Children in the elevated
caries risk group showed higher mean values for conduct problems as well as impulsivity.
For the Conflict scale, a statistically significant difference was found with a higher mean value in the low
caries risk group, compared with the elevated
caries risk group for less conflict (9.03 vs. 7.11; p = 0.006)(Table 3), indicating that there were less conflicts in the families with children belonging to the elevated
caries risk group.
Pearson's Chi - square test for categorical variables and t test for continuous variables were used to analyse family structure and to compare means for the low
caries risk group to the elevated
caries risk group regarding child behavioural characteristics.
The percentage and number (in brackets) of boys and girls in the low, intermediate and high
caries risk groups, and in the elevated caries risk group (combining the intermediate and the high
caries risk groups), respectively
Number of children in the household and the father's ethnicity in the low and elevated
caries risk groups, respectively
From the results of the inductive analysis, it can be concluded that the pattern rules for
the caries risk grouping into «Low Risk» and «Elevated Risk» are realistic.
Not exact matches
Children with externalising problems and an elevated
caries risk may share similar temperamental behaviours as children with an ADHD - associated diagnosis, and it could thus be possible to draw parallels with this
group of children.
The verification of the pattern rules evolved in the inductive analysis, using the original data forming the R2
risk groups, and pooling the values for intermediate and high
caries risk, indicated that the
risk grouping used in the present study was relevant.
To compare two
groups of children with externalising behaviour problems, having low and elevated
caries risk, respectively.
The
caries risk assessments were made by the examining dentists who were not calibrated specifically for taking part in the present study; however, the R2
risk grouping is self - instructive in the electronic file system.
The aim of the present study was to compare two
groups of children with externalising behaviour problems, having low and elevated
caries risks, respectively, in relation to behavioural characteristics and family structure and, further, to compare the
caries risk assessment and gender differences in relation to children in general in the Region of Västra Götaland (RVG), Sweden.
This study has shown that there were statistically significant more children with an elevated
caries risk in the study
group, compared to children in general, in the Region of Västra Götaland (RVG), both totally and within gender.
