Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the geriatric status, oral health, and oral health related quality of life of stroke patients hospitalized at a rehabilitatio ward and assess the relationships among these factors. A total of 78 stroke patients participated in this cross-sectional study. The following oral examinations were performed by a dentist and dental hygienist: Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth, gingival, debris, calculus, and community periodontal index (CPI). The patients' sociodemographic and geriatric status were evaluated using the Barthel index and a mini-mental state examine (MMSE) according to their medical record and a questionnaire survey. Oral health related quality of life was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)-14 questionnaire. Except for three participants, most stroke patients had a gingival index of 2 or more, which means probing results in bleeding gums. Additionally, 53.8% of participants had a CPI code of 3 or 4, which indicates a probing depth of 4 mm or more. CPI index was significantly related to debris, calculus, and gingival index. The OHIP-14 score significantly related to the Barthel index and MMSE (p<0.05). The oral health of stroke patients in the rehabilitation ward was relatively poor and related to poor oral hygiene. Oral health related quality of life was related not to oral health but to geriatric status significantly.

이번 연구는 영남대학교의료원 재활병동에 입원 중인 뇌졸중 환자 78명을 대상으로 구강위생 및 건강, 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 검사하였으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Gingival index는 3명(3.8%)의 대상자만이 정상소견에 해당하는 code 0의 상태를 보였으며 이외 대다수의 대상자는 치은의 출혈 소견을 의미하는 code 2 이상의 수치를 보였다. CPI code의 경우에는 42명(53.8%)의 대상자가 중등도 치주염 및 중증의 치주염을 의미하는 code 3 또는 4의 상태를 보였다. CPI에 따라 대상자를 분류한 결과 치주염이 심한 그룹이 그렇지 않은 그룹에 비해 교육수준이 낮고 흡연경험이 있었으며 잔사, 치석 지수 및 치은 건강이 유의하게 불량하였다. 구강건강관련 삶의 질은 일상생활수행도 및 인지능력과 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때 재활병동에 입원 중인 뇌졸중 환자의 구강위생 상태는 개선할 필요가 있으며 이를 바탕으로 뇌졸중 환자의 구강건강의 악화를 방지하며 나아가 환자의 전신적 회복에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
