Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction: Post-stroke inpatients are at risk of poor oral health for a number of reasons.
Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the oral health status and behaviours of patients who are undergoing rehabilitative treatment after stroke and to assess the association with socio-demographic factors, stroke-related factors, functional status and oral health-related behaviours.
Method: This cross-sectional study was organised at National Institute for Medical Rehabilitation. Altogether 410 post-stroke patients were enrolled in the survey. Personal medical history and functional assessment was obtained from the final medical reports of the patients. The clinical examination and data collection were conducted according to the World Health Organization (2013) criteria. Socio-demographic background and behaviours related to oral health were assessed using a questionnaire. The dental status was explained by the number of Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT). The association of socio-demographic factors, stroke and functional assessment with oral health status and behaviour was evaluated. The analysis of data was performed using the statistical software R, version 4.0.2 (R Core Team, 2020, Vienna, Austria). The level of significance was set at p < 0.05.
Results: Mean age of stroke patients was 59.21±14.74 years. Mean DMFT score was 20.13±8.08, including 3.28±4.24 decayed teeth, 15.02±10.29 missing teeth and 1.83±2.94 filled teeth score. Factors that influenced the oral health status were gender, age, occupational status, level of education, type and risk factors for stroke. Significant correlation was found between the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and oral health-related behaviours with patients brushing their teeth once a month showing the lowest value (49.80±17.38).
Conclusion: According to the results, low socio-demographic and economic status, low level of education and the Functional Independence Measure score, unemployment, the combination of risk factors for stroke and residual dysfunctions are associated with poor oral health status.
Funding: The data indicate that a series of changes are needed, for special attention and care in oral health for patients who have had a stroke.
