Oral health care among dialysis patients in France and impact on survival.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oral diseases have been shown to be risk factors of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progression and may also be associated with poorer survival. The aim of this study was to describe oral care of dialysis patients in France and to assess its impact on their survival.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study including all patients on dialysis in France between 2015 and 2020. Data were collected from the French REIN registry and matched with the National Health Data System. Factors associated with the probability of receiving oral care treatments were explored using a logistic regression model. The survival of incident dialysis patients was modeled using a Cox model.

Results
