The oral health-related quality of life in diabetic patients is regarded as a significant factor for assessing their dental health. This study aimed to examine the current research state, frequently utilized research instruments, and factors impacting the oral health quality of life in individuals with diabetes.
Our review was conducted according to the PRISMA extended guidelines for scoping review. We conducted a literature review on the oral health and quality of life of diabetic patients using PubMed, Embase, and additional databases. This research proposal has been formally submitted to the Open Science Framework.
Out of 3827 materials, merely 17 publications satisfied the review requirements for our study. The search period extended from the inception of the library until Feb 5, 2024. The research encompassed seven countries, including China, the United States, and Iran, utilizing the Oral Health Evaluation Index for the Elderly and the Oral Health Impact Scale as prevalent assessment instruments. The quality of life connected to oral health was predominantly low among diabetic patients, influenced by socio-demographic characteristics, oral health status, biochemical indicators, psychosocial elements, lifestyle choices, and oral-related factors.
The oral health-related quality of life among diabetic patients is typically diminished. Oral health care professionals must devise strategies to promptly identify, assess, and manage the factors influencing the oral health-related quality of life in diabetic patients, while incorporating necessary preventive measures and screenings to enhance oral disease prevention in routine evaluations.
糖尿病患者的口腔健康相关生活质量被视为评估其牙齿健康的重要因素。本研究旨在考察糖尿病患者口腔健康相关生活质量的当前研究状况、常用的研究工具以及影响因素。
我们按照PRISMA扩展的范围综述指南进行综述。我们使用PubMed、Embase和其他数据库对糖尿病患者的口腔健康和生活质量进行了文献综述。本研究方案已正式提交至开放科学框架。
在3827份材料中，仅有17篇出版物符合我们研究的综述要求。检索期从数据库建立之初至2024年2月5日。该研究涵盖了七个国家，包括中国、美国和伊朗，使用老年人口腔健康评价指数和口腔健康影响量表作为常用评估工具。糖尿病患者中与口腔健康相关的生活质量普遍较低，受社会人口学特征、口腔健康状况、生化指标、心理社会因素、生活方式选择以及口腔相关因素的影响。
糖尿病患者的口腔健康相关生活质量通常较低。口腔保健专业人员必须制定策略，以便及时识别、评估和管理影响糖尿病患者口腔健康相关生活质量的因素，同时纳入必要的预防措施和筛查，以在常规评估中加强口腔疾病的预防。
