Abstract:

Background: Dental and oral health problems occur in all age groups, including the elderly. Dental caries is one of thedental and oral health problems. An epidemiological study reported that 83.5% out of 91 elderly respondents did nothave a routine dental check-up. The data concluded that those who routinely have dental check-up had a lower cariesrisk than the others. The public health centre did not have data about the total of elderly visitors in the dental poly unit.The BULAN KESGILUT book aimed to help to monitor dental and oral health status in the elderly. Purpose: To helpthe dental poly and elderly visitors to have medical records related to dental and oral health using BULAN KESGILUTbook. Methods: The program adopted an indirect health education method involving cadres and dentists from the publichealth centre. The counselling was done by group. The lecture consisted of dental and oral health material printed inthe BULAN KESGILUT book. We have then informed the dentists on how to record the dental and oral health statusin the BULAN KESGILUT book and educate the cadres on how to read those records. Results: The mean of cadres’understanding of BULAN KESGILUT book was 97.92%, and the mean of cadres’ information dissemination relatedto BULAN KESGILUT book was 55.81%. Conclusion: The program results showed that BULAN KESGILUT was aneffective media in monitoring dental and oral health status in the elderly. However, a continuous promotion by the cadresand the public health center is necessary

Abstract:

Abstract Background The prevalence of reported penicillin allergy (PenA) and the impact these records have on health outcomes in the UK general population are unknown. Without such data, justifying and planning enhanced allergy services is challenging. Objectives To determine: (i) prevalence of PenA records; (ii) patient characteristics associated with PenA records; and (iii) impact of PenA records on antibiotic prescribing/health outcomes in primary care. Methods We carried out cross-sectional/retrospective cohort studies using patient-level data from electronic health records. Cohort study: exact matching across confounders identified as affecting PenA records. Setting: English NHS general practices between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014. Participants: 2.3 million adult patients. Outcome measures: prevalence of PenA, antibiotic prescribing, mortality, MRSA infection/colonization and Clostridioides difficile infection. Results PenA prevalence was 5.9% (IQR = 3.8%–8.2%). PenA records were more common in older people, females and those with a comorbidity, and were affected by GP practice. Antibiotic prescribing varied significantly: penicillins were prescribed less frequently in those with a PenA record [relative risk (RR) = 0.15], and macrolides (RR = 4.03), tetracyclines (RR = 1.91) nitrofurantoin (RR = 1.09), trimethoprim (RR = 1.04), cephalosporins (RR = 2.05), quinolones (RR = 2.10), clindamycin (RR = 5.47) and total number of prescriptions were increased in patients with a PenA record. Risk of re-prescription of a new antibiotic class within 28 days (RR = 1.32), MRSA infection/colonization (RR = 1.90) and death during the year subsequent to 1 April 2013 (RR = 1.08) increased in those with PenA records. Conclusions PenA records are common in the general population and associated with increased/altered antibiotic prescribing and worse health outcomes. We estimate that incorrect PenA records affect 2.7 million people in England. Establishing true PenA status (e.g. oral challenge testing) would allow more people to be prescribed first-line antibiotics, potentially improving health outcomes.

Abstract:

Background: Dental and oral health problems among elementary students can be resolved through an oral health programme in schools. The main factor that inhibited this scheme was that the recording and reporting still employed a manual system, making it less effective and efficient. The electronic application of this programme can help managers to complete both of these tasks. Purpose: This study’s aim is to assess the effectiveness of the electronic application that is utilised in the oral health school programme to increase the quality of the information relating to the recording of dental health data in schools. Methods: This study used a pre-test and post-test one-group design, and the sample consisted of 37 oral health programme managers in schools who were chosen via simple random sampling. The data in this study was analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The results showed that the use of the electronic application as part of the oral health scheme influenced the quality of the information when details were recorded and reported. This can be seen in the rise in the standard of the information that was noted and disclosed when comparing data before and after using the electronic application; the average value of 1.54 (standard deviation=1.45) increased to an average value of 3.58 (standard deviation=2.84) with a significance level of 0.000 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The electronic application used in conjunction with the oral health programme was effective in raising the quality of dental health records in schools.

Abstract:

IntroductionPoor oral health can have a serious impact on quality of life, social inclusion and self-esteem. There is evidence to suggest that people with serious mental illness have a greater risk of experiencing oral disease and have greater oral treatment needs than the general population. Oral health problems are not well recognized by mental health professionals. We therefore conducted a retrospective study to review oral health care monitoring within the community mental health team.Aims and objectivesTo review the oral health care monitoring for patients accessing the community mental health team.MethodologyAudit tool was developed based on oral health care guidelines outlined by the department of health, and literature review. We then retrospectively review medical records of 25 patients against following standards:.– every client should have the most basic of oral hygiene equipment–toothbrush;– clients should have basic oral hygiene knowledge, (i.e. brush twice or at least once a day);– every client should be registered to a dental practitioner;– every client should have at least one dental check-up per year;– clients with dentures should have their dentures checked up at least once in five years;– have a tooth brush less than three months old.ResultsOut of the 25 patients none had met the standards. It could be a reflection of lack of documentation rather than not providing appropriate information.ConclusionOral health care advice should be part of care plan for people accessing mental health service.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

Tobacco use has a major public health concern that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Tobacco use has an injurious effect on oral health such as oral cancer and potentially malignant disorders like , oral fibrosis. Tobacco use has been found to have a strong, chronic and dose dependent effect on periodontal tissues due to poor oral hygiene caused by increased deposit of debris and calculus among tobacco users. This study aimed to find the association between oral hygiene status and tobacco dependence. A retrospective study was conducted using the case records of patients in University hospital. Data on tobacco dependence and oral hygiene status from 150 patient records were collected and for association. Descriptive statistics and chi-square association was done. The mean age of patients in the records was 35 ± 12.44 years and males (14%) had severe tobacco dependence. The mean Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHIS) score was found to be 2.03 ± 1.009 which is interpreted as fair. There was no statistically significant association between oral hygiene status and tobacco dependence (p= 0.157). Tobacco dependence has no role in the oral hygiene status of an individual.

Abstract:

Introduction: Children suffering from epilepsy are high at risk of oral diseases primarily due to their underlying medical condition which can have an impact on the maintenance level of oral hygiene, but also due to adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs. Objective. The aim of this paper was to identify habits, attitudes and behavior of children with epilepsy and parents in respect to oral health. Method. The experimental group consisted of 50 children with epilepsy, 24 boys and 26 girls, 7-14 years old, mean age 11.2?2.2 years. The control group consisted of healthy children, matched by age and gender. The instruments of investigation consisted of the structured interview of children and parents concerning oral health habits, attitudes and behavior. We used medical records of children with epilepsy as a source of information on their diagnosis, duration of the illness and current therapy. Statistical analysis was performed by chi-squared test, nonparametric correlation, Wilcoxon?s signed rank test and logistic regression. Results. Results showed that more children with epilepsy and their parents had inappropriate habits and attitudes towards oral health, as well as nutrition habits (p<0.001). Compared to healthy controls, children with epilepsy washed their teeth less often and shorter, they had less knowledge about causes of oral diseases and about influence of oral diseases on general health, and they had worse self-rating of teeth and gum condition. In addition, significantly more children with epilepsy used an incorrect technique of teeth brushing (p<0.001). Characteristics of children?s epilepsy and educational degree of parents had no influence on these differences. Conclusion. Study results showed that children with epilepsy and their parents had worse habits, attitudes and behavior towards oral health than healthy controls and their parents. This difference can be explained primarily by worse parental estimation of oral health and behavior towards oral health in comparison to parents of healthy controls. .

Abstract:

Understanding the effect of gender on oral health would facilitate the development of successful attitude and behavior modification approach towards sustainable oral health. This study assessed the behavior, knowledge, rate, and pattern of dental service utilization of the students and workers of Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP). It also tested the widely documented hypothesis that women have better oral health behavior, oral hygiene, and periodontal status but higher dental caries rates than men. Further, it determined what dental procedure is mostly utilized by the patients. The data were based on annual dental records of AUP Dental Department and oral interviews. From the dental record of the year 2017, a total of 2,472 patients visited the dental clinic for the following procedures: oral prophylaxis (40%), tooth extraction (13%), tooth restoration (14%), prosthodontics (7%) and orthodontics (25%). Among the dental procedures, women are always higher in number compared to men. In terms of gender, 960 or 39% of men and 1,512 or 69% of women visited the clinic revealing that women have dental visits more often than men. Oral prophylaxis and orthodontic are two of the most availed dental procedure while prosthodontics is the least. Despite AUP Clinic’s promotion for health care and health care services, dental health care utilization remains very low relating to the whole university population. Women are more concerned with oral health than men, contrary to other researches that males have higher oral health knowledge score than females. Gender differences have no significance in terms of dental care utilization. Participants’ oral health knowledge is at least average and they showed positive attitude towards dental treatment. It is recommended that more oral or dental health campaign be done; utilization of dental service fee among students be promoted; and the importance of oral health be taught.

Abstract:

Background. Chemotherapy is the primary treatment modality used for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but inevitably causes microbiota-related oral complications. This study is aimed at investigating the effects of chemotherapy on oral health status, caries risk, and oral microbiome in pediatric patients with ALL. Methods. Thirty-nine children with ALL receiving chemotherapy were enrolled, and a gender-, age-, dentition stage, and socioeconomic class matched healthy counterpart were recruited. Demographic information and overall health condition were obtained through the questionnaire and medical records. Oral examination was performed to assess caries and salivary status, plaque index, and other oral manifestations. Cariogram was used to assess the overall caries risk. Supragingival samples of thirteen ALL subjects and their counterparts were randomly selected to perform a 16S ribosomal RNA gene 454 pyrosequencing. Raw sequence data were screened, trimmed, and filtered using Seqcln and MOTHUR. Results. The prevalence of dental caries, gingivitis, oral mucositis, xerostomia, and candidiasis in ALL groups was higher than that of the control group ( p < 0.05 ). Children with ALL demonstrated higher caries risk compared to healthy controls (HC) based upon Cariogram ( p < 0.05 ). The oral microbial structure of ALL patients receiving chemotherapy is different from that of healthy controls. Oral microbiota of ALL groups showed less alpha diversity and significant differences in the composition of the oral microbiome compared to healthy controls. Conclusions. ALL patients receiving chemotherapy demonstrated compromised oral health, high caries risk, alteration of caries-related factors, and dysbiosis of oral microbiota. These findings may be of clinical importance in developing better strategies for personalized preventive management of oral diseases for pediatric children with ALL.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: After promulgation and wider dissemination of the Code of Consumer Protection, there was an increase in the number of legal conflicts between patients and dentists, leading these health professionals to increasingly guard themselves from possible lawsuits. As such, it becomes critical the preparation of an adequate and complete clinical record, even though the keeping time remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To review the literature and discuss the keeping time of orthodontic records versus the legal time for their prescription, as well as to propose a model of a Term upon Completion of Dental Treatment. CONCLUSION: It is advised to return part of the clinical records to their rightful owners by means of an itemized receipt. The Term upon Completion reflects the patient's awareness and could be considered by the CCP as the initial term of the prescription time, because it implicates that the patient recognizes the quality of service provided and satisfactory results achieved.

Abstract:

This article focuses on the catastrophe of September 11, 2001; its memory sustained through oral history and captured in narratives. The purpose of this article is twofold: to explore the natural capacity of oral history, an ethical practice, for supporting the active process of historical remembrance even in its most nascent stages; and to use the September 11, 2001, Oral History Narrative and Memory Project as a means of defining a possible approach to documenting historical trauma through oral history. Psychologists who study the impact of massive catastrophic events, from genocide and war to natural catastrophes, define this range of work as “trauma mental health.” Oral history has demonstrated its value in recording traumatic and catastrophic events, whether natural or human-made. This article further traces the case studies conducted weeks after the attacks. One records trauma in the immediate context and the other records the aftermath of trauma followed by a reflection on the same.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the psychological after effects of racialized sexual violence. Although few formal nineteenth-century records of mental illness, mental instability, or depression exist, written and oral slave narratives recount how “the entire life of the slave was hedged about with rules and regulations.” Samuel Cartwright, a well-known physician in the antebellum South, had a psychiatric explanation for runaway slaves, diagnosing them in 1851 as suffering from “drapetomania.” Classified as “a disease of the mind,” Cartwright defined drapetomania as a treatable and preventable condition that caused “negroes to run away.” Cartwright's published work established the foundation for “racism's historic impact” on black mental health. Indeed, Cartwright's pseudo-science, a potent mix of religion, pro-slavery politics, and medicine, forged a powerful connection between mental illness and race continued by subsequent generations of physicians and psychologists.

Abstract:

The use of non-prescription drugs is widespread and has a major impact on the health of the individual user and society. In 2006, the British Crime Survey reported that 10% of adults had used one or more illicit drugs in the preceding year, with 3% reporting using a Class A drug. Over 11 million people in the UK are estimated to have used an illicit drug at least once in their lifetime (35%). Drugs abused vary in their intrinsic potential to cause addiction and, with it, more regular and harmful use. Drug users are influenced by trends and fashions, adopting new compounds such as crack cocaine and experimenting with routes of ingestion. Some drugs may become less popular over time, such as LSD, while others, such as cannabis, experience a revival as more potent strains (e.g. Skunk) are developed. A problem drug user is best defined as a person whose drug taking is no longer controlled or undertaken for recreational purposes and where drugs have become a more essential element of the individual’s life. The true economic and social cost of drug use is likely to be substantially greater than the published figures, which are derived from a variety of health and crime surveys which may overlook vulnerable groups such as the homeless. The majority of non-prescription drugs used in the UK are illegal and covered by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The drugs most commonly abused gave rise in 2003–4 to an estimated financial cost in England and Wales of 15.4 billion pounds to the economy, with Class A drugs such as heroin and cocaine accounting for the majority of this. Some 90% of the cost is due to drug-related crime, with only 3% (£488 million) due to health service expenditure, which is mainly spent on inpatient care episodes. This still represents a major health pressure, which in 2006–7 amounted to 38 000 admissions, in England, for primary and secondary drug-related mental or behavioural problems, and over 10 000 admissions recorded for drug poisoning. Clinicians in all specialities can expect to encounter harmful drug use, especially those working in primary care, A & E, and psychiatric services. Presenting problems are protean, ranging from mood disorders, delirium, and psychosis to sepsis, malnutrition, and hepatitis. Blood-borne infections such as hepatitis C and HIV are widespread, as contaminated needles and syringes are shared by up to a quarter of problem drug users. Even smoking drugs such as crack cocaine can lead to increased transmission of hepatitis C through oral ulceration and contact with hot contaminated smoking pipes. Amongst the UK population, over half of IV drug users have hepatitis C, a quarter have antibodies to hepatitis B, and, by 2006, 4662 had been diagnosed with HIV. Non-prescription drug abuse is a leading cause of death and morbidity amongst the young adult population (those aged 16–35). In 2006 there were 1573 deaths where the underlying cause was poisoning, drug abuse, or dependence on substances controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act. The vast majority (79%) were male. Young men, in particular, are at greater risk of violent death through associated criminal activity such as drug supplying and from deliberate and accidental overdose. The male-to-female ratio for deaths associated with mental and behavioural disorder is 6:1.

Abstract:

Teeth provide myriad information about human development, evolution and behaviour. This begins with birth—one of the most profound physiological shifts that we all record in our teeth. Subsequent daily records of enamel growth reveal the timing of developmental insults and infections during childhood. Nutrient deficiencies may also show up as structural defects in crowns and roots. Permanent microscopic marks and chemical records are important for understanding the health of past peoples, including our hominin ancestors, as is an understanding of the evolution and changing ecology of our oral microbiome. Scholars are also working to understand the developmental and evolutionary bases of dental diseases and disruptions, such as the failure of third molars to form or to erupt—both of which are common in recent humans, but less so during our deeper past. Evolutionary medicine holds that contemporary dental diseases such as caries and periodontal disease may relate to fundamental changes in our behaviour, especially our diet. Finally, hunter-gatherers give us important clues as to why our ancestors did not need orthodontic treatment as so many of us now do. Soft processed diets beloved by modern children and adults alike are insufficient to stimulate jaw growth, leading to skyrocketing rates of impacted wisdom teeth, dental crowding and possibly even novel speech production.

Abstract:

Allergy information is often documented in diverse sections of the electronic health record (EHR). Systematically reconciling allergy information across the EHR is critical to improve the accuracy and completeness of patients’ allergy lists and ensure patient safety. In this retrospective cohort study, we examined the prevalence of incompleteness, inaccuracy, and redundancy of allergy information for patients with a clinical encounter at any Mass General Brigham facility between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. We identified 4 key places in the EHR containing reconcilable allergy information: 1) allergy modules (including free text comments and duplicate allergen entries), 2) medication laboratory tests results, 3) oral medication allergy challenge tests, and 4) medication orders that have been discontinued due to adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Within our cohort, 718,315 (45.2% of the total 1,588,979) patients had an active allergy entry; of which, 266,275 (37.1%) patient’s records indicated a need for reconciliation.

Abstract:

In 2016, the number of pregnancies in women in England and Wales under 18 reached an all-time low since records began in 1969, although over the past decade legal abortions have increased in all ages except those over 40. Approximately 60% of women undergoing a termination of pregnancy report using a method of contraception at the time of conception – usually oral contraceptives or condoms. Long-active methods of contraception are the most reliable in preventing pregnancy. This chapter details the different methods of contraception, mode of action, benefits and disadvantages of different methods, efficacy, how to start and switch methods, including contraception post-partum and in women living with HIV infection.

Abstract:

Mycenaean society of the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1675–1050 B.C.) Aegean world is well known as a hierarchical culture from its archaeology, mortuary patterns, and dietary structure. In particular, Mycenaean culture featured complex heterarchies in terms of class, sex, and gender. Skeletal remains from the major site of Pylos reveal some of the biocultural interplays within life and society. This study illustrates the benefits of integrating written records with multiple lines of paleopathological and isotopic data. Shepartz et al. identify mortuary treatments that serve as indicators of social differentiation in terms of at least two clear-cut macro-class distinctions. The analysis shows that the lower social strata possessed significantly poorer quality diets and that poor oral health was especially common among women. Those of high status evidently enjoyed greater access to protein as constructions of gender may have cross-cut vertical status differentiation.

Abstract:

On behalf of the organizers and sponsors of the 4th International Clinical Engineering & Health Technology Management Congress (ICEHTMC), it is our honor to offer this publication that contains all of the abstracts accepted for the oral sessions in this Congress. Through the amazing support received from the Scientific Program Committee, consisting of several dozen experienced reviewers from all over the world, all of the submissions received were subjected to strict peer review process. This made the Congress’s scientific program an event that exceeded all previous Congress records for quality, quantity, and registration. Major recognition must be given to the unique cooperation between the Global Clinical Engineering Alliance (GCEA), the IFMBE Clinical Engineering Division (IFMBE CED), and AAMI for hosting and collaborating on the organization of this event. Especially, since due to the curtail of international travel during this COVID-19 era, the organizers had to convert the Congress from in-person to a global virtual congress, a first for the international clinical engineering field. The unabated commitment of organizers led by Tom Judd and Yadin David who were endlessly supported by Kallirroi Stavrianou, and Luis Fernandez resulted in the engagement of Clinical Engineering practitioners from around the world, including pre-recording of over 200 presentations. Keynote presentations included globally recognized speakers from the World Health Organization, India and the USA. Support and presentations from sponsors Zoom for Healthcare, R-Zero, Healiom, and Schiller Americas provided a unique opportunity for global health technology shared learning and professional networking. This is the second time that the Congress’s proceedings are published and available in on-line format (GlobalCE.org). The Global Clinical Engineering Journal’s commitment to the promotion and sharing of knowledge is evident through its commitment to timely publication of subjects at the cross between engineering, technology, and patient care outcomes. These proceedings are a great accomplishment that well serve the ongoing and growing Global Clinical Engineering publication task. Conducting a virtual Congress presents a different stage and an opportunity to engage with more members within our field as well as with other stakeholders around professional development, scientific debate, networking, strengthening friendships, and learning more about best practices from places we cannot yet visit in person. We thank all the participants and are confident that you will find these proceedings useful. We wish you success and hope to meet you at our next Congress.

Abstract:

An indicator of the health of the human body in the state of the oral mucosa. Mechanical and chemical factors constantly influence it. At the first stage of the study, a comparative analysis of the frequency of various forms of traumatic injuries of the oral mucosa was carried out. The distribution of patients into groups was also carried out, depending on the medicinal product used. Then clinical examinations were carried out. After that, the therapy of traumatic erosive and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa began. The developed method for treating traumatic lesions of the oral mucosa with medicine based on phytoecdysteroids provides for the elimination of the traumatic factor, applying ointment based on phytoecdysteroids to the dried out focus twice a day. The use of phyto-ointment leads to complete repair of traumatic erosive and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa on average by the eighth day from the start of treatment; a similar effect with the use of "Solcoseryl dental adhesive paste" is achieved by the tenth day, and the gel "Cholisal Dental" - at a later date, which is confirmed in this study. The most significant positive effect on the level of quality of life associated with the effectiveness of treatment of traumatic erosive and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa in comparison with the dental “Solcoseryl dental adhesive paste” and the gel “Cholisal Dental” is exerted by phyto-ointment, where a decrease in the total points was recorded. When conducting routine examinations of patients, it is necessary to pay attention to the oral mucosa damage. Moreover, in treating traumatic injuries of the oral mucosa, it is recommended to use phytoointment, which contains phytoecdysteroids.

Abstract:

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. MS is typically diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. There is no known cause of the disease and each individual experiences varying signs and symptoms depending on the severity of their disease. The most common symptoms include tremor, debilitated gait, visual impairment, or cognitive and emotional disturbances. Current methods used to treat MS include oral medication and surgical treatment. The issues with oral medication are the unwanted side effects to otherwise healthy tissue and the lack of patient adherence. Surgical treatment can be invasive and require longer recovery times. An alternate strategy to treat MS is by increasing the knowledge base of the practitioner to potentially treat specific symptoms. Currently, physicians use observations and MRI scans of the brain and spinal cord to help diagnose and track the progression of MS. There are several studies that analyze existing assistive technology to aid in the treatment of MS tremors. Most of these studies did not involve large test groups, therefore it is difficult to prove their validity. Additionally, none of the current devices are able to track symptoms while simultaneously creating medical history records. The goal of the design is to create a new device that will obtain the frequency and amplitude of tremors, while analyzing the effects of temperature and heart rate on the intensity of the tremor. With this data, the device will advance further MS research and lead to better diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract:

Investigations in vitro on the time-dependent increase in thrombin activityand platelet function have been used tocharacterize the kinetics of the clotting process in nonanticoagulated blood. The test procedures described involve great effort and expense and therefore are not suitable for routine tests in pharmacology and clinical pharmacology. The present contribution describes the determination of clotting times in ATP secretion in the Chrono-Log Whole Blood Aggregometer.Blood was taken from healthy donors who had not used any drug in the two weeks before the trial. 0.5 ml blood wereimmediately transfered into siliconizedglass cuvettes containing 0.4 ml salineand 0.1 ml luciferin-luciferase cocktail prewarmed to 37°C. Impedance and luminescence were recorded continuously. Clotting at the electrodes is indicated by an immediate steep rise in both impedance and luminescence. Clotting time is defined as the time from diluting the blood in the cuvettes until the point at which marked elevation of these variables begins.In the blood of twelve subjects the mean clotting time was 3.8 min and intersubject variation (SD) was 0.45 min. Drastic interindividual differences in response to collagen and ADP in citratedwhole blood were observed in the study group.In vitro addition of 20 μl Fibraccel(Behringwerke AG, Marburg, FRG),a platelet factor 3 containing plateletextract decreased clotting time by 35 %(n=10). In the presence of 0.2 U heparin a slow and lona-lasting increase in impedance was seen. 1 g oral AspirinR didnot influence clotting time measured ex vivo.The results indicate that whole blood aggregometry is a simple, fast, and precise method of determining blood clotting and the effects of drugs in a medium reflecting almost physiological conditions.

Abstract:

Introduction: The 2018 Farm Bill changed the legal status of cannabis plants that meet the definition of industrial hemp and allowed for the rapid expansion of hemp-based products into commercial spaces. With an emphasis on industrial hemp as the source of naturally-occurring cannabinoid compounds, a niche market for cannabidiol (CBD)-containing products was quickly established in pharmacies and grocery stores. Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has retained oversight of all cannabis-based products, labelling of hemp-derived products for retail markets remains largely unregulated. Under federal law, CBD cannot be added to foods, beverages, sold as a dietary supplement or marketed for a therapeutic benefit, however the perceived health benefits of CBD as an acceptable and safe ingredient contribute to the growing market for these health products. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the range of over-the-counter (OTC) hemp- and CBD-based products available to consumers and determine the prevalence of other pharmacologically active agents identified as ingredients in these products. Labels were scored for the presence of: active and inactive ingredients, percent CBD, full-spectrum hemp, full-spectrum CBD or CBD isolate. Methods: Two large pharmacy chains and one medium-sized grocery store located in the Pacific Northwest were surveyed between May 2020 and February 2021 and OTC hemp-derived products on display were recorded. Identification of pharmacologically active ingredients on the product label was validated using the National Medicines Comprehensive Database. Products that were noted to have CBD or hemp ingredients were included in the study, while any products that did not accurately report the amount of CBD in the product were excluded. Products that did not list the total weight of the product were excluded from the analysis. Results: Thirty-three unique products were recorded from 19 different manufacturers. 39% of product labels indicated the presence of Full-Spectrum Hemp as part of the base product, while 66% of products listed Hemp Extract as the base product. Text labels on CBD-containing products, on average, indicated more than 3 additional pharmacologically active ingredients were contained in each product. Topical CBD products were more likely to have other ingredients such as arnica montana, menthol and camphor, whereas products for oral ingestion were more likely to have only CBD as the primary active ingredient. Text labels on 52% of topical CBD products listed the presence of 10% menthol. Average concentrations of CBD in OTC products was found to be 1.12% ± 1.48 %, based on dry weight. Conclusion: Product text labels on OTC hemp-and CBD-containing preparations is varied and presented in a non-standardized format. Topical CBD products were more likely to contain other pharmacologically active natural products that can be used for the treatment of pain symptoms. Concentrations of arnica montana, menthol and camphor were as much as 10-fold higher than the proportion of CBD contained in these products. The absence of a standard format for labelling of OTC hemp- and CBD-derived products and the frequent presence of other active ingredients has the potential to create confusion and risk for the consumer.
