BackgroundHealthy oral hygiene is crucial for overall health and well-being. Parents’ dental care knowledge and practice affect their children’s oral health. Thus, this study assessed the oral hygiene knowledge and practice in mothers of children aged 5-9 years.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 January to 31 December 2022 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Mothers’ oral hygiene knowledge and practices were assessed through a semi-structured questionnaire. Statistical analysis including the Mann–Whitney U test and Kruskal– Wallis one-way ANOVA test were performed to show average knowledge and practice variations among different socio-demographics of mothers.ResultsOut of 400 samples, the mean age of mothers was 30.94±5.15 years where majority were in Muslim faith (97%), housewife (86.8%) and came from nuclear family (68.0%). The prevalence of good knowledge was 41.2%, following 21.5% had moderately average, 18.8% had average and 18.5% mothers had poor knowledge respectively on their children’s oral hygiene. On the other hand, 45.5% mothers had good practice, following 19.5% had average practice, 18.8% had moderately average and 16.2% had poor practice behavior. Mothers’ knowledge levels were significantly (p<0.05) associated with age, education, family size, and monthly income. On the other hand, educational status and income was significantly (p<0.05) associated with mothers’ oral hygiene practices. Non-parametric analysis revealed that the average knowledge level was significantly (p<0.05) higher with respect to higher age group, educational attainment, currently working status, and whose family income was high. On the other hand, oral hygiene practice level was significantly (p<0.05) higher among mother having higher education and higher family income. Mothers’ knowledge was significantly (p<0.05) and positively correlated with the practice behavior obtained by Pearson correlation coefficient.ConclusionsThe revealed that the knowledge and practices of mothers directly influence the oral hygiene behavior of children. Mothers with sound knowledge tend to exhibit positive practices concerning their children’s oral hygiene. These findings underscore the importance of taking necessary actions to enhance both the knowledge and practices related to oral hygiene among mothers, thereby ensuring the well-being of their children.

BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) patients were susceptible to morbidity and mortality once they affected by COVID-19. These patients were more likely to develop severe disease, requiring dialysis, admission to intensive care unit. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presentations and outcomes of COVID-19 in stage 3-5 CKD patients not on dialysis.MethodsThis prospective observational study was conducted in the COVID-19 unit, at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka from September 2020 to August 2021. Hospitalized RT-PCR positive COVID-19 patients with pre-existing CKD having eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2but not yet on dialysis were enrolled. Clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded. Outcomes were observed till discharge from the hospital and followed up after 3 months of survived patients.ResultsOut of 109 patients, the mean age was 58.1(SD: ±15.4) years where 61.5% were male. Common co-morbid conditions were hypertension (89.0%), diabetes mellitus (58.7%) and ischemic heart disease (24.8%). Fever, cough, shortness of breath and fatigue were common presenting features. Most of the patients had moderate (41.3%) and severe (41.3%) COVID-19. Sixty-six patients (60.6%) developed AKI on CKD. Twenty patients (30.3%) required dialysis. Death occurred in 16 patients (14.7%) and 12 patient’s (11%) required ICU admission and 6 patients (9.1%) achieved baseline renal function at discharge. We identified risk factors like low haemoglobin, lymphopenia, high CRP, high procalcitonin, high LDH and low SpO2in patients who did not survive. Seventy-six patients were followed up at 3rd month where 17 patients were lost. Ten patients (27.0%) achieved baseline renal function who had persistent AKI at discharge and 34 patients (87.1%) remained stable who had stable renal function at discharge.ConclusionThe stage 3-5 chronic kidney patients with COVID-19 are vulnerable to severe to critical morbidity and mortality with higher incidence of AKI which demands a special attention to this group of patients.
