| الوصف: | Aims : The purpose was to examine the association between oral conditions and other symptoms in long‐term care facilities during the last days of life. Methods : A retrospective case‐control study approach was used in this study, with the Minimum Data Set (MDS, ver. 3.0 2015) that was maintained and administrated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Residents with oral conditions ( n = 4304) were selected with any oral conditions (e.g., ulcers, inflamed/bleeding gums, mouth/facial pain). The control cases ( n = 12 912) were selected using propensity analysis. Results : Oral conditions had significant impacts on depression, poor appetite, pain, shortness of breath, and constipation. Although no statistically significant differences in trouble sleeping, vomiting, internal bleeding, and dehydration were found between the cases with oral conditions and the control, more residents with oral conditions reported trouble sleeping and dehydration compared to the control. Conclusions : It is important to provide preventive and proactive intervention for oral conditions, not only to minimize the negative effects of oral conditions on other symptoms in long‐term care facilities, but also to share philanthropic support with people who might be suffering other symptoms due to oral conditions at the end of life. |
