Hospital Admissions for Preventable Non-Traumatic Dental Conditions

Location

Loosemore Auditorium

Description

PURPOSE: Non-traumatic dental conditions (NTDC) are classified as either preventable or non-preventable and can lead to hospitalization. The purpose of this study was to compare Michigan residents admitted to the hospital for NTDC in 2009-2010 with those in 2018-2019. SUBJECTS: Eligibility criteria included Michigan residents hospitalized for a NTDC utilizing ICD-10 -CM diagnostic codes. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted using Michigan Inpatient Data Base (MIDB) for 2009-2010 and 2018 -2019. ANALYSIS: Logistic regression models were employed to estimate crude and adjusted odds ratios (cOR/aOR) with corresponding 95% CI for the association between age, race, gender, type of hospital admission, and insurance type and preventable and non-preventable NTDC using SAS version 9.4. RESULTS: There were 3957 NTDC hospital admissions in 2009- 2010 and 3909 in 2018-2019 with 50% and 55% of those cases from preventable NTDC, respectively. In the 2009-2010 final adjusted model all age groups were significant predictors of preventable NTDC. In 2018-2019 only the upper three age groups were significant. Sex in both studies was a significant predictor in 2009-2010 (aOR =0.64, 95% CI [ 0.55, 0.76]) and in 2018 - 2019 (aOR=0.72, 95% CI [0.62, 0.85]). These age groups as well as females were less likely to have a preventable NTDC. CONCLUSIONS: There has been little change in NTDC hospitalizations between the study years with less than 1% of all inpatient admissions the result of a NTDC for both. Future research may focus on barriers to seeking care in dental practice settings for prevention of NTDC.
