How should one conduct a literature review on oral health decline in hospitalized geriatric patients and its link to mortality risk?
Hospitalized elderly patients often experience rapid health decline.Oral health is discussed as a potential risk factor.I want to understand how existing research frames this relationship.

From my experience reviewing clinical and public health literature, this topic benefits from a structured, interdisciplinary approach. I have seen strong reviews draw from geriatrics, nursing, dentistry, and epidemiology rather than relying on one field alone. I would recommend clearly defining outcomes and settings early, as hospital-based studies differ from community data. Framing oral health as part of systemic decline helps integrate findings meaningfully.
