“…In the present study, the preoperative values of WBC count, CRP and ESR had a significant correlation with the severity of infection (p \ 0.01) as far as pain and mouth opening were concerned. The results of the present study are supported by the study of Sharma et al [7,8], in which regression equation implied that CRP was a significant predictor of pain and mouth opening on the day of presentation. We found that on day 4, there was a significant correlation (r = 0.440; p = 0.015) between mouth opening and WBC count.…”

Objective To correlate the clinical course and biochemical analysis in odontogenic space infections. Methods A randomized prospective study was undertaken in 50 patients presenting with infections of odontogenic origin. The data were subjected to statistical analysis to corelate the values of CRP, WBC count and ESR with the clinical course of odontogenic infections. The statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS Version 17.0 clinical parameters included pain, swelling, mouth opening, dyspnea, dysphagia, hoarseness, body temperature, active discharge, length of hospital stay and number of fascial spaces involved. Results There was a significant correlation between all the clinical parameters and biochemical markers preoperatively as well as on various postoperative days. Conclusion According to the percentage rate of fall, CRP was considered as the best indicator of clinical course/ recovery of the patient, followed by WBC count and ESR, respectively.

“…Acute dental infections are a common cause of outpatient emergency visits to the maxillofacial department; classic signs of infection such as "Rubor", "Tumor", "Calor", "Dolor" and "Functio Laesa" are present to some degree in nearly all patients [1] [2]. Unknowingly, they are at a potentially life threatening situation due to the anatomical connectivity of one anatomic space to the other [1].…”

Purpose: The main objective of the current study is to determine whether it is possible to correlate the longevity of the hospitalization period (LOS) to efficacy of surgical treatment regime and severity scoring. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients met our inclusion criteria. All patient records, including results of hematologic and biochemical parameters, were recorded. The patients were later subcategorized further according to a severity score ("Low, Moderate, Severe") of their main facial space involvement. The main analysis of the study is a regression analysis model; all the variables (sex, age, CRP, white blood cell count, fever, space, and etiology) were stratified according to the overall hospital stay. A crosstab comparison was performed next; the variables were categorized and combined with hospital stay, and then entered in Spearman's rank correlation coefficient or Spearman's rho (ρ), 2-tailed (t) Test, and regression equation. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS version 23. Results: The most prevalent anatomical space infection was vestibular space abscess or cellulitis 33%, followed by an infraorbital space abscess or cellulitis 17%. Most commonly involved teeth are lower molars with 43% of the total, upper central sixth with 20% and upper molars with 10%; mandibular origin was found to be the cause in 54%. The regression equation showed no linear relation between CRP with the overall hospital stay (p > 0.05). No systemic temperature values were found to be correlated to any space involved or LOS. Logrank chi-square effect tests indicated only a significant effect of severity, p = 0.00016. The "Moderate & Severe" group compared to the "Low" group had a longer median LOS, 4.5 (2 to 8) vs 3 (1 to 8) respectively. Conclusion: The findings of this study have shown severity scoring to be statistically significant parameter in LOS prediction.
