: Using axiUm for Evidence-Based Research
Outline
• COHRI
• Electronic health records (EHRs)
– Importance of standardization
• Research goal
• Dental Data repository (DDR)
• Using the DDR for research
• Closing thoughts
What is ?
• Consortium for Oral Health Research and Informatics
• Founded in 2007
• Comprised of 35 member institutions, and over 100 individuals
Member Institutions
• Academic Centre for Dentistry (ACTA) • Baylor College of Dentistry • Columbia University • Creighton University • Harvard University • Indiana University • Medical University of South Carolina • Meharry Medical College • Midwestern University • New York University • Nova Southeastern University • Oregon Health & Science University • Temple University • Tufts University School of Dental Medicine • University of California, San Francisco • University of Florida • University of Illinois at Chicago
• University of Kentucky • University of Louisville • University of Michigan • University of Minnesota • University of Nevada, Las Vegas • University of New England • University of Oklahoma • University of Pacific • University of Pittsburgh • University of Southern California • University of Tennessee • University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston • University of Texas, San Antonio • University of Washington • Virginia Commonwealth University • West Virginia University • Willamette Dental Group
EHRs in Dental Schools
• Most dental schools and more and more private practices use electronic health records
• ~85% of schools use axiUm EHR system
• Difficult to query data from EHRs
Health History forms
• COHRI has developed standardized health history forms
– Medical history form
– Dental history form
• Why?
Total of 927 questions in medical history forms from four dental schools –
Only 9 questions (1%) overlap!
Medical History Overlap
• Diabetes
• Alcohol consumption
• Pregnant
• Allergy to local anesthetics
• Rheumatic fever
• Heart attack
• Hypertension
• Asthma
• Seizure
Total of 284 questions in dental history forms from four dental schools -
Only 7 questions (2%) overlap!
Dental History Overlap
• Sensitive to cold, hot, sweet, or pressure
• Difficulty and/or pain chewing, talking, or using jaw
• Clench, brux, or grind teeth
• Have a partial or complete denture
• Periodontal treatment or surgery
• Root canal treatment
• Braces or orthodontic work
Research Goal
• Establish an Oral Health Data Repository that can accept and integrate data from disparate dental data sources, and allow end users to explore and extract information to support their specific research or decision making needs
• Why important?
– Few high quality datasets in dentistry
– Need for evidence-based decisions about dental treatments
G08 Grant
• G08: Resource development grant – National Library of Medicine (NIH)
– $407,000 over 3 years (9/30/09-9/29/12)
• Objective: to establish an Oral Health Data Repository that can accept and integrate data from disparate dental data sources, and allow end users to explore and extract information to support their specific research or decision making needs.
• Participating Institutions: – University of Texas at Houston
– University of California at San Francisco
– Tufts University School of Dental Medicine
– Harvard School of Dental Medicine

How Can You Use the DDR for Research?
What is the association between diabetes and periodontitis in adults?
• Identify the Population: – Adults (> 18 y) who have treatment at a university
dental clinic
• Identify the Intervention: – Self-report of diabetes
• Identify the Comparison: – No self-report of diabetes
• Identify the Outcome: – Periodontitis, as defined as presence of any tooth
mobility
Developing the PICO question
The PICO Question
In adults who seek treatment at a university dental clinic, is there an association between self-report of diabetes and periodontitis, as defined as the presence of tooth mobility?
Create 2x2 table to test the association between diabetes and periodontitis
Tooth Mobility (Outcome)
Total
Yes No
Diabetes (Exposure)
Yes a b a+b
No c d c+d
Total a+c b+d N

Yes No
Diabetes (Exposure)

Based on these data, there does appear to be an association between self-reported diabetes and periodontitis, as defined by presence of any tooth mobility.
