Prevalence and risk factors of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis among adult cancer patients at the cancer unit of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital.

The study found that two out of five chemotherapy patients developed oral mucositis, with nearly half being grade 2. The risk factors identified in our study were comparable to those reported in previous studies. Therefore, identification and assessment of cancer patients at high risk for chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis should be routinely done for proper and timely management.
