Abstract

Background & aims Oropharyngeal dysphagia and malnutrition are prevalent conditions in the older. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between oropharyngeal dysphagia, nutritional status and clinical outcome in older patients admitted to an acute geriatric unit. Methods We studied 1662 patients ≥70 years consecutively hospitalized with acute diseases, in whom dysphagia could be clinically assessed by the volume-viscosity swallow test and nutritional status with the Mini Nutritional Assessment(®). Anthropometric and laboratory measurements were taken and mortality recorded during hospital stay, at 6 months and one year after discharge was recorded. Results 47.4% (95% CI 45-49.8%) patients presented oropharyngeal dysphagia and 30.6% (95% CI 27.9%-33.3%), malnutrition. Both conditions were associated with multimorbidity, multiple geriatric syndromes and poor functional capacity (p Conclusions Prevalence of dysphagia was higher than malnutrition in our older patients. Dysphagia was an independent risk factor for malnutrition, and both conditions were related to poor outcome.

  • The swallowing muscles are different from somatic muscles as they receive continuous stimulation from the respiratory center, but are inevitably affected by malnutrition and disuse; accumulating evidence exists regarding the negative influence on swallowing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
