Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of oral disease in Taiwanese adolescent prisoners.

Methods: We included 1,610 participants from the National Health Insurance (NHI) Program. Outcomes were measured using the clinical version of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9-CM).

Results: The prevalence rate of oral diseases among adolescent prisoners in Taiwan was 29.38%, which was slightly higher among male (30.02%) adolescent prisoners than among female (27.34%) adolescent prisoners (p = 0.316). Among all the patients diagnosed with oral diseases, the top three disease categories were hard tissues of teeth diseases (19.01%), gingival and periodontal diseases (7.70%), and diseases of the oral soft tissues, excluding lesions specific for the gingiva and tongue (4.16%).

Conclusion: Oral disease is not rare among Taiwanese adolescent prisoners. Early prevention and appropriate treatments are important. It is also essential to explore sex-specific needs for this subpopulation.

台湾监狱青少年口腔疾病患病率：一项基于人口的研究。

摘要目的：本研究旨在了解台湾青少年囚犯口腔疾病的患病率。方法：我们从国民健康保险（NHI）计划中纳入1,610名参与者。使用国际疾病分类第九次修订版（ICD-9-CM）临床版测量结果。结果：台湾青少年犯口腔疾病患病率为29.38%，男性（30.02%）略高于女性（27.34%）（p = 0.316）。在所有被诊断为口腔疾病的患者中，排在前三位的疾病分别是牙齿硬组织疾病（19.01%）、牙龈和牙周病（7.70%）和口腔软组织疾病（不包括牙龈和舌头特异性病变）（4.16%）。结论：口腔疾病在台湾青少年囚犯中并不罕见。早期预防和适当治疗非常重要。探索这一亚群的性别特定需求也很重要。
