The age range of the study population was from 15 years to 87 years, divided into seven age groups. Results were evaluated to see which medical problem is the most prevalent and to assess its relation to age and gender. Results: This study showed that out of 1192 dental patients, 711 were females and 481 were males. 380 (31.88%) were with medical problems. The five most prevalent conditions in descending order were endocrine diseases which constituted 35.26%, cardiovascular diseases which constituted 27.89%, gastrointestinal disorders (14.73%), hematological disorders (5.79 %) and respiratory conditions (5.79%). Conclusion: The results of the present study confirm that the prevalence of medical conditions is significant among patients requiring dental treatment. Therefore, a thorough medical history and careful clinical examination is mandatory before any dental procedure. It seems absolutely essential for dental practitioners to take a detailed medical history prior to any therapeutic procedure, as certain medical conditions, if unnoticed, will lead to unfavorable consequences and /or repercussions.

“…This study assessed the prevalence and various types of medical comorbidities amid patients in oral surgery clinics by examining the records of patients who were treated during a single academic period of 1 year at the College of Dentistry, Jazan University. The main findings of the study revealed that out of the total patients observed (n=640), the prevalence of patients with medical comorbidity was 27.5% (n=176), which is similar to that observed in recent studies by Lakhani et al (23.4%; n=1867) [ 41 ], Alonaizan et al (25.7%; n=1502) [ 42 ], Chandler et al (30.6%;n=716) [ 43 ], Shetty et al (33%; n=725) [ 38 ], Gaphor et al (35.24%; n=1200) [ 44 ], and Sanguansin et al (30.5%; n=712) [ 45 ].

Background An aged population is susceptible to chronic diseases, which impacts oral surgery treatment procedures. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the incidence of medical comorbidities in 640 oral surgery patients treated at the College of Dentistry, Jazan University. Material/Methods This single-center observational study investigated medical records of outpatients who visited Jazan University Dental College Hospital in a 1-year period (2018–2019). Patients’ clinical and radiographic archives were screened to obtain relevant data. Categorical and continuous variables were expressed in terms of frequency and mean values, respectively. Differences in variables were statistically analyzed using the chi-square goodness of fit and proportional test, with a probability value P ≤0.05 considered significant. Results Analysis of 640 patient records included records of 300 men and 340 women who underwent oral surgery, of whom 176 patients (27.5%), including 97 men and 79 women, had medical comorbidities. The most common comorbidities were endocrine disease (7.03%), cardiovascular disease (6.71%), respiratory disease (4.53%), and hematological disorders (3.43%). Individual diseases that showed higher prevalence were diabetes mellitus (4.68%), hypertension (3.43%), bronchial asthma (2.65%), and anemia (1.4%). Differences by sex were observed in many individual disorders. Conclusions Outpatients in oral surgery clinics presented a significant variance in the incidence of medical comorbidities, among which diabetes and hypertension were most common. A proper case history is the best preventive measure that helps a surgeon avert medical emergencies and post-surgical complications.
