Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Gargling mouthwash is a safe and convenient oral care intervention; it rinses the mouth and increases salivary flow rate. The effectiveness of lemon mouthwash in relieving xerostomia and increasing the salivary flow rate among hemodialysis patients has not been studied. Our study sought to analyze the effectiveness of varying concentrations of lemon in mouthwash solutions on xerostomia and salivary flow rate.
METHODS: A multi-concentration test was used to assess lemon mouthwash at 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, and 2.5% concentrations to determine the optimal concentration for relieving dry mouth and increasing salivary flow rate. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze the differences between various concentrations of lemon mouthwash and baseline values.
RESULTS: In total, 44 patients were recruited. The 10% lemon concentration mouthwash was the most effective for increasing salivary flow rate, but the 5% and 2.5% were better accepted by the participants. Our findings can help establish intervention guidelines to relieve xerostomia among hemodialysis patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings can help establish intervention guidelines to relieve xerostomia among hemodialysis patients.

摘要：
目的：漱口水是一种安全方便的口腔护理干预措施；它可以冲洗口腔并增加唾液流速。柠檬漱口水缓解口干症和增加血液透析患者唾液流速的有效性尚未研究。我们的研究旨在分析漱口水溶液中不同浓度的柠檬对口干症和唾液流速的有效性。
方法：使用多浓度测试来评估20％的柠檬漱口水，15%,10%,5%,和2.5％的浓度，以确定缓解口干和增加唾液流速的最佳浓度。使用广义估计方程来分析各种浓度的柠檬漱口水和bassline值之间的差异。
结果：总计，招募了44名患者。10％柠檬浓度漱口水是最有效的增加唾液流速，但5％和2.5％被参与者更好地接受。我们的发现可以帮助建立干预指南，以缓解血液透析患者的口干症。
结论：我们的发现有助于建立干预指南，以缓解血液透析患者的口干。
