We conducted a cross-sectional study among patients seeking care at the Medical and
Consultation Center for the Treatment of Oral Mucosa Diseases of Poltava State Medical
University. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of chronic lip fissure among patients seeking
care at this facility.
The Chi-square test was applied to establish the correlation (associative links) between the
presence of chronic lip fissure and sociodemographic factors, the presence of bad habits and
occupational hazards or work conditions. Using a multivariable logistic regression model, we
identified independent risk factors (independent predictors), associated with the occurrence of
chronic lip fissure. These factors include gender, age, level of education, bad habits such as
smoking, and exposure to unfavorable climatic working conditions.
Gaining insights into the causes and clinical presentation of chronic lip fissure is paramount for
its prevention, providing proper explanation, and raising awareness among patients about the
factors contributing to its occurrence.
