Kedves Pácienseink!
Egy nagyszabású tanulmány szerint, azok a COVID-19 fertőzöttek akik ínybetegséggel rendelkeznek, lényegesen nagyobb eséllyel kerülnek kórházba és részesülnek intenzív ellátásban, mint a fogágybetegséggel nem rendelkező sorstársak.

COVID-19 patients are at least three times more likely to experience complications if they also have gum disease, according to research published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology, the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP).
The study of more than 500 patients with COVID-19 found that those with gum disease were 3.5 times more likely to be admitted to intensive care, 4.5 times more likely to need a ventilator, and almost nine times more likely to die compared to those without gum disease.
Blood markers indicating inflammation in the body were significantly higher in COVID-19 patients who had gum disease compared to those who did not, suggesting that inflammation may explain the raised complication rates.
Today, at 18:00 CET, Lior Shapira and Filippo Graziani will be live on our Instagram account () to comment on the study. Stay tuned!
