Description
Van Gennip and co-authors study in 2024 whether mouth infection foci affect hospital stay after stem cell transplant. Screening the mouth before transplant is standard, and acute foci are treated first. Whether chronic foci should also be treated was unclear.
The study kept 500 patients screened at one Dutch center from 2013 to 2023. Near half had at least one untreated chronic focus before transplant, most often deep gum or root tip lesions. Mean hospital stay was 22 days. Twenty patients died and four had mouth flare ups in the first hundred days. Models tested links between focus counts and those outcomes.
