Non‐Apnea Sleep Disorder Increases the Risk of Periodontal Disease: A Retrospective Population‐Based Cohort Study

Background: The aim of this study is to determine whether patients with a non‐apnea sleep disorder (NA‐SD) and comorbidity have an increased risk of periodontal disease. Methods: Patients newly diagnosed with NA‐SDs in 1997 to 2010 were identified as the study cohort from the Taiwan National Health...

Zusammenfassung:Background: The aim of this study is to determine whether patients with a non‐apnea sleep disorder (NA‐SD) and comorbidity have an increased risk of periodontal disease. Methods: Patients newly diagnosed with NA‐SDs in 1997 to 2010 were identified as the study cohort from the Taiwan National Health Insurance database. For each patient with NA‐SD, two matched controls without sleep disorders were randomly selected for comparison. Results: The overall incidence rate ratio of severe periodontal diseases was 39% higher in the NA‐SD cohort than in the comparison cohort (7.93 versus 5.69 per 1,000 person‐years), with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.36 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30 to 1.43). The effect of NA‐SD on the risk of severe periodontal diseases was higher in young and middle‐aged patients compared with patients >65 years of age (
