Periodontitis and quality of life in adults with cystic fibrosis - A pilot cross-sectional study
Periodontitis in adults with CF was not associated with HRQoL, but markers of low SES and poor mental health were associated with lower HRQoL, including OHRQoL. These findings are preliminary and should be interpreted within the context of this study population comprised of higher-income adults with CF. Future studies should further examine potential disparities in HRQoL for a more socioeconomically diverse individuals with CF.
