Perspective of COVID-19 Patients on The Relationship Between Oral Health and COVID-19: Responses During COVID-19 Home-Quarantine

Öz:
Objective: Patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have been reported to have a variety of oral symptoms, including acute periodontal lesions. However, there are a limited number of studies in the literature reporting the views of COVID-19 patients on oral health. The present study aims to examine the views of COVID-19 patients in-home quarantine regarding the possible relationship between oral health and COVID-19. Material and Methods: A face-to-face interview was conducted by the filiation team with 500 patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 in-home quarantine, visited between January and April 2021. The patients were asked the question, “Do you think there is a relationship between COVID-19 and oral health?” The answers were analyzed by age, gender, and education level. Results: Of the 500 patients (290 female, age±SD, 38.2±12.7), 216 (43.2%) replied "yes". 50.7% of the females and 32.9% of the males responded stating that there is a relationship (p<0.05). Among the patients, 54.9% of those responded as "there is a relationship" were Bachelor’s/Master's graduates, while 66% of the patients who said, "there is no relationship" were primary school graduates (p<0.05). Conclusions: Among COVID-19 patients in-home quarantine, especially women and patients with higher education levels reported that there may be a relationship between oral health and COVID-19. It is crucial to inform all segments of society about the necessity of improving and maintaining oral hygiene during COVID-19 to reduce both the oral bacterial load and the risk of potential bacterial super-infections.

COVID-19 Hastalarının Ağız Sağlığı ve COVID-19 arasındaki İlişki Hakkındaki Görüşü: COVID-19 Ev Karantinası Esnasında Verilen Yanıtlar

Öz:
Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) olan hastaların akut periodontal lezyonlar dahil olmak üzere çeşitli oral semptomları olduğu bildirilmektedir. Ancak literatürde COVID-19 hastalarının ağız sağlığına ilişkin görüşlerini bildiren sınırlı sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, evde karantinaya alınan COVID-19 hastalarının ağız sağlığı ve COVID-19 arasındaki olası ilişkiye ilişkin görüşlerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak-Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında evde karantinaya alınan filiasyon ekibi tarafından COVID-19 tanılı 500 hasta ile yüz yüze görüşme yapılmıştır. “COVID-19 ile ağız sağlığı arasında bir ilişki var mı?” sorusuna ait cevaplar yaş, cinsiyet ve eğitim düzeyine göre analiz edildi. Veriler ki-kare testleri kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: 500 hastanın (290 kadın, yaş±SD, 38.2±12.7) 216'sı (%43.2) "evet" yanıtını verdi. Kadınların %50,7'si ve erkeklerin %32,9'u bir ilişki olduğunu belirtti (p<0,05). “İlişki var” diyen hastaların %54,9'u Lisans/Yüksek Lisans mezunu iken, “ilişkisi yok” diyenlerin %66'sı ilkokul mezunu olduğu bulundu (p<0,05). Sonuç: Evde karantinaya alınan COVID-19 hastaları arasında, özellikle kadınlar ve eğitim düzeyi yüksek olan hastalar, ağız sağlığı ile COVID-19 arasında bir ilişki olabileceğini bildirdi. Hem oral bakteri yükünü hem de potansiyel bakteriyel süper enfeksiyon riskini azaltmak için COVID-19 sırasında ağız hijyenini geliştirmenin ve sürdürmenin gerektiğine dair toplumun tüm kesimlerini bilgilendirilmesi önem taşımaktadır.
