IMPAIRED ORAL HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN INDIVIDUALS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been associated with various health implications, including potential effects on oral health and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). Understanding the relationship between COPD and dental health is crucial for optimizing patient care and well-being. This review aims to assess the existing literature on the impact of COPD on oral health and OHRQoL. METHODS: The review process followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive search was conducted in the databases, resulting in 304 records. Data extraction was done by 2 reviewers separately. Data extraction variables included study ID, sample, age, gender ratio, type of study, respiratory evaluation, OHRQoL assessment, and inferences. Newcastle Ottawa scale was employed to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. RESULTS: The final selection included 3 studies eligible for qualitative synthesis. OHIP-5 and OHIP-14 were used to assess OHRQoL These studies provided valuable insights into the association between COPD and dental health. OHRQoL was negatively impacted among COPD sufferers. In addition, COPD patients demonstrated significantly fewer teeth and higher plaque index (PI) as compared to control cohorts. The risk of bias was low in the included studies. But the literature available was scarce, which warrants further longitudinal studies with a larger sample size in this regard. CONCLUSION: The evidence from the selected studies suggests a significant association between COPD and various dental health parameters, as well as their impact on OHRQoL. Dental health assessments should be integrated into COPD management to better understand disease severity and exacerbation risk. An interdisciplinary approach involving both respiratory and oral health professionals is crucial for comprehensive patient care. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms and conduct longitudinal studies to establish causal relationships. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex interplay between COPD and oral health and have implications for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
