Oral disease, impairment, and illness: congruence between clinical and questionnaire findings

Abstract

In 1992 a questionnaire was sent to 50-year-olds in two Swedish counties. These self-report data were compared with clinical observations with regard to number of teeth, removable dentures, caries, and periodontitis. Complete information from both data sources was obtained for 1041 persons. The relevant questionnaire item explained 71% of the missing tooth variance. An agreement of 0.91 (Cohen's kappa) was obtained for removable dentures. A question about problems in opening the mouth differentiated clearly with regard to measured mouth opening ability. Toothache and tooth sensitivity were reported with 95% probability when having 22 decayed teeth and with 46% when there were no decayed teeth (58% correctly predicted). Two teeth with pockets > or = 6 mm gave 5% probability and 22 such teeth gave 39% probability of reporting migration of front teeth. The main conclusion from this study is that there is good correspondence between subjective self-reports and clinical findings, especially for those conditions that are relatively easy for the patient to observe, such as the number of teeth and the presence of dentures. Thus questionnaire data can be used for information and screening about some well-defined oral conditions.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
