World Workshop on Oral Medicine VIII: development of a core outcome set for dry mouth: a systematic review of outcome domains for salivary hypofunction.

Seven domains encompassing 30 outcome measures were identified, confirming the diversity in outcomes and outcome measures used in research regarding salivary gland hypofunction. Identified items will be used in conjunction with those identified regarding xerostomia to create a core outcome set for dry mouth quantification for use in future clinical trials, with the overall goal of improving the standardization of reporting, leading to the establishment of more robust evidence for the management of dry mouth and improving patient care.
