The identification of patients at risk of developing OD is crucial. It has been estimated that up to 47% of all hospitalized elderly patients and up to 75% of all institutionalized elderly patients may have clinical signs of OD. Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a common problem in the elderly population. Es importante realizar un cribado adecuado de DO debido a los riesgos asociados de desnutrición y mortalidad a largo plazo que conlleva. ConclusionesĮl test EAT-10 es una herramienta útil en el cribado de la DO. Durante un seguimiento de 872,71 (DE: 642,89) días el riesgo de DO según EAT-10 fue un factor predictivo independiente de mortalidad en análisis multivariante (HR: 2,8 IC 95%: 1,49-5,28 p = 0,001). Este grupo de pacientes presentó mayores prevalencias de desnutrición (88,2% vs. El 56,7% (n = 51) presentaron riesgo de DO según EAT-10. Se incluyeron 90 pacientes con una edad media de 83 (DE: 11,74) años. Se estudió la asociación de la presencia de DO con la desnutrición y la mortalidad a largo plazo. En las primeras 48 h del ingreso de los pacientes se evaluó la DO mediante el test EAT-10 y la presencia de desnutrición con el Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). Material y métodosĮstudio de cohortes retrospectivo de pacientes hospitalizados en medicina interna.

Adequate screening for OD is important because of its associated risks of malnutrition and long-term mortality.Įvaluar la prevalencia de disfagia orofaríngea (DO) mediante el Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) y su asociación con desnutrición y mortalidad a largo plazo. The EAT-10 is a useful tool for screening OD. During follow-up for 872.71 (SD: 642.89) days, risk of DO according to EAT-10 was an independent predictor of mortality factor in a multivariate analysis (HR: 2.8 95% CI: 1.49–5.28 p = 0.001). This group of patients had greater prevalence rates of malnutrition (88.2% vs. Of these, 56.7% were at risk of OD according to EAT-10. Ninety patients with a mean age of 83 (SD: 11.8) years were enrolled. Association of OD to malnutrition and long-term mortality was analyzed. In the first 48 h after hospital admission, OD was assessed using the EAT-10, and presence of malnutrition with the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). Material and methodsĪ retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to the general internal medicine ward. To assess the prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) using the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) and its association with malnutrition and long-term mortality.
