This 84-item dental/medical health literacy word list was provided to a sample of 200 adult patients seeking treatment for the first time at the UCLA School of Dentistry Oral Diagnosis Clinic between January 2005 and June 2006 following approval of the study protocol by the UCLA institutional review board. Potential participants were screened by the clinic coordinator based on information from the patient’s completed intake form which included a medical history to screen out people who had great difficulty communicating in English and were unable to consent to the study. People were chosen for inclusion in the study using the criteria of being at least 18 years of age, without cognitive, vision or hearing impairment, and having either limited or no difficulty understanding the intake questions posed to the patient by the coordinator in English. Each eligible participant was given a letter describing the study, emphasizing the voluntary confidential nature of the research, and the subject’s ability to withdraw at any time, and inviting them to participate. This letter was read to the patient while they followed with their own copy in hand. Comprehension of the information was done by asking the subject to reiterate the procedures included in the study. Following informed consent, participants were administered the 84-item REALM-D and a 48-item survey instrument on health beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge. Each patient received $5.00 after completing the initial survey and another $5.00 after completing a follow-up survey.
The protocol for administration and scoring of the original instrument was retained. Each of the 200 study participants was given a laminated copy of the REALM-D by the interviewer and asked to read each word aloud. If the subject could not read a word, he/she was instructed to say “blank” and move to the next word. Over the course of the study, five interviewers were trained by the coinvestigator on how to administer and score the REALM-D instrument. Calibration was done by having two interviewers complete and score a sample REALM-D instrument as the coinvestigator listened for accurate phonetic pronunciation. Interviewers were given the original REALM-coding rubric and instructed to score accordingly, use the following marking system; a correctly pronounced word received a plus (+), a mispronounced word received check (√), and a word not attempted received a minus (−). Words pronounced correctly received a score of 1 by the interviewer, and mispronounced or not attempted words received a score of 0.

A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to identify clinically meaningful between-group differences in MDADI scores. HNC patients who completed MDADI questionnaires at the time of routine modified barium swallow (MBS) studies (03/2003-06/2011) were eligible for inclusion in the study. Inclusion criteria were: 1) diagnosis of oral cavity, oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal, laryngeal, or thyroid cancer, and 2) complete MDADI scores recorded in the MDACC MBS Database. Nineteen hundred eighty-nine potentially eligible head and neck cancer patients with complete MDADI scores were identified by a search of the MDACC MBS tracking database. Eight hundred twenty-four patients were excluded according to the following criteria: more than 1 site of disease, metastatic disease, recurrent disease, patient <18 years of age at the time of MDADI, and those who underwent MBS in the early postsurgical period (within 6 weeks of surgery) when PO intake has not yet been attempted to allow appropriate completion the questionnaire. Therefore, 1,136 patients were included in this analysis. Institutional review board approval and a waiver of informed consent were obtained.

A secondary analysis of data collected from a sample of 200 adult patients seeking treatment for the first time from an Oral Diagnosis Clinic at a School of Dentistry in the United States between January 2005 and June 2006 were used for this study. In the original study, participants were screened by the clinic coordinator based on information from their completed intake form for inclusion in the study. Criteria included being at least 18 years of age, without cognitive, vision, or hearing impairment, and having at least limited understanding of English. Each eligible participant was given a letter describing the study and inviting them to participate, including information on receiving $5.00 after completing the initial survey and another $5.00 after completing a follow-up survey. Each of the 200 study participants was given a laminated copy of the 84-item REALM-D by the interviewer and asked to read each word aloud (16 (link)). The protocol for administration and scoring of the original instrument was retained and used for scoring the REALM-D. If the subject could not read a word, he/she was instructed to say “blank” and move to the next word. Interviewers were trained by the co-investigator on how to administer and score the REALM-D instrument. Words pronounced correctly received a score by the interviewer of 1 and mispronounced or not attempted words received a score of 0. Paper copies of a 48-item health beliefs and attitudes survey were also administered to the study subject. Categories of questions included patient health education assessment (UCLA clinic survey), health values, beliefs and attitudes, and health locus of control.

Medical records of consecutive patients with surgically treated primary oral SCC were reviewed between January 1985 to January 2019, enrolled patients must meet the following criteria: there was prior history of radiotherapy for NPC, and the latency between the diagnosis of oral SCC and the end of radiotherapy was not less than 3 years [13 (link),14 (link)]. Information regarding age, sex, operation record, treatment, and follow-up was collected and analyzed. All the pathologic sections were re-evaluated and patients were re-staged by the 7th edition American Joint Committee on Cancer classification.
To compare the survival between NPC survivors and sporadic oral SCC patients, patients with sporadic oral SCC were also reviewed during the same study period, each NPC survivor was matched with two sporadic oral SCC patients, the matching process was performed by age (±5 years), sex, primary tumor site, perineural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, smoker, disease stage (stage I/II vs. stage III/IV), neck node status (positive vs. negative), and tumor stage (T1/T2 vs. T3/T4) [11 (link)]. Perineural invasion was considered to be present if tumor cells were identified within the perineural space and/or nerve bundle, lymphovascular infiltration was positive if tumor was noted within the lymphovascular channels [15 (link)]. Drinkers were defined as those who consumed at least one alcoholic drink per day for at least 1 year [11 (link),16 (link)], smokers were defined as those smoked on a daily basis or had quit smoking for less than 5 years [11 (link)].

We identified people with a first time purchase of a NOAC: apixaban (introduced 10 December 2012), dabigatran (1 August 2011), rivaroxaban (1 February 2012), as well as patients who started warfarin treatment (from 1 August 2011) up to 30 November 2015. All prescribed drugs in Denmark are partially reimbursed, based on a patient’s level of drug expenses.
To study a cohort of patients treated for atrial fibrillation, we applied several criteria. We restricted the consumption of NOACs to standard doses (apixaban 5 mg twice daily, dabigatran 150 mg twice daily, and rivaroxaban 20 mg once daily). Warfarin is only available in 2.5 mg dose tablets in Denmark. We decided to focus our analyses on patients receiving standard dosages of apixaban, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban, because patients who receive reduced dosage regimens have more comorbidities and are of more advanced age (>80 years). Thus, comparisons across various dosing regimens and choices of antithrombotic agent could result in comparisons on mixed cohorts in terms of comorbidities, age, and concomitant treatment. Confining the analysis to patients receiving standard dosages only will thus allow for easier interpretation and a more robust comparison of cohorts. To establish a cohort of patients who were naïve to oral anticoagulant treatment, we excluded those who had used any oral anticoagulant within one year. We also excluded patients with hospital diagnoses indicating valvular atrial fibrillation (mitral stenosis or mechanical heart valves) or venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) to narrow the included patients to only those who were likely to have been prescribed oral anticoagulants because of a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in either hospital or general practice. The entire cohort comprised patients with atrial fibrillation. We also analysed a subgroup of patients who had been admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation.

All patients in this cohort study underwent surgery as primary treatment for HNSCC performed at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Clinical Hospital Dubrava, University of Zagreb, Croatia, between 2015 and 2019 and followed-up until November 2022. Patients with a diagnosis of oral cancer (O; gingiva, retromolar area, oral tongue, sublingual area—excluding base of the tongue, buccal mucosa), as well as oropharyngeal cancer (OP; base of the tongue, tonsil, posterior pharyngeal wall) were included. In our previous study [33 (link)], a subset of patients was assessed by high-throughput methods for miRNA profiling. However, at that time, the patient follow-up was too short to make observations regarding outcomes. Within the current study, we collected follow-up information and included additional patients treated in the intervening period.
A total of 76 patients, 20 women (age range 32–87 years) and 56 men (age range 31–85 years), were included in the current study. Patients’ data from previously collected (n = 59) and newly enrolled patients (n = 17) are shown in Supplementary Table S1. For the current study additional detailed information including clinical tumour, node, and metastasis (cTNM) status, pathological TNM (pTNM) status, histological grade, presence of histopathologically assessed angioinvasion or perineural invasion or their combination, tumour involvement of surgical margins (and the distance to the margin), lymph node yield (LNY), positivity and ratio (LNR), presence of extranodal extension (ENE), postoperative treatments and survival information including disease recurrence (Table 1 and Table 2) were collected from hospital databases and medical records for all included patients. Tumours were staged by using the 8th edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual [9 ]. Since p16 information was not available, cases were staged according to the p16 negative guidelines. Separate staging is shown for clinical and pathological TNM classification (Table 1 and Table 2). Furthermore, alcohol and tobacco consumption as risk factors were reviewed; however, pack/year or detailed alcohol consumption data were not available.
Informed consent was obtained from all patients, and the study (Epic-HNSCC project No 4758) was approved by the Clinical Hospital Dubrava Bioethics Committee (EP-KBD-10.06.2014) and the Ruđer Bošković Institute Bioethics Committee (BEP-3748/2-2014).

This quantitative prospective cohort study was granted ethics approval from the Damascus University Human Ethics Committee (1065–2019) and was conducted in compliance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and per the Reporting Recommendation for Tumor Marker Prognostic Studies (REMARK) [26 (link)]. Cases were selected from those accumulated by us between January 2019 and December 2020 for ongoing projects to assess the utility of saliva-based liquid biopsies in managing patients with HNSCC [19 (link)]. The cut-off day for the follow-up program was the end of January 2023. The overall survival of each patient was calculated from the date of diagnosis till (i) the time of death for deceased patients or (ii) the end of the project follow-up period for censored ones.
Cases were considered eligible for inclusion if they met the following criteria: (i) age of more than 18 years and signed informed consent, (ii) a confirmed microscopic diagnosis of either oral SCC or laryngeal SCC, (iii) no history of other malignancies, (iv) no history of receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy, (v) no history of immunotherapy of immunodeficiency disorders, and (vi) the availability of complete follow-up data by the study cut-off day. The exclusion criteria were those with chronic systematic conditions, including pregnancy, and those who voluntarily decided to withdraw from the study.
Two senior pathologists blindly reviewed microscopic slides to confirm the diagnosis based on the World Health Organization (WHO) classifications [1 ]. The stage of HNSCC was determined as per the Eighth Edition American Joint Committee on Cancer staging Manual (TNM system) [7 (link)].

A diagnosis of oral frailty was based on six criteria: (1) number of natural teeth; (2) chewing ability as an indicator of general masticatory performance; (3) maximum tongue pressure; (4) articulatory oral motor skill (“ta” sound); (5) subjective difficulties in eating hard foods; and (6) subjective difficulties in swallowing. We defined “oral non-frailty” as having no poor status for any of the above six criteria, while “oral frailty” was defined as having a poor status for three or more criteria [4 (link)].
“New-onset” oral frailty was defined as the first documentation of oral frailty since completion of the baseline survey. The follow-up period was defined as the number of years between the time of new-onset and completion of the baseline survey. On the other hand, “no-onset” oral frailty was defined as not meeting the criteria for oral frailty during the six-year follow-up period.
The number of natural teeth was assessed by dental professionals using the Zsig-mondy–Palmer system [12 (link)]. As almost all Japanese dental hygienists use this system, the inter-examiner calibration was deemed to be sufficient. Participants with less than 19 natural teeth were categorized as having a poor dental status [4 (link)].
Chewing ability was measured using a color-changing chewing gum (Xylitol; Lotte, Tokyo, Japan), which changes from green to red with chewing. Participants were asked to chew the gum for 60 s in the same way that they would chew food. We evaluated the gum’s redness using a colorimeter (Color Reader CR-13; Konica Minolta, Tokyo, Japan) [13 (link)]. Participants with the a-value (redness or greenness) of less than 14.2 (for men) or 10.8 (for women) were categorized as having a poor general masticatory performance [4 (link)].
Tongue pressure was measured with a hand-held balloon probe and manometer (JMS tongue pressure measurement instrument; GC, Tokyo, Japan) [14 (link)]. Participants were asked to place the balloon on the anterior part of their palate and to raise their tongue to compress the balloon onto the palate as forcefully as possible. Participants exerting a force of less than 27.4 kPa (for men) or 26.5 kPa (for women) were categorized as having a poor tongue pressure [4 (link)].
Oral diadochokinesis (“ta”) was assessed as a measure of articulatory oral motor skill [15 (link)]. Participants were asked to articulate this syllable repetitively as quickly as possible for five seconds. This syllable allowed for assessment of the three major articulatory organs: the lips, the tongue tip, and the tongue dorsum. Articulation counts were measured using a digital counter (T.K.K.3350 digital counter; Takei Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd., Niigata, Japan), and oral diadochokinesis was calculated separately, also using this syllable, as the articulation count per second. Participants with articulation rates of less than 5.2 times/second (for men) or 5.4 times/second (for women) were categorized as having poor articulatory oral motor skill [4 (link)].
Subjective assessments were conducted to evaluate difficulties in eating and swallowing, using the Kihon Checklist (KCL) questionnaire, an instrument designed to assess risk of dependence for older adults [16 ]. The checklist includes questions such as, “Do you have any difficulties eating hard foods compared to 6 months ago (Yes or No)?”; “Have you choked on your tea or soup recently (Yes or No)?”; and “Do you often experience having a dry mouth (Yes or No)?”

Four male patients, aged 14, 19, 22 and 37 respectively, were referred to the Dental Clinic of Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli (FPG), Catholic University of Rome, for the diagnosis of white asymptomatic diffuse oral lesions. They were all selected for this study, because the aspect of the lesions led to the suspicion of WSN; given its rarity, the number of patients was considered sufficient for this observational study. The study was approved by the Ethic Committee of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (#565). A written consent, including information about the diagnostic procedures i.e., oral biopsy, exfoliative cytology and genetic testing, was given to all patients, and to the parents of the minor.
