Constructional apraxia screening and oral health among hospitalized older adults: A cross‐sectional study

Aims Apraxia may hinder oral self‐care and is associated with poor oral hygiene. Intersecting Pentagons Test (IPT) is a simple screening tool for constructional apraxia (CA) that tests the ability to copy a bidimensional figure. In this study we investigated whether IPT is useful to identify subject...

description Aims Apraxia may hinder oral self‐care and is associated with poor oral hygiene. Intersecting Pentagons Test (IPT) is a simple screening tool for constructional apraxia (CA) that tests the ability to copy a bidimensional figure. In this study we investigated whether IPT is useful to identify subjects that need interventions to support oral health in a cohort of geriatric inpatients. Methods and results We assessed oral health through the decayed, missing or filled teeth index, plaque index, and periodontal screening and recording tool. We inquired about autonomy in oral hygiene activities through a standardized questionnaire. Among subjects with CA (273 out of 478 hospitalized subjects aged > 65 years) we found a higher prevalence of edentulism (P = 0.04), periodontal disease (PD) (P = 0.03), and dependence in oral hygiene activities (P
