| Popis: | Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the maternal-child S. mutans infection, mutual interaction and potential risk factors altering this interaction. Material and methods: A total of 160 mothers who were paired with their children were recruited. Saliva from mothers and children was collected and S. mutans categorized levels were analyzed. A questionnaire was used to collect maternal and child conventional caries risk factors. A proportional odds regression model was used to investigate whether the level of infection of mothers would similarly affect the level of infection of their children, thus adjusting for other risk factors. Results: The average age of mothers was 28.1 years and children had a median age of 5.1 months. Paired mother-child S. mutans crossclassification into non-infected and infected subjects showed no agreement in mutual contamination. Maternal in-fection of the child was highest when the mother was infected with 10 >3 S. mutans/ml of saliva. The results obtained by the regression model showed that none of the potential risk factors influenced the level of infection in the child. Conclusion: Mothers with a high S. mutans level increase the risk of S. mutans acquisition for her five- month- old child but no evidence was found that other maternal/ child factors may influence this. Svrha: Cilj je bio istražiti infekciju kod majke i djeteta bakterijom S. mutans, međusobnu interakciju i moguće čimbenike rizika koji mijenjaju tu interakciju.Materijali i metode: U istraživanju je ukupno sudjelovalo 160 majki sa svojom djecom. Prikupljena je njihova slina te su analizirane kategorizirane razine S. mutans. Upotrijebljen je upitnik za prikupljanje čimbenika rizika za nastanak karijesa kod majke i djeteta. Model proporcionalne regresije vjerojatnosti korišten je za istraživanje hoće li razina infekcije kod majki na sličan način utjecati na razinu zaraze njihove djece, čime se prilagođavaju dru-gi čimbenici rizika. Rezultati: Prosječna dob majki bila je 28,1 godina, a djece 5,1 mjesec. Uparena klasifikacija majke i djeteta u nezaražene i zaražene ispitanike bakterijom S. mutans nije pokazala slaganje u međusobnoj kontaminaciji. Majčinska infekcija djeteta bila je najveća kada je majka bila zaražena s 10 >3 S. mutans/mL sline. Rezultati dobiveni regresijskim modelom pokazali su da ni jedan od potencijalnih čimbenika rizika nije utjecao na razinu infekcije kod djeteta. Zaključak: Majke s visokom razinom S. mutans povećavaju rizik od prijenosa te bakterije na svoju petomjesečnu djecu, ali nisu pronađeni dokazi da na to mogu utjecati drugi čimbenici povezani s majkom/djetetom. |
