Can bayesian models play a role in dental caries epidemiology? Evidence from an application to the BELCAP data set

2012

Objectives The aim of this study was to show the potential of Bayesian analysis in statistical modelling of dental caries data. Because of the bounded nature of the dmft (DMFT) index, zero-inflated binomial (ZIB) and beta-binomial (ZIBB) models were considered. The effects of incorporating prior information available about the parameters of models were also shown. Methods The data set used in this study was the Belo Horizonte Caries Prevention (BELCAP) study (Bohning et al. (1999)), consisting of five variables collected among 797 Brazilian school children designed to evaluate four programmes for reducing caries. Only the eight primary molar teeth were considered in the data set. A data aug…

DMFT indekss un kariesa izplatība Latvijas Universitātes studentu zobārstniecības klīnikas pacientiem

2022

Mutes veselībai ir ļoti nozīmīgs iedzīvotāju labklājības faktors. Slikta mutes dobuma veselība var būt par iemeslu sāpēm, zobu zaudējumam, funkciju zudumumam un pazeminātai pašcieņai. Zobu kariess ir viena no divām visbiežāk sastopamajām mutes dobuma saslimšanām un zobu zaudējuma iemesliem. Epidemioloģiskie pētījumi, izmantojot dažādus starptautiski pieņemtus indeksus, lēš, ka globāli neārstēts kariess pastāvīgo zobos ir 2,3 miljardiem cilvēku un neārstēts kariess piena zobos - 532 miljoniem bērnu. Taču pētījumu pieaugušajiem ir daudz mazāk nekā bērniem, kas arī pamato darba mērķi - analizēt DMFT indeksu un kariesa izplatību pieaugušiem pacientiem, kuri apmeklē Latvijas Universitātes Studen…
