A study analyzed factors affecting oral frailty in elderly hemodialysis patients, finding that 45.2% of these patients experienced oral frailty.
Key influences included knowledge and behavior related to oral health, physical and social frailty, dialysis adequacy, number of missing teeth, and swallowing issues.
The research highlights the need for tailored oral health management strategies by nursing staff for elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis.
