摘要
背景:牙痛是儿童常见的一种疾病,经常导致儿童缺课。然而,关于伊朗儿童牙痛患病率及其相关因素的信息有限。目的:本研究旨在评估12岁伊朗儿童牙痛患病率及相关因素。方法:这是一项以人群为基础的横断面研究。采用多阶段整群抽样从三个省(德黑兰、克尔曼和法尔斯)招募参与者。1468名12岁学生的家长完成了一份有效问卷,评估了他们的社会经济地位和孩子在过去6个月的口腔卫生行为、牙痛和缺勤情况。采用多元随机效应logistic回归模型分析人口统计学、地理统计学和口腔卫生习惯等因素对牙痛患病率的影响。结果:儿童牙痛患病率高,有41% (95% CI = 38.4, 43.5)的儿童报告牙痛。在牙痛的儿童中,12.8%的人缺课1至7天。城市儿童的牙痛患病率明显高于城镇儿童(P
Toothache and its Determinants in 12-Year-Old Iranian Children: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Toothache is a common condition among children that often leads to school absenteeism. However, there is limited information on the prevalence of toothache and its associated factors in Iranian children. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of toothache and related factors in 12-year-old Iranian children. Methods: This was a cross-sectional population-based study. Multistage cluster sampling was used to recruit the participants from three provinces (Tehran, Kerman, and Fars). Parents of 1,468 students aged 12 years completed a valid questionnaire that assessed their socioeconomic status and the children’s oral hygiene behavior, toothache, and absenteeism in the last 6 months. A multivariate random effects logistic regression model was adopted to analyze the effect of demographic, geographic, and oral hygiene practice factors on toothache prevalence. Results: The prevalence of toothache in children was high, with 41% (95% CI = 38.4, 43.5) of the children reporting toothache. Of the children who had a toothache, 12.8% missed 1 to 7 school days. The prevalence of toothache was significantly higher in children living in cities compared to those living in towns (P
