However, data in Southeast Asia remain scarce. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence, stage distribution of periodontitis, and to examine systemic and behavioral factors associated with the disease among Vietnamese KTRs; as a secondary exploratory aim, we evaluated selected systemic biomarkers (C-reactive protein [CRP], serum urea, and platelet count [PLT]) and descriptively summarized their cross-sectional discrimination with respect to the periodontitis status using prespecified receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses.

Periodontitis was defined and staged according to the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions (American Academy of Periodontology\/European Federation of Periodontology). Descriptive statistics, chi-square\/Fisher\u2019s exact test, and logistic regression were used to examine associations. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs and aORs) were calculated. An exploratory ROC analysis was performed to assess the discriminatory ability of selected clinical and biochemical variables.

In multivariable analysis, poor oral hygiene (OHI-S; aOR = 3.47), lower PLTs (aOR = 0.986), higher CRP levels (CRP; aOR = 1.32), and elevated serum urea (aOR = 2.09) were independently associated with periodontitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Periodontitis is highly prevalent in Vietnamese KTRs, predominantly in moderate stages, underscoring the need for preventive strategies.
