Objective:To investigate the prevalence of sialorrhea in orally intubated patients and systematically analyze its influencing factors. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 15 to 31, 2025, involving 40 tertiary general hospitals across 10 prefecture-level cities in Sichuan Province, including Chengdu, Zigong, and Mianyang. The investigation assessed the current status of sialorrhea in patients undergoing oral endotracheal intubation.Results:A total of 453 questionnaires were collected, of which 440 were valid, yielding an effective response rate of 97.0%. Statistical analysis revealed that the incidence rate of sialorrhea among orally intubated patients was 27.27%.. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the following as independent risk factors for sialorrhea: Body Mass Index
