“…Furthermore, the inflammation serves as early signs of systemic disease and malnutrition. [15], [19], [62][63][64] The major limitation of this article is the wide variation in the number of samples used, which can affect the reported high and low prevalence (30 -2,409 samples). The differences can be seen from the highest and lowest incidence reported by Watuna et al and Shet et al,at 46.66% of 30 samples and 1% of 570 samples, respectively.…”

The elderly commonly experiences decreased function in various organs, which can impact the immune and digestive systems, as well as increase susceptibility to angular cheilitis (ICD-10 code: K13.0). Furthermore, the high prevalence of malnutrition and the increase in the elderly yearly can affect the incidence of this inflammation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of angular cheilitis in the elderly. The rapid review method was employed to accomplish this using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for screening and search procedures. The search was performed through the Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases using specific keywords and inclusion criteria. A total of 30 observational study articles from 16 countries focusing on several elderly populations were included in this study. The lowest and highest prevalence value was 1% and 46.66%, respectively, with 1,347 out of 14,927 elderly experiencing angular cheilitis. Of the 30 articles reviewed, 23 showed a value below 10%, while the remaining 7 were above 10%. The differences in prevalence could be attributed to the limitations of the articles utilized in this study, which vary widely in terms of sample population characteristics, location, gender allocation, as well as study and data collection methods. This review showed that the prevalence of angular cheilitis in most countries is low. However, the two studies conducted in Indonesia have a high and low prevalence, respectively.

“…These manifestations can be considered among the symptoms of diseases such as respiratory and hematologic malignancies, immunologic disorders, and fungal and viral infections. 1 Moreover, it has been indicated that some patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), especially those who require ventilator support, are prone to mucormycosis. 2 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), mucormycosis, and leukemia have some similar oral manifestations.…”
