“…It is possible to compare 45.3% of edentulous institutionalized people, stated by a research from our region, with our result of 41.1% of edentulous participants, although that research was performed on a two times smaller sample (139) than ours. 12 The same research noted the average DMFT of 27.0. Our result is almost identical: 26.36.…”

“…[11][12][13][14] A survey published in a local journal states that a small number of published articles about elderly directly decreases the interest of doctors for this group of patients, thus making us further from setting standards in diagnostics and treatment of elderly people. Primenjeni metod ima ograničenja u odnosu na druge metode opisane u literaturi, kada je u pitanju postojanje kontrolne, zdrave grupe pacijenata.…”

“…Moguće je uporediti podatak o 45,3% bezubih institucionalizovanih osoba, koje navodi jedno istraživanje iz regiona, sa našim rezulatatom od 41,1% bezubih, iako je pomenutom istraživanju broj pregledanih osoba dvostruko manji (139) nego naš. 12 U istom istraživanju dobijen je prosečan DMFT 27,0, dok je naš rezultat gotovo identičan: 26,36.…”

“…11 Ovakva razlika se može objasniti različitim nivoom stomatološke zdravstvene zaštite između pojedinih zemalja, pa čak i u različitim regionima iste zemlje. 11,12 Iako se naši rezultati poklapaju sa istraživanjem koje prikazuje nešto bolje oralno zdravlje institucionalizovanih nego drugi pomenuti rad, rezultat koji smo mi dobili ukazuje na potrebu za poboljšanjem stomatološke zdravstvene zaštite u staračkim domovima, kao i van njih.…”

BackgroundBlood culture is critical in treating infectious diseases, but contamination occurs in 0.6-12.5% of all samples. This leads to unnecessary intervention, inappropriate antibiotic use, and excess cost. Few studies have tackled patient factors, such as nursing care level, that could possibly affect contamination rates. Thus, this study aimed to explore the association between patients' nursing care levels and blood culture contamination. MethodsThis is a single centered, retrospective, case-control study of adult patients whose blood culture specimens were taken in the emergency department between April 2018 and July 2019. The study was conducted in a 344-bed, urban, acute care community hospital in Chiba prefecture, Japan. We included patients aged 20 years and above, with two or more sets of blood cultures. The case group included patients with false positive blood culture results with contamination; the control group included patients with true positive or true negative blood culture results without contamination. We randomly selected two control patients per case. Patients' age, sex, nursing care level, ambulance usage, housing status, Glasgow Coma Scale, and hospital arrival time were obtained from the patients' medical charts. ResultsOf the 5,130 patients, 686 patients got positive blood culture results. Of the 686 patients, 35 patients were included in the case group, and 70 were randomly selected from the non-contaminated group and included in the control. In multivariate analysis, patients with contaminated blood cultures had a higher nursing care level (odds ratio: 5.24; 95% con dence interval: 1.47 to 18.70; P = 0.02). ConclusionsA higher nursing care level is associated with a higher incidence of blood culture contamination in the emergency department. Careful and appropriate procedures are required for patients with a higher nursing care level.

The aim of this study was to investigate the oral hygiene practices and denture status of elderly people living in a residential home. One hundred one elderly people living in Gurcesme Zubeyde Hanim Residential Home, Izmir-52 women (mean age 75.5 +/- 7.8) and 49 men (mean age 75.3 +/- 8.8)-participated in an interview. Their oral hygiene practices, self-perceived oral health, denture status, and needs of denture were noted down. Self-perceived oral health was very bad in 9.9%, bad in 47.5%, good in 33.7%, and very good in 8.9%. From 69 people who reported maintaining oral hygiene, the incidence of oral hygiene practice was 36.2% once a day, 31.9% three times a day, 21.8% once a week, and 10.1% seldom. The majority, 60 people (59.4%), were dentate. Among the dentate, 47 people (78.3%) had full denture, 4 (6.6%) removable partial denture, 2 (3.3%) fixed/removable partial denture, 5 (8.3%) full/removable partial denture, and 2 (3.3%) one or more fixed partial dentures. By gender, 57.6% female and 61.2% male subjects were dentate. The relationship between having a social security and having a denture was significant (p = 0.02); having a denture and needing a denture was also significantly related (p = 0.00). The high prevalence of needs for denture pointed to the requirement for frequent dental check ups. The most important need within the residents of the residential home was daily oral hygiene. Nurses trained on this subject are required.
