，NO 暴露与牙周炎门诊就诊风险增加相关，而 O 暴露与牙周炎门诊就诊风险降低相关。季节是这些关联中的一个效应修饰因子。
