Abstract

Objectives To develop and present the methods utilized for the Dental, Oral, Medical Epidemiological (DOME) study.

Methods The DOME is an electronic record-based cross-sectional study, that was conducted to measure the dental, periodontal, and oral morbidities and their associations with systemic morbidities, among a nationally representative sample of young to middle-aged adults military personnel from the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). To that end, we developed a strict protocol including standardized terminology, data collection, and handling.

Results Data for the DOME study was derived simultaneously from three electronic records of the IDF: (1) a central demographic database, (2) the dental patient record (DPR), and (3) the medical computerized patient record (CPR). The established DOME repository includes socio-demographic, dental and medical records of 132,354 young to middle-age military personnel from the IDF, who attended the dental clinics during the year 2015. Records of general military personnel (N > 50,000), with no recorded dental visits during the study period, served as a control group regarding all other parameters except dental. The DOME study continues and is currently collecting longitudinal data from the year 2010 until 2020. The IDF employs a standardized uniform administrative and clinical work-up and treatment protocols as well as uniform computerized codes. We describe the standardized definitions for all the parameters that were included: socio-demographics, health-related habits, medical and dental attendance patterns, and general and dental health status. Multicollinearity analysis results of the sociodemographic and medical study parameters are presented.

Conclusion Standardized work-up and definitions are essential to establish the centralized DOME data repository to study the extent of dental and systemic morbidities and their associations.

牙科、口腔、医学流行病学 (DOME) 研究：方案和研究方法

摘要

目的 开发和介绍用于牙科、口腔、医学流行病学 (DOME)研究的方法。

方法 的DOME是基于电子记录的横断面研究，这是进行测量牙齿，牙周和口腔发病率及其与全身并发症协会，青年具有全国代表性的样本中，以中年人从军事人员IDF（以色列国防军）。为此，我们制定了严格的协议，包括标准化术语、数据收集和处理。

结果 DOME 研究的数据同时来自 IDF 的三个电子记录：(1) 中央人口统计数据库，(2) 牙科患者记录 (DPR)，以及 (3) 医疗计算机化患者记录 (CPR)。已建立的 DOME 存储库包括 132,354 名来自以色列国防军的中青年军人的社会人口、牙科和医疗记录，他们在 2015 年参加了牙科诊所。 一般军事人员的记录（N > 50,000)，在研究期间没有记录牙科就诊，作为关于除牙科以外的所有其他参数的对照组。DOME 研究仍在继续，目前正在收集从 2010 年到 2020 年的纵向数据。IDF 采用标准化的统一管理和临床检查和治疗方案以及统一的计算机代码。我们描述了包含的所有参数的标准化定义：社会人口统计学、与健康相关的习惯、医疗和牙科就诊模式以及一般和牙齿健康状况。提供了社会人口学和医学研究参数的多重共线性分析结果。

结论 标准化的检查和定义对于建立集中的 DOME 数据存储库以研究牙科和全身疾病的范围及其关联至关重要。
