Resumo

ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate quality of life related to oral health (QoLROH) of Brazilians undergoing hemodialysis and to identify associated factors. Material and methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted with 226 patients undergoing hemodialysis at two reference medical centers. Participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Brazilian version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP‐14). Descriptive and multivariate statistics using Decision Tree Analysis by the Chi‐square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) algorithm, as well as Ordinal Logistic Regression analyses were performed. Results The Decision Tree revealed that the impact on QoLROH could be explained by age (p = 0.002), tooth pain in the last 6 months (p = 0.026), and region of residence (p = 0.025). Conclusions The results suggest that being older, living in rural areas, and reporting tooth pain in the last 6 months may influence the QoLROH of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
