Abstract

Aim: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious heart disease with high mortality and morbidity. Antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for patients at risk of infective endocarditis before dental procedures. This Turkish online descriptive survey aimed to evaluate the knowledge and awareness levels of dentists and dental studentsregarding antibiotic prophylaxis for patients at risk of infective endocarditis.Method: Data on participants’ demographics and responses regarding dental treatments and heart diseasesrequiring prophylaxis as well as antibiotic dosage, duration, and administration time were collected betweenFebruary 1 and June 30, 2016 in Turkey. For each correct answer one point was given. A score of >4 was consideredsuccessful.Results: In total, 584 dentists and 199 dental students participated in the questionnaire survey. The rate of ad-ministration of antibiotic prophylaxis against infective endocarditis was found as 92.59%. Overall success ratesof dental procedures requiring prophylaxis and knowledge regarding heart diseases were 90.3% and 72.6%,respectively. Knowledge levels regarding the use of antibiotic prophylaxis for heart diseases and antibiotic do-sage and duration were greater in women, those with ≤5 years of professional experience, dentists, and thoseworking at dental faculties (p5 years of experience (p

Özet

Amaç: İnfektif endokardit (İE), yüksek mortalite ve morbiditeye sahip ciddi bir kalp hastalığıdır. İE riski taşıyan hastalara dental girişim öncesinde antibiyotik profilaksisi önerilmektedir. Online uygulanan tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu anket çalışmasının amacı, İE gelişme riski bulunan hastalara diş hekimlerin ve diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin anti- biyotik profilaksisi uygulama konusundaki bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Profilaksi gerektiren dental girişimler ve kalp hastalıkları, profilakside uygulanan antibiyotiklerin dozu, süresi ve uygulama zamanı ile ilgili sorulara verilen yanıtlar ile birlikte katılımcıların demografik bilgilerini içe- ren anket verileri 1 Şubat-30 Haziran 2016 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Her doğru cevaba bir puan verilmiş ve dört puan üstü başarılı olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Toplamda 584 diş hekimi ve 199 diş hekimliği öğrencisi ankete katılmıştır. İE profilaksisi uygulama oranı %92,6 saptanmıştır. Profilaksi gerektiren dental prosedürler ve kalp hastalıkları ile ilişkili sorularda genel başarı oranı sırasıyla %90,3 ve %72,6 olarak bulunmuştur. Kadınların, beş ve beş yıldan daha az deneyimi olan diş hekimlerin ve diş hekimliği fakültelerinde çalışanların profilaksi gerektiren kalp hastalıkları, antibiyotik dozu ve uygulama süresi ile ilgili bilgi düzeyleri daha yüksek saptanmıştır (p
