Abstract
Objective
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of two kinds of gargles (Koushu & Koutai) on oral mucositis (OM) in patients with agranulocytosis.
Methods
One hundred eighty patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the Peking University Institute of Hematology were enrolled from March 2018 to January 2019. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups by random number table. The observation group gargled with Koushu gargle, whereas the control group gargled with Koutai gargle. Patients in both groups used 10 to 15 mL of gargles for 2 minutes when awake in the morning, 30 minutes after each meal, and before sleep. The two groups used the same way to gargle except the types of gargle used. The difference of incidence, grade, healing time, and pain grade of oral mucositis were analyzed.
Results
The incidence of oral mucositis in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < .01).There were no significant difference in grade of OM, healing time, or pain grade between the two groups (P > .05). The effect of the Koushu gargle on the prevention of OM among the patients with agranulocytosis is better than that of the Koutai gargle. The Koushu gargle is better suited than the Koutai gargle as a prevention and treatment option for the patients.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
