Methods. BS patients (n=834) from 12 centres participated in this cross-sectional study. Oral ulcer activity (active vs. inactive) and the CI (0: inactive vs. 1-10 points: active) were evaluated during the previous month. the effects of treatment protocols [non-immunosuppressive: non-IS vs. immunosuppressive: (ISs)], severity (mild vs. severe), disease duration (= 5 years) and smoking pattern (non-smoker vs. current smoker) were analysed for oral ulcer activity. Results. Oral ulcer activity was observed in 65.1% of the group (n=543). in both genders, the activity was higher in mild disease course with non-IS treatment group compared to severe course with ISs (p |
