Association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and periodontal disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Studies have suggested contradictory results on the relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and periodontal disease (PD). The aim of this study was to determine whether PD increased the risk of COPD and COPD-related clinical events.

Design

A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data sources

PubMed, Ovid EMBASE and Ovid CENTRAL were searched from inception to 22 February 2023.

Eligibility criteria for studies

We included trials and observational studies evaluating association of PD with the risk of COPD or COPD-related events (exacerbation and mortality), with statistical adjustment for smoking.

Data extraction and synthesis

Two investigators independently extracted data from selected studies using a standardised Excel
