Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to investigate the 1-year period prevalence of oral aphthous ulcers (OAUs) and their association with oral health-related quality of life (OHQOL) in patients with Behçet’s disease (BD) and in the general population.
In this cross-sectional study, 675 patients with Behçet’s disease (BD group) and 1,097 males and females in the Japanese general population (control group) completed both questionnaires on their OAU status during the prior year and the General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI).
In the BD group, 84% of patients reported experiencing an OAU during the previous year, and the mean number of OAUs/year was 13.
In the control group, 31% of individuals experienced an OAU during the previous year, and the mean number of OAUs/year was one.
Multivariate analysis indicated that both BD patients (OR, 6.2; 95% CI, 4.8–8.0) and controls (OR, 2.6; 95% CI, 2.0–3.5) who had OAUs at least twice per year were more likely to have GOHAI scores below the norm than were controls who had fewer than two OAUs per year.
The association between HLA-B*51 and OAUs remains unknown.
The presence of OAUs has a negative effect on the OHQOL of patients with BD.
