| Abstract (English): |
Objectives: To determine the factors associated with dental caries in preschool children with bronchial asthma. Materials and Methods: The methodological design of this study was observational, retrospective and crosssectional. The sample consisted of clinical records of preschool children aged 24 to 71 months, treated at the "Todos los Santos San Borja" Health Center in the district of San Borja, with a diagnosis of bronchial asthma, between 2015 and 2016. The ceo-d index was used to assess the presence of dental caries. Results: A relationship was found between the dental caries index and the number of asthma episodes per year (p=0.044), as well as with the sociodemographic factor age (p=0.020). No significant relationship was found between the dental caries index and brushing frequency (p=0.361), factors related to asthma condition p=0.349, time since diagnosis (p=0.25), duration of medication use (p=0.46), or asthma severity (p=0.567). No relation was observed with sex, parental education level, or household income. Conclusions: The study determined that factors associated with dental caries in children with bronchial asthma include the number of asthma episodes per year and the child´s age.

Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de tipo: observacional, retrospectivo y transversal; siendo la muestra las historias cínicas de pacientes preescolares en el rango de edad de 24 a 71 meses, atendidos en el Centro de Salud “Todos los Santos San Borja”, distrito de San Borja, con diagnóstico de asma bronquial, que fueron atendidos entre los años 2015 y 2016. Para la evaluación de la presencia de caries dental se utilizó el Índice ceo-d. Resultados: Se encontró relación entre la variable índice de caries dental y el número de episodios de asma al año (p=0,044), igualmente se encontró relación con el factor sociodemográfico edad (p=0,020). No se encontró relación entre el índice de caries dental y frecuencia de cepillado (p=0.361), factores asociados a la condición del asma (p= 0,349), tiempo de diagnóstico (p=0,25), tiempo de medicación (p=0,46) y gravedad del asma (p=0,567). No se evidenció relación con los indicadores sexo, grado de instrucción y nivel de ingreso de los padres o apoderado. Conclusiones: Se determinó que los factores asociados a la caries dental en niños con asma bronquial, están relacionados con el número de episodios de asma al año y la edad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
