Meta-Analysis of Prevalence of Xerostomia in Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: Background: As with other complications of diabetes mellitus, the occurrence of dry mouth can lead to a poor quality of life. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the prevalence of xerostomia in patients with diabetes mellitus through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Method: Systematic review and meta-analysis.Results: After the screening process, 23 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, the incidence of dry mouth was investigated in 1979 people with diabetes (cases) and 1225 controls. … Show more

“…This is supported by the suggestion that in general, a salivary flow rate above the threshold of 0.1–0.3 mL/min is sufficient to prevent xerostomia in most individuals (254). Still, there is sufficient literature that reports an increased prevalence of xerostomia in patients with T1DM (240, 241, 243, 255257) and T2DM (206, 247, 248, 257, 258).…”

“…Based on a recent meta-analysis study, the global prevalence of xerostomia in DM patients is 42.4%. Salivary gland defects can reduce the patient's quality of life because it causes difficulty in swallowing, speaking, chewing, dysgeusia, caries and an increase in plaque accumulation [2]. Clinically, salivary gland defects are characterized by decreased salivary secretion volume and histologically characterized by acinar cell vacuolization, which is an early sign of cell degeneration [3,4].…”

“…Research shows that polypharmacy increases the risk of developing xerostomia. 26 Similarly, knowledge increases with age and is highest among participants aged 40-59 years. Hence participants’ knowledge of their increased risk of systemic complications of diabetes is linked to their experience of disease following treatment for diabetes comorbidities and complications or ageing.…”
