Investigation of temporomandibular joint diseases and related factors in hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study
Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of temporomandibular joint diseases (TMD) among hemodialysis (hd) patients and to explore the association between sociodemographic and laboratory parameters and the occurrence of TMD.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 81 hd patients. Sociodemographic characteristics and laboratory parameters of the participants were collected. TMD was assessed using the fonseca anamnestic test. Statistical analysis was performed using spss-22.
Results: Among the 81 participants, 39 (48.1%) were female and 42 (51.9%) were male, with a mean age of 58.2±15.27 years. TMD was detected in 50 patients (61.7%). Significant associations were found between TMD and the presence of comorbid diseases (p=0.002), low hemoglobin levels (p=0.001), and low albumin levels (p=0.002).
Conclusion: the study identified comorbid diseases, low hemoglobin, and low albumin as significant factors associated with TMD in hd patients. These findings suggest that heightened awareness and targeted management of these risk factors may improve clinical outcomes for hd patients with TMD. Enhanced understanding among clinicians regarding the high incidence and related factors of TMD in this patient population could lead to more effective treatment strategies.
