Abstract

Abstract: Objective To analyze the oral frailty prevalence and its influencing factors in hospitalized elderly patients with comorbidities. Methods A total of 253 elderly patients with comorbidities who were hospitalized in Department of Geriatric of five hospitals from October 2023 to January 2024 were enrolled in this study. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect demographic data and perform comprehensive geriatric assessments. Oral frailty and oral health status were assessed by Oral Frailty Index-8(OFI-8) and Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors for oral frailty in elderly patients with comorbidities. Results A total of 253 cases were enrolled, and 74.7% (189/253) presented with oral frailty. Compared with non-oral frailty group,oral frailty group had older average age,lower number of remaining teeth, higher OHAT score, higher prevalence of using dentures, frailty, malnutrition, cognitively impaired, dependence in daily living (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed denture use (OR=6.396, 95% CI:2.827-14.467, P<0.001), high OHAT score (OR=1.632, 95% CI:1.329-2.005, P<0.001), and frailty (OR=3.255, 95% CI:1.271-8.335, P=0.014) were risk factors for oral frailty in elderly patients with comorbidities. Conclusions Older patients with multiple comorbidities have a high incidence of oral frailty, which is associated with denture use, high OHAT scores, and frailty status. Precise clinical interventions should be enhanced to slow the progression of oral frailty.
