Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Introduction:
Oral health significantly impacts daily life, affecting communication, nutrition, emotional expression, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. Poor oral health is associated with conditions ranging from caries and periodontal disease to systemic issues such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and increased mortality.
Background and Rationale:
Oral frailty, a concept originating in Japan in 2013, highlights the deterioration of oral function due to aging, potentially leading to malnutrition and systemic health impacts. The 2017 Global Burden of Disease Study emphasized oral health as an ongoing global challenge, identifying caries, severe periodontitis, and edentulism as prevalent issues. Preventable oral diseases contribute significantly to health disparities and systemic illnesses.
Aims:
Primary: To evaluate the impact of an educational intervention to implement evidence-based guidelines for oral health care in adult inpatients.
Secondary: To assess the concordance between different assessment tools and the improvement in knowledge of healthcare workers following training.
Methods:
Study Design: A before-and-after interventional study comparing pre- and post-educational intervention implementation cohorts.
Setting: Medical Department, Maggiore della Carità Hospital, Novara, Italy. Eligibility: Adults aged ≥18 years admitted for inpatient care who consent to participate.
Outcomes: Improvements in oral health outcomes as assessed by the OHAT tool and secondary metrics such as knowledge improvement in healthcare staff.
Intervention:
Training Sessions: Healthcare workers receive education on oral health guidelines, including practical and simulation-based activities.
Implementation: Adoption of evidence-based practices for oral health care.
Evaluation Phases:
Phase 1 (Baseline): Assessment of oral health in patients using OHAT and a structured evaluation protocol.
Phase 2 (Intervention): Educational sessions for healthcare workers. Phase 3 (Post-Implementation): Follow-up assessments using the same tools and methods as Phase 1.
Data Analysis:
Statistical methods include descriptive analysis, repeated measures models, and pre-post intervention comparisons. A significance level of 0.05 will be applied.
Sample Size:
A minimum of 48 participants (24 per cohort) is required, based on a hypothesised effect size of 0.5 with 80% power and a significance level of 0.05.
Ethical Considerations:
The protocol will be submitted for ethical approval. Data will be anonymised and handled per EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).
Dissemination of Results:
Findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at conferences, maintaining participant confidentiality.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Background Oral health care encompasses all practices of education, motivation, prevention, assessment, and care delivery aimed at preventing and/or eliminating soft and hard tissue pathologies within the oral cavity or slowing their progression.
The literature highlights that oral hygiene needs are often not addressed at the same level as other health needs, and certain populations are at a higher risk of poor oral health compared to others.
Providing effective oral hygiene is essential to ensuring both local and systemic well-being. Oral health education aims to enhance knowledge and skills while promoting good practices to reduce morbidity associated with the oral cavity. Conversely, a lack of education and training strategies, as well as failure to implement preventive measures, inevitably leads to a progressive increase in oral health issues.
In the context of person-centered care, the standards derived from the delivery of fundamental care represent the baseline below which care quality should not fall. These standards are supported by robust evidence and defined through Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs).
Based on these considerations, a before-and-after study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence-based guideline implementation program for oral health care and management, targeting nursing staff and healthcare assistants in the Internal Medicine Ward of the AOU Maggiore della Carità, Novara.
Global and Local Context The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 provided a global perspective on the prevalence, incidence, and disability-adjusted life expectancy associated with oral health conditions, stratified by age, gender, and country from 1990 to 2017. The results demonstrate that oral health conditions and their management remain a significant global challenge.
Worldwide, oral health pathologies affect 3.5 billion individuals, including:
2.4 billion with untreated caries in permanent teeth (35% of the global population).
796 million with severe periodontitis. 532 million with untreated caries in primary teeth. 267 million with total edentulism. 139 million with other pathological conditions.
Oral cancer is among the top three cancers in the Pacific region of Asia. Most oral health conditions are preventable, can be intercepted early, and treated effectively. Notably, there is a well-established correlation between proper oral care and systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disorders, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, dementia, respiratory diseases, and increased mortality.
Assessment Tools for Oral Health Various tools are available to assess oral health status or estimate risks. The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) recommends standardized approaches or validated tools for comprehensive assessment of oral and peri-oral structures, including evaluation of breath, hygiene, and pain.
The Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT), tested in various settings for adults, is practical, reliable, and quick for use by non-specialized healthcare staff. A validated Italian version is also available.
Study Objective This before-and-after study aims to assess the impact of implementing evidence-based guidelines for oral health care among adult patients admitted to a medical ward, focusing on changes in oral health-related outcomes.
Secondary Objectives:
Estimate concordance between adopted assessment tools. Evaluate changes in healthcare staff's knowledge of guidelines and best practices for oral health care.
Methodology Data collection will follow specific time points: upon admission, every five days, and at discharge. Assessments will include the OHAT scale and a protocol tailored for specialized oral health evaluations.
Primary Outcome: oral health improvement assessed using OHAT. Secondary Outcomes: Concordance between OHAT and standard protocol tailored for specialized oral health evaluations.
Knowledge improvement among staff pre- and post-training.
Intervention Phases
1. Baseline Evaluation (T0): Oral health assessment using OHAT and per standard protocol upon admission, intermediate days, and discharge.
2. Training Program: Implementation of RNAO guidelines in two stages:
Healthcare Staff Education Clinical workflow restructuring.
3. Post-Implementation Evaluation (T1): Reassessment using the same tools.
Sample Size and Statistical Analysis A minimum of 24 patients per group is required to detect an effect size of 0.5 with 80% power at a 0.05 significance level. Statistical analysis will compare changes in OHAT scores between groups using repeated measures models, chi-square tests, or non-parametric equivalents as appropriate.
Ethical Considerations The protocol will be submitted to the Institutional Ethics Committee for approval. Participants will provide informed consent, and data will be handled anonymously in compliance with GDPR regulations. Any protocol amendments will be reported promptly.
Conclusion This study seeks to provide evidence for the effectiveness of training programs and guideline implementation in improving oral health care practices, ultimately benefiting patient outcomes both locally and systemically.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pre-intervention group
The pre-intervention group was recruited between May and June 2023. At admission, every 5 days, and at discharge, an expert (dentists and/or dental hygienists) inspected the patient's oral cavity. The specialist personnel of the Department of Dentistry recorded data and observations on the proper documentation approved by the local ethics committee, combining the collection of socio-demographic data with the completion of the OHAT scale through its Italian validated version and the Internal Protocol of the Surgical Department of Dentistry (standard protocol). The expert panel assessed the selected patients during the following time frame: T0a (at admission); T0d (at discharge); T0i 1, 2, 3,… (intermediate) at five-day intervals until discharge, always at the same ideal time (about 9.00 am). Data collection required approximately 15 minutes per patient each time.

OHFCP2
The intervention consists of a two-phase approach for implementing guidelines and evidence-based recommendations: educating healthcare professionals and enhancing clinical activity. A training course was developed for nurses and social health professionals. Lecture sessions on the most recent literature were held, as well as practical learning training sessions in high fidelity simulation, which included the assessment, preservation, and care of the oral and dental health.The intervention was administered to small groups consisting of 5-6 participants. An in-patient room situation with three possible scenarios and corresponding simulation manikins was set up: a person with a healthy oral cavity, a person with prosthesis, and an edentulous old person. After implementing the educational intervention, a new data collection phase began in the same hospital department during December replicating the same patient recruitment and evaluation process.
