Eighty-four people were divided into the case (based on RDC/TMD) and control groups. Demographic information, neck circumference, tongue size, Mallampati score, and other variables were asked of people. STOP-BANG and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were also completed for each patient. Data were analyzed with Chi-square, Fisher\'s exact, and Mann-Whitney tests.
The Mallampati and PSQI questionnaire scores in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.001). The results showed that larger tongue and neck circumference patients had a higher Mallampati score. Pearson correlation coefficient showed that the Mallampati score had a direct and significant relationship with body mass index and PSQI (p < 0.001).
The results of this study show that Mallampati scores were significantly higher among patients with TMD than among healthy individuals.
方法:84人分为病例组(基于RDC/TMD)和对照组。人口统计信息,颈围,舌头大小,Mallampati得分,和其他变量被问到的人。还为每位患者完成了STOP-BANG和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)。数据用卡方分析,费希尔的精确,和Mann-Whitney测试.
结果:病例组Mallampati和PSQI问卷得分明显高于对照组(p<0.001)。结果表明,较大的舌围和颈围患者的Mallampati评分较高。Pearson相关系数显示,Mallampati评分与体重指数和PSQI有直接且显着的关系(p<0.001)。
结论:这项研究的结果表明,TMD患者的Mallampati评分明显高于健康个体。
