Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of machine learning models in predicting clinically-defined Stage III/IV periodontitis using self-report questionnaires and demographic data.
- Researchers extracted relevant data from two Danish population studies to develop and validate cross-validated machine learning models, testing them with large sample sizes from both cohorts.
- Results showed that while the models demonstrated some predictive capabilities, with moderate accuracy levels, they still had limitations in sensitivity and specificity for predicting Stage III/IV periodontitis.
Background: Many patients with cirrhosis have poor oral health but little is known on periodontitis, and its clinical significance is largely unknown. This study aimed to examine the prevalence and predictors of periodontitis, and evaluate the association of periodontitis with nutritional and systemic inflammation status.
Methods: 145 patients with cirrhosis were consecutively enrolled.
Background: Associations of risk factors/indicators with periodontitis may depend on the included case criterion. The objective of the current study is to evaluate differences in outcome by applying five periodontitis case definitions for cross-sectional associations with lifestyle factors among participants of the Danish Health Examination Survey (DANHES).
Methods: A total of 4,402 adults aged 18 to 96 years from the general health examination of DANHES had a periodontal examination consisting of half-mouth registration at six sites per tooth including probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL).
Background: Periapical radiolucency is the radiographic sign of inflammatory bone lesions around the apex of the tooth. We determined the prevalence and predictors of periapical radiolucency in patients with cirrhosis and the association with systemic inflammation status and cirrhosis-related complications.
Methods: A total of 110 cirrhosis patients were consecutively enrolled.
Objective: To investigate whether intakes of Ca, vitamin D, casein and whey are associated with periodontitis and to investigate the possibility of interactions between them.
Design: Cross-sectional study. An Internet-based, 267-item FFQ was used to assess dietary intake.
