“…The current survey also showed that participants with untreated dental caries were more likely to have moderate or severe periodontitis, indicating probable shared common risk factors and social determinants which could contribute to their co‐occurrence in the same individual 23,24 . As the prevalence of diabetes in Singapore was projected to increase from 9.5% in 2020 3 to 15% in 2050, 25 the high burden of periodontal disease should be of concern to policymakers given its association with diabetes and other chronic diseases 26–29 …”

“…Non‐communicable diseases (NCDs) make up nearly 80% of the total disease burden with cancers, cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, chronic kidney disease and diabetes among the top 10 leading causes of death and ill health. Results from the National Population Health Survey 2020 showed a continuous rise in prevalence of NCDs, especially hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and diabetes 3 . Despite the significant progress in improving population health, the healthcare system faced challenges from an increasing prevalence of NCDs, rapid population ageing, limitations in primary care and intermediate and long‐term care service delivery and unintended consequences of some financing approaches 4 .…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to present key findings from the 2019 national adult oral health survey in Singapore (NAOHS).MethodsA multi‐stage stratified sampling method was used to recruit participants for a representative national adult oral health survey. A total of 12 212 households were randomly selected from the National Database on Dwellings in Singapore. Within each household eligible persons aged ≥65 years were automatically invited to participate while a Kish selection method was used to invite those between 21 and 64 years old. The survey comprised a face‐to‐face interview questionnaire and a clinical examination which recorded details of tooth loss, DMFT, DMFS and prevalence of periodontal disease according to the CPITN and the US CDC‐AAP classifications. Weighted analysis was performed to adjust for oversampling, non‐response and post‐stratification. Multivariate regression with backward stepwise selection was carried out to identify predictors of chronic periodontal disease and untreated dental caries.ResultsSix hundred and sixty‐three participants completed both the questionnaires and the clinical examination. The prevalence of edentulousness was 2.7%. Of participants, 34.8% presented with untreated dental caries with a higher proportion found in those who were aged ≥60 years, of Malay ethnicity, living in 1–2‐room public housing and who only visited the dentist when there was a problem. Mean DMFS and DMFT indices were 24.7 and 7.9 respectively. Based on the CDC‐AAP classification, the prevalence of moderate–severe chronic periodontitis was 56.9% and increased with age, with a higher proportion in males. Participants with untreated dental caries were more likely to have moderate or severe periodontal disease.ConclusionsSurvey findings showed high prevalence of dental caries and periodontal disease, at 34.8% and 77.6% respectively. A clear socio‐economic gradient in the distribution of tooth loss, untreated dental caries and moderate‐to‐severe periodontitis was observed.

“…A 2022 study reported that only 34.9% of older adults surveyed had a regular family doctor [13]. A primary healthcare system which delivers episodic care will be insufficient to meet the rising prevalence of NCDs as the inconsistent care being received by patients will increase the associated disease burden [14,15].…”

Background Care continuity by a dedicated, well-trained primary care physician (PCP) has shown to improve health outcomes of patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In Singapore’s fee-for-service primary care system, patients can choose to consult any PCP in either a public (polyclinic), private (General Practitioners/ GP), or both types of clinics, resulting in potential fragmented care. Decision-making by patients in selecting their preferred PCP remains unclear. This study aims to explore the personal factors influencing the choice of PCP among patients with NCDs in primary care. Methods This qualitative research study was conducted in a typical polyclinic. In-depth interviews were conducted on patients with NCDs. Purposive sampling was implemented to enrol patients who had previously consulted PCPs in polyclinics and GP clinics, garnering their perspectives and experiences of care received from both providers. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and audited. Data was coded and analysed using thematic content analysis to identify emerging themes. The physician-specific factors which influence patients’ decision-making of PCP selection are presented here. Results Twenty-one Asian patients aged 38 to 82 years were interviewed. They preferred PCPs with an approachable and genuine demeanour, exhibiting empathy and compassion. They valued the PCPs’ verbal, non-verbal and listening skills. Regarding professional qualities, patients wanted PCPs to demonstrate competency and a patient-centred care approach. Some selected their PCP based on compatible age and gender that they felt comfortable with. Establishing good rapport with their PCP and maintaining continuity of care were deemed as major factors in patients’ PCP selection. Conclusion Patients tended to select PCPs based on their personal characteristics, interpersonal skills, professional attributes, demographics, and the physician-patient relationship. PCPs should be aware of these attributes and demonstrate them during their patient interaction. Leveraging on this enables PCPs to build rapport with their patients and maintain care continuity to optimize their health outcomes.
