Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Duration of oral mucositis healing | Change from oral mucositis healing levels at 15 days | Oral mucosa of patients were evaluated with The Oral Evaluation Guide by examining the patients mucous membrane with the help of light source and asking patients. Oral Evaluation Guide: The guideline evaluates the changes of the oral mucosa in eight areas. In the evaluation of the guide, numerical expressions like 1, 2, 3 are used and the changes in voice, swallowing function, saliva, tongue, lips, mucous membranes, gums, teeth or prostheses are scored. When scoring, all scores from eight areas are collected and the Oral Mucosal Score (OMS) is calculated. The lowest possible score is 8 and the highest score is 24. As the score increases, intra-oral complaints and the severity of mucositis increase. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Severity of oral mucositis | Change from severity of oral mucositis at 15 days | Severity of oral mucositis were evaluated with World Health Organization Oral Mucositis Scoring Index by examining the patients mucous membrane with the help of light source and asking patients. World Health Organization Oral Mucositis Scoring Index: According to this index, the severity of oral mucositis is graded as grade 0; no mucositis, grade 1; mild, grade 2; moderate, grade 3-4; severe mucositis. |
