Dental care behavior and related factors during the COVID-19 state of emergency in Japan
Objectives In response to the spread of SARS-CoV-2, a state of emergency was declared in Japan on April 7, 2020, and in the same month, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare informed dentists of the need to postpone non-emergency dental care. The purpose of this study was to identify the patients who refrained from dental care during the state of emergency in April 2020, and to clarify their personal characteristics.Methods A total of 1,335 patients who visited 28 dental clinics in Saitama in September 2020 completed survey questionnaires; of these, 1,227 valid responses were received. Among those who sought dental care under the state of emergency, those who did not visit a dental clinic comprised the "refrained group" and those who visited the dental clinics comprised the "visited group".Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratios for the "refrained group" were 1.69 (95%Cl: 1.12-2.55) for females, 2.91 (95%Cl: 1.88-4.49) for those younger than 65 years, 1.71 (95%Cl: 1.04-2.82) for those that visited the dental clinic less than once a month, and 7.12 (95%Cl: 4.56-11.11) for those who did not have an appointment during the state of emergency.Conclusion In conclusion, 35% of patients in this study refrained from visiting the dental clinic during the state of emergency. The related factors for refraining from dental care were being females, middle-aged (<65 years), visiting the dental clinic less than once a month, and not having an appointment during the COVID-19 state of emergency.
