According to Caroline Nguyen and collaborating investigators, X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) can commonly induce spontaneous abscesses in the oral cavity &ldquo;without any clinical signs of alteration of the causal tooth.&rdquo; Working with an endocrinology expert, they conducted a qualitative study on the oral health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with XLH, and concluded that &ldquo;the variety of manifestations in patients with XLH necessitates high coordination of multidisciplinary patient care to optimize quality of life and reduce disease burden.&rdquo;The report, published in Endocrine Connections, also posited that &ldquo;oral health care pathways are very chaotic for patients who have difficulty in finding professionals with sufficient knowledge of the disease.&rdquo;A total of 21 patients were included in the study and underwent semi-structured interviews using guiding themes. Nguyen and contributors stated that the topics brought up in their interviews surpassed the initial objectives of the study&rsquo;s design, as patients mostly discussed: changes in their oral and general HRQoL, difficulty in finding a health care pathway, professionals unaware of the pathology, and consequences on their social, professional, or school consequences.In their concluding discussion, the study&rsquo;s authors summarized that these factors led to diminished oral HRQoL for patients with XLH. However, they also advised that &ldquo;this situation improves when patients enter a coordinated care network.&rdquo;
