ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Hospitalization may cause a decline in oral health and affect the entire body. The intensive care unit (ICU) may be a favorable environment for oral biofilm to accumulate in critically ill patients.

Objective:

To identify factors associated with oral biofilm in ICU patients in a hospital for infectious diseases.

Method:

This was a retrospective, descriptive and inferential study with a quantitative approach. Data were collected from 178 medical records of patients from January 2012 to July 2015. Biofilm presence was assessed according to the Greene and Vermillion index. Potential influential factors were analyzed by logistic regression.

Result:

Among ICU patients, 69.1% were men, 60.7% had acquired immune deficiency (AIDS), 66.3% were ward patients, 50.6% were intubated, and 50.0% were sedated. The oral elements of the patients were mostly normal. The following characteristics were significantly associated with oral biofilm changes in the lips, gums, cheeks, and palates and bleeding. Patients from the ward had a lower risk of biofilm.

Conclusion:

Increased oral biofilm accumulation was observed in patients with oral changes, and patient origin was associated with the presence of biofilm.
RESUMO

Introdução:

A hospitalização pode provocar deterioração da saúde bucal, repercutindo em todo o corpo. A UTI pode ser um ambiente favorável ao acúmulo de biofilme oral em pacientes críticos.

Objetivo:

Identificar fatores associados à presença do biofilme em pacientes da UTI de um hospital de doenças infectocontagiosas.

Método:

Estudo retrospectivo, descritivo e inferencial, com abordagem quantitativa. Os dados foram obtidos em prontuários de pacientes da UTI, de janeiro de 2012 a julho de 2015. O biofilme foi avaliado de acordo com o índice de Greene e Vermillion. Os fatores influentes foram analisados por regressão logística.

Resultado:

Entre os pacientes da UTI, 69,1% eram homens, 60,7% pacientes com AIDS, 66,3% pacientes na enfermaria, 50,6% intubados e 50,0% sedados. Seus elementos orais eram na maioria normais. As seguintes características foram significativamente associadas a biofilmes orais alterações orais nos lábios, gengivas, bochechas e palatos e sangramento. Pacientes da enfermaria apresentaram menor risco de apresentar biofilmes.

Conclusão:

o aumento do acúmulo de biofilme oral foi observado em pacientes com alterações na boca e a procedência do paciente foi associada à presença de biofilme.
