Occurrence and Influencing Factors of Oral Mucositis in Patients With Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study in China
Chinese patients with cancer have a high occurrence of oral mucositis. Lower salivary pH levels and higher dry mouth scores increase the risk. Oncology nurses can prioritize early preventive strategies, salivary pH testing and xerostomia assessment, and targeted hygiene guidance. A risk-stratified prevention model can be implemented to enable precision management of oral mucositis.
