OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the prevalence of dental hospitalizations in an ABI cohort across different phases of injury and identify factors associated with such hospitalizations. METHODS: The cohort comprises patients with ABI (n\u200a=\u200a683), traumatic (n\u200a=\u200a282) and non-traumatic (n\u200a=\u200a401) who were admitted to a neurorehabilitation service in Western Australia between 1991 and 2016. De-identified patient data were linked to the Hospital Morbidity Data Collection. The incidence of dental hospitalizations was calculated per 1,000 person-years (PY), and associated factors were investigated using multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression. RESULTS: Dental hospitalizations significantly increased from pre-injury (3.35\/1,000PY) to acute injury (302.65, \u0394+299.3) and remained elevated in the post-acute phase (23.98, \u0394+20.63). Dental caries had the highest incidence rate among all diagnoses in the pre-injury and post-acute phases (0.68 and 8.93, respectively), followed by gingivitis and periodontal diseases (3.60) in the post-acute phase. Tooth extractions were performed more often than restorative and preventive treatment in the pre-and post-injury phase, p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.001. Dental hospitalizations were associated with the type of ABI, age at injury, remoteness, and history of pre-injury hospitalization. CONCLUSION: Implementing comprehensive preventive dental care can reduce potentially preventable dental hospitalization among ABI patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/nre-230145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]],"date-time":"2023-10-31T13:14:42Z","timestamp":1698758082000},"page":"309-321","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Patterns and predictors of dental hospitalizations in patients with acquired brain injury from pre-injury to acute and post-acute injury"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Somayyeh","family":"Azimi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Brightwater Research Centre, Brightwater Care Group, Inglewood, WA, Australia"},{"name":"International Research Collaborative \u2013 Oral Health and Equity, Department of Anatomy, Physiology and Human Biology, School of Human Sciences, University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lakkhina","family":"Troeung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brightwater Research Centre, Brightwater Care Group, Inglewood, WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelita","family":"Martini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brightwater Research Centre, Brightwater Care Group, Inglewood, WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/NRE-230145_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1655","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.107.181486","article-title":"Guidelines for the early management of adults with ischemic stroke: A guideline from the American Heart Association\/American Stroke Association Stroke Council, Clinical Cardiology Council, Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention Council, and the Atherosclerotic Peripheral Vascular Disease and Quality of Care Outcomes in Research Interdisciplinary Working Groups: The American Academy of Neurology affirms the value of this guideline as an educational tool for neurologists","volume":"38","author":"Adams","year":"2007","journal-title":"Stroke"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/NRE-230145_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-018-3733-2","article-title":"Dental conditions associated with preventable hospital admissions in Australia: A systematic literature review","volume":"18","author":"Acharya,","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMC Health Services Research"},{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/NRE-230145_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1655","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.107.181486","article-title":"Guidelines for the early management of adults with ischemic stroke: A guideline from the American Heart Association\/American Stroke Association Stroke Council, Clinical Cardiology Council, Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention Council, and the Atherosclerotic Peripheral Vascular Disease and Quality of Care Outcomes in Research Interdisciplinary Working Groups: The American Academy of Neurology affirms the value of this guideline as an educational tool for neurologists","volume":"38","author":"Adams","year":"2007","journal-title":"Stroke"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/NRE-230145_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"143","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0528.2008.00455.x","article-title":"Factors influencing caries experience among adults with physical and intellectual disabilities","volume":"37","author":"Adnan,","year":"2009","journal-title":"Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology"},{"issue":"7-8","key":"10.3233\/NRE-230145_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"891","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.13520","article-title":"Integrated oral health care for stroke patients\u2013a scoping review","volume":"26","author":"Ajwani,","year":"2017","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Nursing"},{"key":"10.3233\/NRE-230145_ref9","unstructured":"Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 5\u2004remoteness structure.
