------>fullAbstract=BACKGROUND: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a multidimensional concept regarding quality of life (QOL) as it relates specifically to health and disease. The effect of ongoing hemodialysis on a person~s oral health can be determined by clinical variables, but these do not reflect the person~s perception of health versus illness. The authors conducted a study to determine the periodontal status, attitude toward oral health and self-perceived oral health in patients undergoing hemodialysis, as well as to evaluate the effect of oral health on QOL within this group. METHODS: Patients undergoing hemodialysis were evaluated for socio-demographic and periodontal variables. The authors evaluated oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) by means of the short-form Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and the General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). They measured perceived oral health by asking a single question. RESULTS: The study involved 47 patients undergoing hemodialysis. Plaque index score, gingival index score, probing depth and bleeding-on-probing status were 2.21 +/- 0.66, 1.24 +/- 0.77, 2.17 millimeters +/- 0.53 mm and 33.51 percent +/- 24.58 percent, respectively. Participants reported being uncomfortable when eating or swallowing. Participants reported being sensitive to hot or cold (69.8 percent), having a worse sense of taste (90.8 percent) and having painful aching in the mouth (72.1 percent). The mean OHIP-14 and GOHAI scores were 19.40 +/- 7.74 and 15.72 +/- 8.68, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The self-perceived health of 72.7 percent of participants undergoing hemodialysis was fair or poor, and the impact of OHRQOL was moderate, which means that oral health was not a major concern. These results underscore the importance of using subjective and self-reported oral assessments to determine more convenient and satisfying treatment approaches for each patient. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Clinicians should use oral health assessment tools to determine individual treatment and approaches to promote the oral health of patients undergoing hemodialysis and improve their QOL.
