Sažetak
Introduction. Previous studies reported that halitosis is a common extraintestinal symptom of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Local factors such as periodontal disease, decreased salivary flow, coated tongue, fungal infection, etc., have been suggested as predictors for halitosis. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and the potential predictors of the self-reported halitosis in Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Materials and methods. Seventy-six IBD patients participated in the study (CD=38/UC=38 ; F/M=47/29). All patients completed a written questionnaire regarding their oral symptoms and halitosis. A salivary flow rate test (spitting method, 5 minutes) was performed, and a tongue swab for Candida spp. detection was taken. Results. The mean age of patients was 49.22±15.89 years, and the mean duration of the disease was 13.29±12.28 years. Self-reported halitosis was noted in 32.9% of patients (F/M=18/7). Patients reported halitosis most commonly after waking up while a few connected halitosis with gastrointestinal symptoms. Chi-square tests were used to determine the difference between self- reported halitosis and potential predictors (gender, type of disease, type of therapy, age and disease duration, hyposalivation, periodontitis, candidiasis, coated tongue), and no statistically significant difference was found. Logistic regression analysis was performed for the predictors’ analysis and the results were not statistically significant. Conclusion. The prevalence of self-reported halitosis in IBD patients was not high as expected when compared with other reports. There was no statistically significant effect of tested predictors on self-reported halitosis of the IBD patients in this study.
