Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the oral health behaviors of severe elderly patients with non-intubation before and after admission. Methods: A total of 284 non-intubated elderly patients in neurology department and neurosurgical monitoring room of 6 third-grade general hospitals in 6 cities of Shanxi Province were selected by convenient sampling method. The WHO oral health epidemiological investigation program was used for questionnaire survey. Results: (1) Oral hygiene measures before admission: brushing and gargle were 71 (26.5%) and 54 (19.0%) ≥ 2 times per day; the use of wooden toothpicks, plastic toothpicks, and dental floss were 62 (23.1%), 7(2.6%), and 5 (1.9%), respectively; (2) Oral hygiene measures after admission: 43 (16.0%), 68 (23.9%), 46 (17.2%), 4(1.5%), and 5 (1.9%) respectively; (3) The frequencys of brushing, mouthwash, wooden toothpicks, plastic toothpicks, and dental floss in elderly patients before and after admission were statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: The oral health behaviors of elderly patients are poor and are not improved after hospitalization. Conversely, behaviors other than sputum are significantly attenuated. It is necessary to improve the elderly patients’ oral health behavior and to see if they could improve the clinical outcomes.
