INTRODUCTION: Appraising the quality of studies included in systematic reviews combining qualitative and quantitative evidence is challenging. To address this challenge, a critical appraisal tool was developed: Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). The aim paper to present enhance ments made MMAT. DEVELOPMENT: MMAT initially developed 2006 based on literature review evidence. It subject pilot interrater reliability testing. A revised version 2018 results from usefulness testing, tools...
COVID-19 is associated with an exacerbated inflammatory response that can result in fatal outcomes. Systemic inflammation also a main characteristic of periodontitis. Therefore, we investigated the association periodontitis complications.A case-control study was performed using national electronic health records State Qatar between February and July 2020. Cases were defined as patients who suffered complications (death, ICU admissions or assisted ventilation), controls discharged without...
Some studies suggest that periodontal diseases increase the risk of oral cancer, but contradictory results also exist. Inadequate control confounders, including life course exposures, may have influenced prior findings. We estimate extent to which high levels diseases, measured by gingival inflammation and recession, are associated with cancer using a comprehensive subset potential confounders applying stringent adjustment approach. In hospital‐based case‐control study, incident cases ( N =...
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the most widely used drugs for treatment of depression, have been reported to reduce bone formation and increase risk fracture. Since osseointegration is influenced by metabolism, this study aimed investigate association between SSRIs failures in osseointegrated implants. This retrospective cohort was conducted on patients treated with dental implants from January 2007 2013. A total 916 490 (94 51 using SSRIs) were estimate failure associated...
Abstract – A cross‐sectional survey was carried out. This involved 652 out of a total 764 (85%) 13‐year‐old adolescents enrolled in private and public schools located urban areas Cianorte, Brazil. They were interviewed examined for traumatic dental injuries by one trained examiner (B.N.) using validated criteria. Socio‐demographic data included sex, family structure (nuclear families, single parents step‐parents) socio‐economic indicators. Anthropometric measures height weight. The body mass...
The objective of this study was to further elucidate the relationship between relevant biological, behavioural, socio-economic and psychological conditions, experienced in very early life along course, dental caries experience using course approach. A two-phase carried out Brazil. In first phase, 652 13-year-olds were clinically examined interviewed. second 330 families randomly selected for interview collect information on teenagers’ years life. Clinical assessment included caries,...
Etiological models that predominantly emphasize current adult life styles, such as smoking, diet and lack of exercise have recently been seriously challenged by a growing body evidence disturbed early growth development, childhood infection, poor nutrition, social psychosocial disadvantage across the life-course affect chronic disease risk, including oral disease. This relatively new area research is called epidemiology. The framework for investigating aetiology natural history proposes...

In mixed methods studies, novice researchers need to know that qualitative and quantitative data or results sometimes diverge. However, few studies focus on this aspect of research. The present paper aims review the literature divergence evidence, describe examples. prior reveals four strategies for taking into account: reconciliation, initiation, bracketing exclusion. Nine examples derived from empirical were found, they are described. Then, a detailed example is given how was identified...
Tobacco and alcohol consumption are the main risk factors for head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In addition, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection plays a causal role in oropharyngeal cancer (OPC), subset of HNSCC. We assessed independent effects tobacco, HPV on OPC (HeNCe) Life study, hospital-based case-control study HNSCC with frequency-matched controls by age sex from four Montreal hospitals. Interviewers collected information socio-demographic behavioural factors. tested...
Antihypertensive drugs in general are beneficial for bone formation and remodeling, associated with lower risk of fractures. As osseointegration is influenced by metabolism, this study aimed to investigate the association between antihypertensive survival rate osseointegrated implants.This retrospective cohort included a total 1,499 dental implants 728 patients (327 142 antihypertensive-drugs-users 1,172 586 nonusers). Multilevel mixed effects parametric analyses were used test use implant...
Abstract Few models have been proposed to explain the aetiology of traumatic dental injuries. Those that have, focus on risk factors at present stage life. The contribution for injuries different stages life needs be investigated. Objectives: To test relationship between course experiences and occurrence in adolescents. Methods: A cross‐sectional survey was used collect data retrospectively. Out a total number 764 eligible 13‐year‐old‐adolescents enrolled private public schools located urban...
Abstract Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have a negative impact on bone accrual. Because osseointegration is influenced by metabolism, this study investigates the association between PPIs and risk of osseointegrated implant failure. This retrospective cohort included total 1,773 dental implants in 799 patients (133 58 users 1,640 741 non‐users) who were treated at East Coast Oral Surgery Clinic Moncton, Canada, from January 2007 to September 2015. Kaplan‐Meier estimator was used describe...
Oral cancer is a major public health issue in India with ∼ 77,000 new cases and 52,000 deaths yearly. Paan chewing, tobacco alcohol use are strong risk factors for this India. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) also related to subset of head neck cancers (HNCs). We examined the association between oral HPV sample Indian subjects participating hospital-based case-control study. recruited incident (N = 350) controls frequency-matched by age sex 371) from two main referral hospitals Kerala, South...
Abstract Background : With survival rates for people with head and neck (H&N) cancers static during the past 30 years enormous burden of psychosocial impacts they suffer well documented, testing interventions in this group is a priority. Objective To test feasibility providing psycho‐educational intervention H&N cancer. Methodology A prospective non‐randomised design was used. Subjects were patients They offered Nucare coping strategies program one three formats: small one‐to‐one...
Abstract Background: Several models have been proposed to explain the causes of periodontal diseases. None adopted life‐course approach. Objective: To investigate relationship between social, psychosocial and biological conditions experienced in early life through course gingival bleeding on probing. Methods: A two‐phase study was carried out Brazil. In Phase I, 652 13‐year‐olds were clinically examined interviewed. II, 311 families randomly selected for an interview collect information...
Different hypotheses have been proposed in life course epidemiology on how a time-varying exposure can affect health or disease later life. Researchers are often interested investigating the probability of these based observed data. However, current techniques model/variable selection do not provide direct estimate this probability. We propose an alternative technique for continuous exposure, using Bayesian approach that has specific advantages, to investigate which supported by demonstrate...
