Association between periodontitis and cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality in patients with congestive heart failure: NHANES 2009-2014.

ABSTRACT: Periodontitis is highly prevalent worldwide, but its association with cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) has not yet received sufficient attention. In this study, weighted logistic regression was employed to examine the relationship between periodontitis and CHF, and weighted Cox regression was used to analyze the relationship between periodontitis and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Subgroup analyses were conducted to investigate the impact of potential factors on the associations between periodontitis and CHF, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality. Sensitivity analyses were performed to enhance the robustness of the study results. In unadjusted and adjusted models for various covariates, significa
