Reporting Systemic conditions in adult patients. : School of Dentistry, Universidad de Antioquia, 2011
Introduction: The goal of this research project was to determine the prevalence and concordance of reports of a group of systemic conditions by means of Dental/Medical Records (mrs) and telephonic surveys (TS) in patients consulting at two adults’ clinics at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Antioquia.
Methods: Cross-sectional study (n = 104). We evaluated clinical records and registered the 10 most frequent systemic diseases according to the epidemiological data in Medellin (Colombia). We used TS to corroborate previous information on the mrs. We measured the prevalence of the diseases and determined a concordance level between the results of mr and ts through a kappa index with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI); according to different variables.
Results: The most prevalent systemic disease was ocular disease (58% ts and 30% mr, statistically significant p < 0.001) and the less prevalent one was hyperthyroidism (3% mr and 5% ts, no statistically significant). Kappa analyses showed the weakest concordance in the case of hyperthyroidism (0.22; 95%CI -0.38-0.82) and in case of ocular disease (0.37; 95%ci 0.20- 0.72). Variability in the prevalence and kappa indexes was observed related to gender, type of clinic and age interval.
Conclusions: Variations in the reported prevalence between the mr and ts were found. This situation may be explained as originating in difficulties completing medical antecedents, which cause an underreporting in the MR.
