“…Value of 50 was used as the cutoff point, 50% of the maximum value. 29 In the analysis, hierarchical approach procedure was used in the multivariate regression model to select variables that reached value of P < 0.20 in the bivariate analysis. Variables with P < 0.05 in the adjusted analysis were maintained in the final regression model.…”

“…Dependent variables correspond to the total score obtained in HRQoL and OHRQoL questionnaires, so variables with 0 to 100 values were transformed into a dichotomy in this study, based on the following criteria: patients who obtained average scores equal to or less than 50 were considered to have an impact on HRQoL and OHRQoL, receiving value of 1, and patients who obtained scores above 50 were considered as having no impact on quality of life, receiving value of 0. Value of 50 was used as the cutoff point, 50% of the maximum value …”

Oral mucositis in oncologic patients is the most undesirable event of the chemotherapeutic treatment. This study aimed to identify damage to the oral cavity resulting from chemotherapy in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This is a prospective study with a sample of 42 children and adolescents evaluated for 10 consecutive weeks after diagnosis. The modified Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) was used, and data were analyzed by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (α = 5%). Changes to the normal lips and saliva were positively related to an increase in the OAG score during all 10 weeks of evaluation. Alterations to the labial mucosa were correlated with an increase in the OAG score from the 2nd to 10th week, which was also found for changes in the tongue and in the swallowing function in Weeks 1, 6, 8, 9, and 10 and for gum changes from the 5th to 7th week. No significant vocal changes were correlated with the total OAG score at any point during the monitoring period. Changes in lips, cheek and/or palatal mucosa, labial mucosa, and gum areas and in swallowing function were positively correlated with an increase in the severity of oral mucositis in patients with ALL after beginning chemotherapeutic treatment.

“…Com isso, os componentes presentes no protocolo farmacológico da solução oral para o tratamento da mucosite apresentam resultados terapêuticos eficazes, como as ações analgésicas, antiinflamatórias, antiedematosas e cicatrizantes. A ação desses fármacos permite melhorar a qualidade vida dos pacientes oncológicos, com aumento da taxa de sobrevida 25 .…”

O objetivo deste trabalho foi discutir casos de mucosite oral grave quimioinduzida, tratados com solução oral para bochecho associado a laseterapia de baixa potência em pacientes pediátricos oncológicos. As patologias apresentadas pelos pacientes que apresentaram a mucosite foram: Leucemia Linfoblástica Aguda (LLA), Osteossarcoma e Tumor de Wilms. As lesões se apresentaram nos seguintes sítios anatômicos: vermelhão do lábio, mucosa labial, e língua. O tempo médio para regressão das lesões foi de 6,8 ± 3,9 dias. O protocolo de tratamento consistiu na utilização da solução para mucosite oral utilizada no Hospital Napoleão Laureano, João Pessoa/PB. Concomitante ao uso da solução oral, iniciou-se a terapia fotodinâmica com laser de baixa potência (ECCO Fibras e Dispositivos; n/s–040401; modelo–BM0004A), calibrado para um comprimento de onda de 670 nm, potência de 40mW e densidade de energia de 4 J/cm2. Todos os pacientes tiveram remissão das lesões de mucosite oral em até 14 dias após o início da intervenção terapêutica. Concluiu-se que o protocolo utilizado, com o uso da laserterapia de baixa potência aliado à solução de mucosite oral mostrou-se eficaz no tratamento da mucosite oral em pacientes pediátricos em tratamento antineoplásico.
