Abstract
BACKGROUND The improvement of swallowing function after stroke is a significant challenge faced by patients and health care professionals. However, the current evidence synthesis of the effects of respiratory muscle training (RMT) on swallowing function is limited. OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of RMT on swallowing recovery in patients undergoing stroke. METHODS The CKNI, WanFang Data, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies evaluating RMT interventions' effect on swallowing outcomes. Risks of bias were evaluated using the approach recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration tool and a summary of findings table was generated using the GRADE approach. Outcomes were synthesized using a random-effects meta-analysis model. RESULTS RMT interventions reduced the risk of aspiration (SMD = 1.19; 95% CI, 0.53-1.84), the recovery process of water swallowing function (RR = 1.22; 95% CI, 1.05-1.42), and the activity of the swallowing muscles (SMD = 2.91; 95% CI, 2.22-3.61). However, there was no significant effect of RMT on the functional level of oral intake (SMD = 0.70; 95% CI, -0.03 to 1.42). CONCLUSIONS RMT can be regarded as an innovative, auxiliary means in the near future to better manage and improve swallowing function, given its improving effect on work outcomes in this review.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a physiatrist-led clinical pathway to expedite rehabilitation transitions for stroke patients with dysphagia requiring nasogastric tube or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. DESIGN This is a retrospective single-center observational study in 426 adults with stroke and dysphagia admitted to the acute hospital. Physican Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) was consulted to determine dysphagia prognosis and candidacy for rehabilitation admission with nasogastric tube or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. The proportion of patients accepted with nasogastric tube versus percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, progression to total oral diet during rehabilitation, and lengths of stay were tracked. RESULTS The rate of recovery to total oral diet for patients accepted with nasogastric tube was 38/44 = 86.3% versus 29/75 = 38.6% with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. There was a significant difference in mean time to total oral diet with nasogastric tube (20.37 days) versus percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (34.46 days): t (43) = 4.49, P < 0.001. The acute hospital length of stay was significantly shorter with nasogastric tube (12.9 days) versus percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (20.4 days): t (117) = 4.16, P < 0.001. Rehabilitation length of stay did not differ significantly between groups (26.9 vs. 32.0 days). CONCLUSION Physiatrist-led initiatives to evaluate stroke patients with dysphagia can expedite rehabilitation transitions, prevent unnecessary invasive procedures, and reduce acute hospital length of stay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Seizures can cause transient neurological symptoms, such as hemiparesis and aphasia. However, temporary swallowing changes leading to postictal dysphagia have not been previously described. Therefore, this study evaluated the presence of swallowing disorders following seizure. In addition, dysphagia severity and duration of any recovery from dysphagic symptoms were investigated. METHODS The local clinical database of all fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) examinations performed from 2008 to 2019 was screened for patients diagnosed with seizures, but excluding patients with intensive care unit admission or intubation >24 h. Patient charts were evaluated to identify preexisting dysphagia or potential concurrent medical causes for dysphagia, including hyponatremia, increased intracranial pressure, sepsis, or other encephalopathies associated with infections, or other possible causes at the time of admission. Patients receiving >.5 defined daily doses of benzodiazepines or neuroleptics were also excluded. Age, sex, seizure semiology and etiology, comorbidities, concurrent pneumonia, and dysphagia course during hospitalization were evaluated as predictors of the occurrence of dysphagia or its potential duration. RESULTS We identified 41 patients with dysphagia following a seizure, without evidence of any concurrent cause of swallowing dysfunction. These patients all presented with focal structural epilepsy, they had a mean age of 79 ± 11.3 years (range = 44-95 years), and 21 were women. The mean Elixhauser Comorbidity Score was 4.8. Hospital-acquired pneumonia was detected in 21 patients (51.2%). FEES diagnosed mild and severe dysphagia in 21 (51.2%) and 20 (48.8%) patients, respectively. Dysphagia improved significantly (p = .001) during hospitalization, persisting for an average of 3.9 days (median = 3 days, SD = 2.07 days, range = 1-8 days). SIGNIFICANCE Dysphagia is a potential transient neurological deficit following seizure. Our findings suggest that older patients, with focal structural epilepsy, are at risk for postictal dysphagia. Further studies are needed to ascertain the prevalence, complications, and predictors of postictal dysphagia. Dysphagia screening may improve early detection in patients with relevant risk factors, as well as reduce the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating neurologic disease with high mortality and disability. There have been global improvements in survival, which has contributed to the prevalence of patients living with long-term sequelae related to this disease. The focus of active research has traditionally centered on acute treatment to reduce mortality, but now there is a great need to study the course of short- and long-term recovery in these patients. In this narrative review, we aim to describe the core pillars in the preservation of cerebral function, prevention of complications, the recent literature studying neuroplasticity, and future directions for research to enhance recovery outcomes following aSAH.

Abstract
After a stroke, most patients have dysphagia, which can lead to aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, and adverse functional outcomes. Protective interventions aimed at reducing these complications remain the cornerstone of treatment. Dietary adjustments and oral hygiene help mitigate the risk of aspiration pneumonia, and nutritional supplementation, including tube feeding, might be needed to prevent malnutrition. Rehabilitative interventions aim to enhance swallowing function, with different behavioural strategies showing promise in small studies. Investigations have explored the use of pharmaceutical agents such as capsaicin and other Transient-Receptor-Potential-Vanilloid-1 (TRPV-1) sensory receptor agonists, which alter sensory perception in the pharynx. Neurostimulation techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and pharyngeal electrical stimulation, might promote neuroplasticity within the sensorimotor swallowing network. Further advancements in the understanding of central and peripheral sensorimotor mechanisms in patients with dysphagia after a stroke, and during their recovery, will contribute to optimising treatment protocols.

Abstract
Dysphagia is one of the most common symptoms of stroke and can lead to other complications such as pneumonia, dehydration, and malnutrition. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the predictive value of a comprehensive swallowing assessment tool, the Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability (MASA), in the acute phase of stroke for oral intake status at discharge. Among 1,133 consecutive patients with acute stroke, 512 patients whose swallowing function was assessed using the MASA within 24 h of admission were included. Data including demographic information, stroke severity, MASA, Oral Health Assessment Tool, body mass index, and serum albumin level were collected. Predictive factors for oral intake were analyzed using a multiple logistic regression model, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the cutoff values of the MASA score for determining oral intake at discharge. Oral intake at discharge was established in 69.1% of the cohort (354/512). The multiple logistic regression analysis identified a higher MASA score, younger age, and higher serum albumin level as significant predictors of oral intake at discharge. The cutoff value of the MASA score for oral intake was 136.5 points, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.87. These findings suggest that the MASA is a valid tool for predicting oral intake in patients with dysphagia during the acute phase of stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluate clinical outcomes of stroke survivors in Peru discharged with artificial nutrition via a feeding tube (FT), and explore perspectives and experiences of these patients and their caregivers. METHODS Retrospective chart review to describe the prevalence of FT placement and characteristics of patients admitted with stroke to the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurológicas in Lima, Peru between January 2019 and 2021. Follow-up calls to stroke survivors discharged home with FTs or their caregivers included quantitative and qualitative questions to assess long-term outcome and explore perspectives around poststroke care and FT management. We analyzed quantitative data descriptively and applied thematic analysis to qualitative data using a consensus-driven codebook. RESULTS Of 812 hospitalized patients with stroke, 146 (18%) were discharged home with FT, all with nasogastric tubes (NGTs). Follow-up calls were performed a median of 18 months after stroke with 96 caregivers and three patients. Twenty-five patients (25%) had died, and 82% of survivors (n = 61) remained dependent for some care. Four themes emerged from interviews: (1) perceived suffering (physical, emotional, existential) associated with the NGT and stroke-related disability, often exacerbated by lack of preparedness or prognostic awareness; (2) concerns around compromised personhood and value-discordant care; (3) coping with their loved-one's illness and the caregiving role; and (4) barriers to NGT care and skill acquisition. CONCLUSION We identified a high burden of palliative and supportive needs among severe stroke survivors with NGTs and their caregivers suggesting opportunities to improve poststroke care through education, communication, and support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thickened water has been widely used in patients with dysphagia who receive oral feeding, but there is little evidence for tube-feeding patients. OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of thickened water swallow training in tube-feeding and dysphagia patients in the acute and early subacute phases of stroke. METHODS A quasi-experimental study. Hospitalised patients with acute and early subacute stroke who received tube feeding due to dysphagia were recruited from March to December 2021. Patients assigned to the intervention group (n = 23) received thickened water swallow training three times daily until the feeding tube was removed or they were discharged, and patients in the control group (n = 23) received usual care. The main outcomes were duration of tube feeding and rates of weaning at discharge. RESULTS Patients in the intervention group had a shorter tube-feeding duration (p = .046) and a higher rate of weaning at discharge (p = .017) than those in the control group. Significant interaction effects between time and group were detected regarding quality of life except for the swallowing burden dimension. CONCLUSIONS Thickened water swallow training is feasible and effective for stroke patients with tube feeding and can shorten the duration of tube feeding and improve the rates of weaning and quality of life. Healthcare providers in nonrehabilitation units should actively conduct swallowing function intervention training to maximise the potential for acute and early subacute phase rehabilitation.

Abstract
Background Dysphagia is a common complication of stroke that can result in serious consequences. In recent years, more and more papers on post-stroke dysphagia have been published in various journals. However, there is still a lack of bibliometric analysis of post-stroke dysphagia. This study visually analyzes the global research situation of post-stroke dysphagia from 2013 to 2022, aiming to explore the current research status, frontier trends, and research hotspots in this field. Methods Articles and reviews relevant to post-stroke dysphagia were obtained and retrieved from the Web of Science core collection database in the last 10 years (from 2013 to 2022). CiteSpace and Microsoft Excel 2019 were used for bibliographic analysis. Results A total of 1,447 articles were included in the analysis. The number of publications showed an overall upward trend, from 72 in 2013 to 262 in 2022. The most influential authors, institutions, journals, and countries were Hamdy S, University of London, Dysphagia, and the People's Republic of China. An analysis of keywords and the literature indicated that current studies in the field of post-stroke dysphagia focused on dysphagia and aspiration, dysphagia classification, dysphagia rehabilitation, and daily living. Conclusion This bibliometric analysis reveals the latest advancements and emerging trends in the field of post-stroke dysphagia, spanning the years 2013 to 2022. It highlights the paramount importance of conducting large-scale randomized controlled trials examining the efficacy of dysphagia screening protocols and non-invasive intervention techniques in improving the quality of life for these patients. Such research efforts hold significant academic implications for the development of evidence-based treatment strategies in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Community-based exercise programs have demonstrated potential for implementation in older adults; however, it remains imperative to ascertain whether this strategy will yield comparable benefit in stroke patients with dysphagia. METHODS This was a single blinded, randomized, matched pairs clinical trial. Sixty-four stroke patients with dysphagia were recruited from patients who had been discharged the Rehabilitation Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. A single blinded, randomized and controlled trial was conducted. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 32) or the control group (n = 32). Patients in the intervention group received health education followed by swallowing function training in community public spaces for 5 days every week over an eight-week period (60 minutes per day). Patients in the control group received swallowing rehabilitation training, and booster educational information about dysphagia, as well as instructions on how to improve quality of life. Swallowing function (Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA)), depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale-15), and quality of life (Swallowing-Quality of Life, SWAL-QOL) were assessed before and after all the treatment. RESULTS Before treatment, the two groups did not differ statistically. After the intervention, the swallowing function (SSA and FOIS) showed a significant improvement in both groups (All p < 0.001). But there was no significant difference in Functional Oral Intake Scale change between groups (P = 0.479). Compared with the control group, the intervention group had a significant improvement in depressive symptoms (P = 0.002), with a greater reduction in the number of depressed patients (13 to 6).The control group showed no significant improvements in depressive symptoms or a reduction in the number of depressed patients before and after treatment (P = 0.265, 14 to 12). The Swallowing-Quality of Life scores showed significant improvement in both the intervention and control group (P < 0.001). Specifically within Swallowing-Quality of Life sub-domains, greater changes were observed in symptoms and frequency (P < 0.001), communication (P = 0.012), and sleep (P = 0.006) for participants in the intervention group. And the cost-effectiveness of group rehabilitation surpasses that of rehabilitation training. CONCLUSION Community-based group rehabilitation program is more effective than traditional treatment in improving patients' depressive symptoms and quality of life, as well as being more cost-effective.

Enteral tube nutrition for geriatric post-stroke dysphagia evaluation (ENGE) score to evaluate the risk of dysphagia after acute ischemic stroke. J Neurol Sci 2023; 455:122801. [PMID: 37984105 DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2023.122801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is a common complication after stroke. Early PSD prediction is essential for patient stratification for intensive oral intake rehabilitation. We aimed to develop a PSD prediction score using clinical data obtained at admission. METHODS We examined consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke between 2018 and 2019. The dysphagia status 14 days after admission was assessed using the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS). PSD was defined as FOIS 1-3, which represents tube-dependent nutrition. Using multivariable logistic regression analysis, we constructed the Enteral tube Nutrition for Geriatric post-stroke dysphagia Evaluation (ENGE) score. The discriminative performance of the ENGE score was analyzed by receiver operating curve analysis. The reproducibility of the ENGE score was validated using patient data in 2020. RESULTS PSD developed in 84 of 488 patients (median age 78 years; 57% males). The ENGE score ranged from 0 to 6, with 1 point assigned for older age (≥78 years), 1 for high premorbid modified Rankin Scale (mRS) (≥1), 3 for high NIHSS score (≥12), and 1 for low serum albumin (<3.0 mg/dl). The area under the curve (AUC) of the ENGE score for discriminating PSD was 0.88 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.83-0.92), and a score of 3 or more had a higher positive likelihood ratio. In the validation cohort, the AUC of the ENGE score for PSD was 0.85 (95% CI 0.78-0.91), which was similar to the derivation cohort (p = 0.491). CONCLUSIONS The ENGE score predicts severe PSD after acute ischemic stroke with good reproducibility.

Abstract
Background Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is one of the most prevalent stroke sequelae, affecting stroke patients' prognosis, rehabilitation results, and quality of life while posing a significant cost burden. Although studies have been undertaken to characterize the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and risk factors of post-stroke dysphagia, there is still a paucity of research trends and hotspots on this subject. The purpose of this study was to create a visual knowledge map based on bibliometric analysis that identifies research hotspots and predicts future research trends. Methods We searched the Web of Science Core Collection for material on PSD rehabilitation research from its inception until July 27, 2023. We used CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix R software packages to evaluate the annual number of publications, nations, institutions, journals, authors, references, and keywords to describe present research hotspots and prospective research orientations. Results This analysis comprised 1,097 articles from 3,706 institutions, 374 journals, and 239 countries or regions. The United States had the most publications (215 articles), and it is the most influential country on the subject. "Dysphagia" was the most published journal (100 articles) and the most referenced journal (4,606 citations). Highly cited references focused on the pathophysiology and neuroplasticity mechanisms of PSD, therapeutic modalities, rehabilitation tactics, and complications prevention. There was a strong correlation between the terms "validity" and "noninvasive," which were the strongest terms in PSD rehabilitation research. The most significant words in PSD rehabilitation research were "validity" and "noninvasive brain stimulation," which are considered two of the most relevant hotspots in the field. Conclusion We reviewed the research in the field of PSD rehabilitation using bibliometrics to identify research hotspots and cutting-edge trends in the field, primarily including the pathogenesis and neurological plasticity mechanisms of PSD, complications, swallowing screening and assessment methods, and swallowing rehabilitation modalities, and this paper can provide in the follow-up research in the field of PSD rehabilitation. The results of this study can provide insightful data for subsequent studies in the field of PSD rehabilitation.

Abstract
Background Guidelines recommend using percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for dysphagia after 2 weeks of stroke onset. We aimed to study the impact of PEG timing on outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods In this retrospective study of patients with ischemic stroke and PEG between 2014 and 2019, early PEG was defined as PEG tube placed within 14 days of stroke and late PEG after 14 days. Outcomes of 30-day mortality, PEG-related complications, and functional swallow recovery were compared between early and late PEG. Logistic regression model assessed factors associated with PEG timing. Results The median time of PEG tube placement after stroke was 10.9 days. Of the 161 included patients, 60.9% had early PEG, and its associated patient factors were nursing facility discharge (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 3.4, confidence interval (CI): 1.48 - 7.82) and infection (OR: 0.32, CI: 0.139 - 0.178). Late PEG had 3.27 times greater odds of swallowing recovery, but mortality and complications were not significantly different between early and late PEG. Conclusions Skilled nursing facility disposition and lack of infection were predictors of early PEG, constituting the majority of PEG placed for ischemic stroke-related dysphagia. Although better odds of swallowing recovery were seen with late PEG, likely implicating better patient selection, overall, the timing of PEG tube placement did not impact short-term mortality and complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe swallowing and feeding-tube outcomes in patients with high-risk oropharyngeal cancer treated with trimodality therapy (TMT), including transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. METHODS A chart review was conducted on patients with HPV+ OPSCC receiving TMT with TORS at an academic medical center from March 2010 to March 2021. Data collected included demographics, treatment, feeding tube placement, functional oral intake scale (FOIS) scores, and swallowing-language pathology (SLP) evaluations. RESULTS A total of 255 patients met selection criteria (mean age 61 years, 88% male). Following intraoperative nasogastric tube (NG) placement, 31% remained NG tube dependent after 3 weeks. A gastrostomy tube was placed in 19% of patients, and at 1 year after end-of-treatment (EOT), 3.5% overall remained tube-dependent. Mean FOIS scores were 6.9 (SD = 0.3) at pre-operative visit, 2.6 (1.8) at first post-operative visit, and 5.5 (1.5) after EOT. In the subset of patients with follow-up longer than 2 years (n = 118), the mean FOIS was 6.1 (SD = 1.3) at most recent visit. Clinical signs of aspiration/penetration were suspected on SLP evaluation in 18% of patients. These patients were subsequently evaluated with fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and/or barium swallow study, which confirmed signs of aspiration in 2.7% of patients overall. Delayed NG tube removal after 3 weeks was predictive of (1) gastrostomy tube requirement and (2) clinical signs of aspiration on an SLP visit after EOT. CONCLUSIONS Favorable functional and feeding-tube outcomes are demonstrated in patients with HPV-associated OPSCC undergoing TMT. In this single-institution study, we found low rates of long-term feeding tube dependence and high median FOIS following treatment. Review of routine SLP visits provides a detailed and easily accessible means for assessing swallowing function in this cohort. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 133:3013-3020, 2023.

Abstract
Background Dysphagia represents one of the common complications following a stroke, and post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) can lead to aspiration, pneumonia, and malnutrition, thus prolonging hospital stay, escalating medical expenditures, and imposing a substantial economic strain on both patients and society. The utilization of bibliometric analysis offers a quantitative approach for investigating the existing literature and recognizes the current status of the research. However, bibliometric analysis on the subject of PSD remains absent. Consequently, we carried out this study to provide researchers with insights, facilitating their further exploration of PSD. Methods Conducting a bibliometric analysis of articles pertaining to PSD retrieved over the past two decades enables us to acquire the research hotspots and trends in this area. The publications concerning PSD were searched from the Core Collection of Web of Science, spanning the period ranging from 2003 to 2023. Articles or reviews published in English were included in this study. Subsequently, we employed CiteSpace and VOSviewer software to visualize the retrieved articles, thereby identifying the cooperative relationships of authors, institutions, and countries, as well as relevant information about journals and references. Results This study comprised 866 papers in total, and the number of articles published each year shows an overall growth trend. As for the analysis of the authors, Dziewas R. was the most prolific author with 21 articles. The most frequently published institutions, countries, and journals were the University of Manchester, China, and Dysphagia, with 28, 254, and 75 publications, respectively. And the co-cited authors and journals with the highest counts were Martino R and Stroke. According to the analysis of keywords and references, dysphagia screening and assessment, prevention of pneumonia, rehabilitation approaches, and nutritional management of PSD are considered research hotpots. Additionally, future research may focus on the topics of systematic review and meta-analysis, noninvasive brain stimulation, and lesion location. Conclusion Through the bibliometrics analysis of PSD, we can capture the research hotspots and frontiers of PSD, thereby providing inspiration and reference for subsequent studies in this field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate how oropharyngeal muscle strength training affected the safety and performance of swallowing in patients with poststroke oropharyngeal dysphagia. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES Cochrane Central Register of Controlled of Trials, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase databases and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched, for publications in English, from database inception to December 2022. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Studies comparing the effect of oropharyngeal muscle strength training with conventional dysphagia therapy in patients with poststroke. Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) and Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) were assessed as the main outcomes. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data and evaluated the quality of the included studies, with disagreements resolved by another researcher. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Review Manager V.5.3 was employed for the meta-analysis. Random effect models were used for meta-analysis. RESULTS Seven studies with 259 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that oropharyngeal muscle strength training could reduce PAS score compared with conventional dysphagia therapy (mean difference=-0.98, 95% CI -1.34 to -0.62, p<0.0001, I2=28%). The results also showed that oropharyngeal muscle strength training could increase FOIS score (mean difference=1.04, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.54, p<0.0001, I2=0%) and the vertical displacement of the hyoid bone (mean difference=0.20, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.38, p=0.04, I2=0%) compared with conventional dysphagia therapy. CONCLUSION In patients with poststroke oropharyngeal dysphagia, oropharyngeal muscle strength training can improve swallowing safety and performance. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022302471.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Enteral feeding is very common following an acquired brain injury. However, no prognostic models for oral food intake have been developed for subacute rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to develop a prognostic model and online tool, coined "subacute prognosis of oral nutrition" (SPOON), for complete oral intake in tube-fed subjects with acquired brain injury. METHODS The model was developed using routinely gathered clinical data from a cohort of 1233 adult patients who were tube-fed at admission for sub-acute inpatient rehabilitation. Candidate predictors were included based on scientific evidence and their availability in the medical records within the first days following admission. The outcome was time until achieving complete oral food intake without any tube-feeding supplements. Time until complete oral intake was analyzed by discrete time-to-event analysis with logit-link and presented as daily odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS The following predictors of complete oral intake were included in the model: age, diagnosis, cuffed tracheostomy tube, days from injury to admission for rehabilitation, and the Early Functional Abilities (EFA) sum score. Multiple adjusted analyses were performed stratified by cuffed tracheostomy tube status. Some of the strongest predictors of complete oral intake were age 18-40 years, OR 1.99 (95%CI: 1.53; 2.59); 0-2 weeks since injury, OR 3.75 (95%CI: 2.72; 5.16); and EFA 61-100 (slight/no disturbance in function), OR 5.81 (95%CI: 4.47; 7.55). The online prognostic tool SPOON was evaluated in a usability study. Based on feedback from clinicians, the tool was further refined to enable extraction of data for prediction directly from medical records. CONCLUSIONS The objective of SPOON is to complement the planning of rehabilitation initiatives and inform discussions to determine if a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube should be inserted. SPOON is being implemented locally, but external validation based on appropriate data modeling is warranted before further clinical implementation.

Abstract
Dysphagia is a major complication following an acute stroke that affects the majority of patients. Clinically, dysphagia after stroke is associated with increased risk of aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, mortality, and other adverse functional outcomes. Pathophysiologically, dysphagia after stroke is caused by disruption of an extensive cortical and subcortical swallowing network. The screening of patients for dysphagia after stroke should be provided as soon as possible, starting with simple water-swallowing tests at the bedside or more elaborate multi-consistency protocols. Subsequently, a more detailed examination, ideally with instrumental diagnostics such as flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing or video fluoroscopy is indicated in some patients. Emerging diagnostic procedures, technical innovations in assessment tools, and digitalisation will improve diagnostic accuracy in the future. Advances in the diagnosis of dysphagia after stroke will enable management based on individual patterns of dysfunction and predisposing risk factors for complications. Progess in dysphagia rehabilitation are essential to reduce mortality and improve patients' quality of life after a stroke.

[PMID: 37572389 PMCID: PMC10428027 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinsp.2023.100275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS From a clinical point of view, post-stroke patients present difficulties in swallowing management. The purpose of this research was to identify risk factors that were independently related to the maintenance of a severe restriction of oral intake in patients affected by acute ischemic stroke. METHODS The authors conducted a prospective observational cohort study of patients with dysphagia post-acute ischemic stroke who were admitted to an Emergency Room (ER). Demographic and clinical data were collected at ER admission. Swallowing data was based on The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and was collected at two distinct moments: initial swallowing assessment and at the patient outcome. Patients were divided into two groups according to their FOIS level assigned on the last swallowing assessment (at hospital outcome): G1 with severe restriction of oral intake and indication of feeding tube - patients with FOIS levels 1 to 4; G2 without restriction of food consistencies in oral intake - patients with FOIS levels 5 to 7. RESULTS One hundred and six patients were included in our study. Results of the multivariate logistic regression model for the prediction of maintenance of a severe restriction of oral intake at hospital outcome in patients post-acute ischemic stroke indicated that increasing age (p = 0.006), and dysarthria (p = 0.003) were associated with higher chances of presenting severe restriction of oral intake at hospital outcome. CONCLUSIONS Patients with acute ischemic stroke in an Emergency Room may experience non-resolved severe dysphagia, indicating the need to prepare for the care/rehabilitation of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS This study aimed to investigate the associations of pre-existing sarcopenia with swallowing function, oral intake level, and aspiration pneumonia in patients with acute stroke. METHODS This observational study included patients (≥60 years of age) with acute ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage within 7 days of onset who were screened for sarcopenia, malnutrition, and swallowing difficulties in a stroke-care unit within 48 h of admission. Sarcopenia was defined by the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia 2019 as having a low calf circumference, handgrip strength, and appendicular muscle mass index. The primary outcome was impaired oral intake (functional oral intake scale <5 points) at 3, 7, and 14 days after admission, and the secondary outcome was aspiration pneumonia during hospitalization. RESULTS We enrolled 350 patients (median age of 77 years; 63% males) who underwent the aforementioned screening. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 34% of patients, and malnutrition was found in 66% of patients with sarcopenia. When compared with the comparison group (defined as patients with either or both normal calf circumference and handgrip strength), the sarcopenia group had significantly lower tongue pressure and a higher prevalence of dysphagia. Sarcopenia was associated with functional oral intake scale <5 at 7 days (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 4.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.91-11.71); p = 0.002) and 14 days (adjusted OR, 3.93; 95% CI, 1.47-10.53; p = 0.006) and with aspiration pneumonia during hospitalization (adjusted OR, 6.12; 95% CI, 1.63-22.94; p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Acute stroke patients with sarcopenia may have weakness of the swallowing-related muscles which may lead to impaired oral intake and aspiration pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In neurorehabilitation clinical practice, assessment is usually more oriented to evaluate patient's present status, than to plan interventions according to predicted outcomes. Therefore, we conducted an extensive review of current prognostic models available in the literature for recovery prediction of many functions and constructs, after stroke. We reported results in the form of a practical guide for clinicians, with the aim of promoting the culture of early clinical assessment for patient stratification, according to expected outcome. To define a roadmap for clinicians, a stepwise sequence of five actions has been developed, from collecting information of past medical history to the adoption of validated prediction tools. Furthermore, a clinically-oriented organization of available prediction tools for recovery after stroke have been proposed for motor, language, physiological and independency functions. Finally, biomarkers and online resources with prognostic value have been reviewed, to give the most updated state of the art on prediction tools after stroke. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Clinical assessment should be directed both towards the objective evaluation of the present health status, and to the prediction of expected recovery. The use of specific outcome measures with predictive value is recommended to help clinicians with the definition of sound therapeutic goals.

Abstract
Objectives: This study investigated the factors contributing to complete oral intake (COI) in dysphagic stroke patients with enteral feeding tubes in the local clinical setting. Methods: Data of patients with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) or nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding on admission to convalescent rehabilitation wards (CRWs) were extracted from the Kaga Regional Cooperation Clinical Pathway for Stroke database for multiple centers including 19 acute care hospitals and 11 hospitals with CRWs. Patients were divided into two groups based on their status regarding COI or incomplete oral intake (ICOI) at discharge. Logistic regression analysis with forced-entry variables was used to identify factors contributing to COI. Results: On discharge from CRWs, COI and ICOI were observed in 140 and 207 cases, respectively. The COI group was younger, had a higher rate of initial stroke, higher Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) scores, higher Functional Independence Measure (FIM) motor and cognitive scores, higher Body Mass Index (BMI), lower rate of patients with PEG, and shorter stays in acute care wards. Logistic regression analysis with forced entry revealed that younger age; initial stroke; higher FOIS score, FIM cognitive score, and BMI; and shorter stay in the acute care ward contributed to COI. Conclusions: The primary factors contributing to COI in dysphagic stroke patients with enteral feeding tubes were younger age, initial stroke, higher swallowing and cognitive function, good nutritional status, and shorter stay in the acute care ward.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dysphagia is one of the most common complications of acute ischemic stroke, and prediction of dysphagia is crucial for post-stroke treatment. We aimed to identify predictors of dysphagia and swallowing function recovery following ischemic stroke and to investigate dysphagia-associated lesion location. METHODS We prospectively enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke confirmed on diffusion-weighted imaging. All patients received swallowing evaluation within 48 h after admission. Follow-up oral intake ability was measured on 7 and 30 days after stroke onset. Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping was performed to determine locations associated with dysphagia. RESULTS Of 126 patients included in the final analysis, 23 patients (18.3%) were classified as initial dysphagia. The presence of facial palsy (P = 0.008) and larger white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume (P = 0.003) was associated with initial dysphagia. Initial risk of aspiration assessed by Any2 score (P = 0.001) at baseline was identified as independent predictor for dysphagia at day 7. Patients with higher Any2 score (P < 0.001), aphasia (P = 0.013), and larger WMH volume (P = 0.010) were less likely to have a full swallowing function recovery at 1 month. Acute infarcts in right corona radiata and right superior longitudinal fasciculus were correlated with impaired recovery of swallowing ability at 1 month. CONCLUSIONS Initial risk of aspiration was identified as risk factor for short-term and long-term dysphagia. Aphasia and larger WMH volume were revealed to be significant predictors for swallowing function recovery at 1 month. Right corona radiata was identified as an essential brain area for dysphagia.

Abstract
In post-stroke dysphagia, early identification of patients at highest risk of failing swallowing recovery (SR) would be useful to decide which of them should undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. The studies on this subject were numerous but generally based on small statistical samples. In this retrospective study, 1232 patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (73.7 ± 13.0 years, 51% men) were assessed: 593 non-dysphagic, 351 partially dysphagic and 288 totally dysphagic. Among the latter, 45.1% could not recover oral intake. A score to assess the risk of failing SR was obtained from the group with total dysphagia, and further 210 patients with total post-stroke dysphagia were utilized for validation. A regular progression of stroke severity markers, complications and mortality was observed from non-dysphagic, to partially dysphagic, up to totally dysphagic patients. Among the latter, seven variables were independently associated with failure of SR, and formed the "DIsPHAGIc score": cerebral lesion Diameter ≥ 6 cm (+ 1), left frontal Ischemia (- 1), Partial anterior circulation syndrome (- 1), Hypoxia (+ 1), Antiplatelet drug (+ 1), GCS verbal reaction < 4 (+ 1), Internal capsule ischemia (- 1). The area under the ROC curve was 0.79 (95% CI 0.74-0.85). For total scores ≥ 2 there was a high risk of failing SR, with specificity 76.9%, sensitivity 72.1% and accuracy 74.7%. The application of the DIsPHAGIc score to the validation sample provided almost identical results. The evolution of post-stroke dysphagia towards irreversibility can be predicted by a simple, reproducible and robust scoring system based on 7 variables commonly available during hospitalization.

Abstract
Oropharyngeal dysphagia is common post-stroke and can have serious consequences for patients. Understanding dysphagia recovery is critically important to inform prognostication and support patients and professionals with care planning. This systematic review was undertaken to identify clinical predictors of dysphagia recovery post-stroke. Online databases (EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane) were searched for studies reporting longitudinal swallowing recovery in adults post-stroke. Dysphagia recovery was defined as improvement measured on a clinical swallowing scale or upgrade in oral and/or enteral feeding status by the end of the follow-up period. The search strategy returned 6598 studies from which 87 studies went through full-text screening, and 19 studies were included that met the eligibility criteria. Age, airway compromise identified on instrumental assessment, dysphagia severity, bilateral lesions, and stroke severity were identified as predictors of persistent dysphagia and negative recovery in multiple logistic regression analysis. The available literature was predominated by retrospective data, and comparison of outcomes was limited by methodological differences across the studies in terms of the choice of assessment, measure of recovery, and period of follow-up. Future prospective research is warranted with increased representation of haemorrhagic strokes and uniform use of standardized scales of swallowing function.

Abstract
Dysphagia management is a core component of quality stroke care. Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a key role in the management of post-stroke dysphagia. We sought to elicit perceptions, attitudes, and practice patterns regarding post-stroke dysphagia management among SLPs in the United States. We conducted a survey among SLPs registered with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association who indicated that they care for acute stroke patients. A total of 336 participants completed the survey. Over half of the participants (58.6%) indicated that they obtain objective swallow testing in ≥ 60% of their post-stroke dysphagia patients. Almost 1 in 5 SLPs indicated that they are often unable to perform objective dysphagia testing due to limited resources (18.8% indicated resource limitations; 78.9% indicated no resources limitations; 2.4% were unsure). SLPs in hospitals without stroke center certification had higher odds of indicating limited resources compared to SLPs in certified stroke centers (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.11-3.87). Over 75% indicated that percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes after stroke are placed too early. SLPs who obtain objective swallow testing in ≥ 60% of patients had higher odds of indicating that PEG tubes are placed too early (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.13-2.56). While 19.4% indicated that the optimal timing for PEG after stroke is < 7 days after admission, 25.0% indicated that the optimal timing is > 12 days. Almost 35% indicated that health care system pressures influence their recommendations, and 47.6% indicated that ≥ 25% of PEGs could be avoided if patients were given up to 7 more days for swallowing recovery.

Abstract
From a cohort of 36 patients presenting apperceptive tactile agnosia after first cortical ischemic stroke, 14 showed temporary impairment at admission. A previous multi-voxel analysis of the cortical lesions, using as explanatory variable the course of tactile object recognition performance over the recovery period of 9 months, partitioned the cohort into three subgroups. Of the 14 patients constituting two of the subgroups, 7 recovered from their impairment whereas 7 did not. These two subgroups could not be distinguished at admission. The primary aim of the present study is to present two assessments that can do so. The first assessment comprises a pattern of behavioral measures, determined via principal component analysis, encoded in three tests: picking small objects, macrogeometrical discrimination and tactile object recognition. The receiver operating characteristic curve derived from permutation of the behavioral test scores yielded an 80% probability of correct identification of the patient subgroup and an 8% probability for false identification. As done with the permuted scores, the pattern could predict the persistence of affliction of new stroke patients with tactile agnosia. The second predictive assessment extends our previous evaluation of cortical MRI lesion maps to include subcortical regions. Confirming our previous study, the lesions of the persistently impaired subgroup disrupted significantly the anterior arcuatus fasciculus and associated superior longitudinal fasciculus III in the ipsilesional hemisphere, impeding reciprocal information transfer between supramarginal gyrus and both the ventral premotor cortex and Brodmann area 44. Due to the importance of interhemispheric information transfer in tactile agnosia, we performed a supplementary analysis of tactile object recognition scores. It showed that haptic information transfer from the non-affected to the affected hands in the persistent cases partly restored function during the nine months, possibly following restoration of functional interhemispheric haptic information transfer at the border of posterior corpus callosum and splenium. In conclusion, the combined findings of the cortical lesion at subarea PFt of the inferior parietal lobule and the associated subcortical tract lesions permit almost perfect prediction of persistent impairment of tactile object recognition. The study substantiates the need for combined analysis of both cortical lesions and white matter tract disconnections.

Reddy KM, Lee P, Gor PJ, Cheesman A, Al-Hammadi N, Westrich DJ, Taylor J. Timing of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement in post-stroke patients does not impact mortality, complications, or outcomes. World J Gastrointest Pharmacol Ther 2022; 13:77-87. [PMID: 36157266 PMCID: PMC9453443 DOI: 10.4292/wjgpt.v13.i5.77] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2021] [Revised: 01/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tubes are often placed for dysphagia following a stroke in order to maintain sufficient caloric intake. The 2011 ASGE guidelines recommend delaying PEG tube placement for two weeks, as half of patients with dysphagia improve within 2 wk. There are few studies comparing outcomes based on timing of PEG tube placement, and there is increasing demand for early PEG tube placement to meet requirements for timely discharge to rehab and skilled nursing facilities.
AIM To assess the safety of early (≤ 7 d post stroke) vs late (> 7 d post stroke) PEG tube placement and evaluate whether pre-procedural risk factors could predict mortality or complications.
METHODS We performed a retrospective study of patients undergoing PEG tube placement for dysphagia following a stroke at two hospitals in Saint Louis, MO between January 2011 and December 2017. Patients were identified by keyword search of endoscopy reports. Mortality, peri-procedural complication rates, and post-procedural complication rates were compared in both groups. Predictors of morbidity and mortality such as protein-calorie malnutrition, presence of an independent cardiovascular risk equivalent, and presence of Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria or documented infection were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression.
RESULTS 154 patients had a PEG tube placed for dysphagia following a stroke, 92 in the late group and 62 in the early group. There were 32 observed deaths, with 8 occurring within 30 d of the procedure. There was an increase in peri-procedural and post-procedural complications with delayed PEG placement which was not statistically significant. Hospital length of stay was significantly less in patients with early PEG tube placement (12.9 vs 22.34 d, P < 0.001). Protein calorie malnutrition, presence of SIRS criteria and/or documented infection prior to procedure or having a cardiovascular disease risk equivalent did not significantly predict mortality or complications.
CONCLUSION Early PEG tube placement following a stroke did not result in a higher rate of mortality or complications and significantly decreased hospital length of stay. Given similar safety outcomes in both groups, early PEG tube placement should be considered in the appropriate patient to potentially reduce length of hospital stay and incurred costs.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2022; 44:3735-3745. [PMID: 36005151 PMCID: PMC9406641 DOI: 10.3390/cimb44080255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate whether genetic polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of infection, specifically post-stroke aspiration pneumonia. Blood samples were obtained from a total of 206 post-stroke participants (males, n = 136; mean age, 63.8 years). Genotyping was performed for catechol-O-methyltransferase (rs4680, rs165599), dopamine receptors (DRD1; rs4532, DRD2; rs1800497, DRD3; rs6280), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (rs6265), apolipoprotein E (rs429358, rs7412), and the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene (rs4251961). The subjects were stratified into two groups, aged < 65 (young) and ≥ 65 (elderly). Functional parameters and swallowing outcomes were measured at enrollment and at 3 months post-onset. The primary outcome was the incidence of aspiration pneumonia. Analysis of the association between genetic polymorphisms and aspiration pneumonia history showed that a minor C rs429358 allele was associated with the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia in the young group, both in the additive and the dominant models (odds ratio: 4.53; 95% CI: 1.60−12.84, p = 0.004). In the multivariable analysis, the minor C rs429358 allele increased the risk of post-stroke aspiration pneumonia in young stroke patients by 5.35 (95% CI: 1.64−20.88). In contrast, no such association was observed in the elderly group. Apolipoprotein E polymorphism may affect the risk of post-stroke aspiration pneumonia.

Abstract
Enteral nutrition (EN) is a vital component of nutrition around the world. EN allows for delivery of nutrients to those who cannot maintain adequate nutrition by oral intake alone. Common questions regarding EN are when to initiate and in what scenarios it is safe. The answers to these questions are often complex and require an evidence-based approach. The Board of Directors of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) established an Enteral Nutrition Committtee to address the important questions surrounding the indications for EN. Consensus recommendations were established based on eight extremely clinically relevant questions regarding EN indications as deemed by the Enteral Nutrition Committee. These consensus recommendations may act as a guide for clinicians and stakeholders on difficult questions pertaining to indications for EN. This paper was approved by the ASPEN Board of Directors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying dysphagia as a potential complication of sepsis may improve swallowing function and survival while decreasing hospital length of stay. OBJECTIVES Our goal was to determine the frequency of dysphagia in sepsis survivors on the 7th day after admission, as well as their associated factors and outcomes. METHODS This single-centre, retrospective, observational study analysed data from sepsis survivors admitted to Okayama Saiseikai General Hospital from 2018 to 2019. Participants with sepsis were assigned to one of two study groups based on the presence or absence of dysphagia using the criterion of Functional Oral Intake Scale score <5 on the 7th day after admission. We used multivariate logistic regression to determine factors independently associated with dysphagia on the 7th day after admission. Multivariate logistic regression was also used to determine associations between groups and outcomes, including dysphagia on hospital discharge, direct discharge home (discharge of patients directly to their home), and total dependency (Barthel Index score ≤20) on hospital discharge. RESULTS One hundred one patients met the study inclusion criteria, 55 with dysphagia and 46 without dysphagia. Fasting period (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-1.59) and enteral tube feeding (AOR: 8.56, 95% CI: 1.95-37.5) were independently associated with the presence of dysphagia on the 7th day after admission. Dysphagia on the 7th day after admission was associated with dysphagia on hospital discharge (AOR: 46.0, 95%, CI: 7.90-268.3), a lower chance of direct discharge home (AOR: 0.03, 95% CI: 0.01-0.15), and a higher incidence of total dependency (AOR: 9.30, 95% CI: 2.68-32.2). CONCLUSIONS We found that dysphagia was commonly encountered post sepsis. Fasting period and enteral tube feeding were independently associated with dysphagia on the 7th day after admission. Dysphagia on the 7th day after admission was also associated with dysphagia on hospital discharge, nondirect discharge home, and dependency in activities of daily living at the time of hospital discharge.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dysphagia is a common functional disorder after stroke. Most patients post-stroke are incapable of oral feeding, which often leads to complications such as malnutrition, aspiration pneumonia and dehydration that seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Oropharyngeal muscle strength training is a major method of swallowing training, and recent studies have focused on healthy adults, elderly persons, and patients with head and neck cancer or neurodegenerative diseases; but there have been few studies on such training in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. Our study aims to systematically review the safety and performance of oropharyngeal muscle strength training in the treatment of post-stroke dysphagia during oral feeding. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase and ClinicalTrials.gov databases will be systematically searched, and all relevant articles in English from the establishment of the databases to January 2022 will be reviewed. The study will be conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and will be reported in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses guidelines. The primary outcome measures include the Penetration-Aspiration Scale and the Functional Oral Intake Scale. Two authors will independently screen the articles, extract the data and assess the study quality. Any disagreements during this process will be resolved by discussion or by consultation with a third author. Next, quantitative or qualitative, subgroup and sensitivity analyses of the included literature data will be performed as appropriate. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval is not required for this systematic review as no primary data collection will be required. The results of the present study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal in the field of deglutition disorders. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022302471.

Abstract
Dysphagia is a serious stroke complication but lacks effective therapy. We investigated safety and preliminary efficacy of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) paired with swallowing exercises in improving post-stroke dysphagia from an acute unilateral hemispheric infarction (UHI). We conducted a double-blind, early phase-2 randomized controlled trial, in subjects (n = 42) with moderate-severe dysphagia [Penetration and Aspiration Scale (PAS) score ≥ 4], from an acute-subacute UHI. Subjects were randomized to Low-Dose, High-Dose atDCS or Sham stimulation for 5 consecutive days. Primary safety outcomes were incidence of seizures, neurological, motor, or swallowing function deterioration. Primary efficacy outcome was a change in PAS scores at day-5 of intervention. Main secondary outcome was dietary improvement at 1-month, assessed by Functional Oral Intake (FOIS) score. No differences in pre-defined safety outcomes or adjusted mean changes in PAS, FOIS scores, between groups, were observed. Post-hoc analysis demonstrated that 22 /24 subjects in the combined atDCS group had a clinically meaningful dietary improvement (FOIS score ≥ 5) compared to 8 /14 in Sham (p = 0.037, Fisher-exact). atDCS application in the acute-subacute stroke phase is safe but did not decrease risk of aspiration in this early phase trial. The observed dietary improvement is promising and merits further investigation.

Abstract
AIMS The aim was to synthesise and discuss predictors of complete oral feeding resumption after feeding tube placement in stroke patients with dysphagia. DESIGN This was a systematic review, following the PRISMA 2020 checklist. DATA SOURCES Eight databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, CNKI, WanFang and Vip) were searched for eligible studies from inception up to June 2021. REVIEW METHODS The JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis was used to guide this systematic review. Any cross-sectional survey, longitudinal study, cohort study or case-control study that explored the recovery from tube feeding to complete oral feeding in patients with dysphagia after stroke was included. Qualitative studies, review articles, case reports and conference abstracts were excluded. Two reviewers independently screened and appraised the studies. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used for quality assessment. Content analysis was used to categorise factors predicting feeding tube removal in stroke patients with dysphagia. RESULTS This review included a total of 15 studies consisting of 1746 participants, of which 2 were case-control studies and 13 were cohort studies. Four studies were rated as having low risk of bias, and the other 11 had high risk of bias. The factors examined in the studies were categorised into demographic characteristics (age and sex), swallowing function (instrumental assessments and non-instrumental assessments), stroke characteristics (stroke severity, past stroke history and location of the stroke), functional status (cognitive function and physical function) and clinical measures (body mass index, geriatric nutritional risk index, white blood cell count and C-reactive protein level). CONCLUSIONS The major limitation of this review is the failure to identify predictors of different tube feeding types. Although the current evidence is insufficient to support or oppose the predictive effect of any single factor, these factors are still valuable data for clinical staff that provide information that researchers can use in developing prognostic models. Rigorously designed and high-quality research is needed to further explore the predictive value of these factors. REGISTRATION This review was registered prospectively with PROSPERO [CRD42021272552]. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Healthcare providers should strengthen the monitoring of swallowing function in patients with stroke to promote complete oral feeding resumption. As the predictive value of the identified factors is still uncertain, large, well-designed, studies are needed to better clarify the importance of these predictors. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION No patient or public was involved in the design, analysis, preparation or writing of this review.

Predicting Gastrostomy Tube Placement After Intracerebral Hemorrhage: External Validation of the GRAVo Score. Neurocrit Care 2022; 37:506-513. [PMID: 35606561 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-022-01523-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysphagia is a common consequence of intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH). It can lead to enduring impairments of dietary intake and the requirement for feeding via percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) tubes. However, variabilities in the course of swallowing recovery after ICH make it difficult to anticipate the need for PEG placement in an individual patient. A new tool called the GRAVo score was recently developed to predict PEG tube placement after an ICH but has not been externally validated. Our study aims were to externally validate the GRAVo score in a multicenter cohort and reexamine the role of race in predicting PEG placement, given the uncertain biological plausibility for this relationship observed in the derivation cohort. METHODS Patients for this analysis were selected from a previously completed multicenter, randomized, double-blind futility design clinical trial, the Intracerebral Hemorrhage Deferoxamine trial, and underwent a retrospective review of prospectively collected data. The GRAVo scores were computed by using previously established methods using the following variables: Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 12 (2 points), race (1 point for Black), age > 50 years (2 points), and ICH volume > 30 mL (1 point). Association of GRAVo scores with PEG placement were examined by using logistic regression analysis after adjustment for exposure to deferoxamine. Model performance was estimated by using area under the receiving operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Subsequently, a second model was created by excluding scores for race, and the AUROC of both models were compared. RESULTS A total of 291 patients with complete data points served as the study cohort; 38 (13%) underwent PEG placement. The median GRAVo score for patients in the PEG and non-PEG groups were 4 (interquartile range 3-4) versus 2 (interquartile range 2-3), respectively (p < 0.0001). External validation of the GRAVo score yielded an AUROC of 0.7008 (95% confidence interval 0.6036-0.78); the model obtained without assignment of scores for the variable race yielded an AUROC of 0.6958 (95% confidence interval 0.6124-0.7891). The receiver operating characteristic curves from both models demonstrated close overlap. CONCLUSIONS The results of our external validation demonstrate the validity of GRAVo scores for predicting PEG tube placement after an ICH. However, its performance was more modest compared with that of the derivation cohort. Inclusion of the race variable had no measurable effect on model performance. Differences in patient characteristics between these cohorts may have influenced our results. These findings should be taken into consideration when using the GRAVo score to assist clinical decision making on PEG placement after an ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The likelihood of regaining independent walking after stroke influences rehabilitation and hospital discharge planning. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop and internally validate a tool to predict whether and when a patient will walk independently in the first 6 months post-stroke. METHODS Adults with stroke were recruited if they had new lower limb weakness and were unable to walk independently. Clinical assessments were completed one week post-stroke. The primary outcome was time post-stroke by which independent walking (Functional Ambulation Category score ≥ 4) was achieved. Cox hazard regression identified predictors for achieving independent walking by 4, 6, 9, 16, or 26 weeks post-stroke. The cut-off and weighting for each predictor was determined using β-coefficients. Predictors were assigned a score and summed for a final TWIST score. The probability of achieving independent walking at each time point for each TWIST score was calculated. RESULTS We included 93 participants (36 women, median age 71 years). Age < 80 years, knee extension strength Medical Research Council grade ≥ 3/5, and Berg Balance Test < 6, 6 to 15, or ≥ 16/56, predicted independent walking and were combined to form the TWIST prediction tool. The TWIST prediction tool was at least 83% accurate for all time points. CONCLUSIONS The TWIST tool combines routine bedside tests at one week post-stroke to accurately predict the probability of an individual patient achieving independent walking by 4, 6, 9, 16, or 26 weeks post-stroke. If externally validated, the TWIST prediction tool may benefit patients and clinicians by informing rehabilitation decisions and discharge planning.

Abstract
Purpose Post-stroke dysphagia is an underdiagnosed but relevant complication, associated with worse outcome, dependency and quality of life of stroke survivors. Detailed mechanisms of post-stroke dysphagia are not very well understood, but established therapeutic concepts are needed. Different interventional studies have been published dealing with post-stroke dysphagia. This systematic review wants to collect and give an overview over the published evidence. Methods PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL were searched for relevant interventional studies on post-stroke dysphagia in the (sub-)acute setting (within 3 months of stroke onset). The search has been filtered for randomized trials with an inactive control and the relevant data extracted. Results After initially finding 2,863 trials, finally 41 trials have been included. Seven different therapeutic concepts have been evaluated (Acupuncture, behavioral/physical therapy, drug therapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, pharyngeal electrical stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation). Studies of all modalities have shown some effect on post-stroke dysphagia with several studies raising concerns about the potential bias. Conclusion The amount and quality of studies are not enough to suggest certain therapies. Some therapeutical concepts (intensive physical therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, drug therapy) seem to be good potential therapeutic options, but further research is needed.

Association between timing of speech and language therapy initiation and outcomes among post-extubation dysphagia patients: a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Crit Care 2022; 26:98. [PMID: 35395802 PMCID: PMC8991938 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-022-03974-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Post-extubation dysphagia (PED) is recognized as a common complication in the intensive care unit (ICU). Speech and language therapy (SLT) can potentially help improve PED; however, the impact of the timing of SLT initiation on persistent PED has not been well investigated. This study aimed to examine the timing of SLT initiation and its effect on patient outcomes after extubation in the ICU. Methods We conducted this multicenter, retrospective, cohort study, collecting data from eight ICUs in Japan. Patients aged ≥ 20 years with orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation for longer than 48 h, and those who received SLT due to PED, defined as patients with modified water swallowing test scores of 3 or lower, were included. The primary outcome was dysphagia at hospital discharge, defined as functional oral intake scale score < 5 or death after extubation. Secondary outcomes included dysphagia or death at the seventh, 14th, or 28th day after extubation, aspiration pneumonia, and in-hospital mortality. Associations between the timing of SLT initiation and outcomes were determined using multivariable logistic regression. Results A total of 272 patients were included. Of them, 82 (30.1%) patients exhibited dysphagia or death at hospital discharge, and their time spans from extubation to SLT initiation were 1.0 days. The primary outcome revealed that every day of delay in SLT initiation post-extubation was associated with dysphagia or death at hospital discharge (adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.09; 95% CI, 1.02–1.18). Similarly, secondary outcomes showed associations between this per day delay in SLT initiation and dysphagia or death at the seventh day (AOR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.05–1.55), 14th day (AOR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.13–1.58), or 28th day (AOR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.07–1.36) after extubation and occurrence of aspiration pneumonia (AOR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.02–1.17), while per day delay in post-extubation SLT initiation did not affect in-hospital mortality (AOR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.97–1.12). Conclusions Delayed initiation of SLT in PED patients was associated with persistent dysphagia or death. Early initiation of SLT may prevent this complication post-extubation. A randomized controlled study is needed to validate these results. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13054-022-03974-6.

Abstract
Stroke may lead to unilateral or bilateral CBT changes regardless of dysphagia. Poor fractional anisotropy of the unaffected sides relates to limited recovery. Swallowing recovery may depend on the integrity of the unaffected CBT. Bi-hemispheric reorganization of the CBT is associated with swallowing recovery.

Abstract
Neurologic manifestations associated with a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) diagnosis are common and often occur in severe and critically ill patients. In these patients, the neurologic symptoms are confounded by critical care conditions, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients with dual diagnoses of COVID‐19 and neurologic changes such as myopathy, polyneuropathy, and stroke are likely at a higher risk of experiencing deficits with swallowing, communication, and/or cognition. Speech‐language pathologists are an integral part of both the critical care and neurologic disorders multi‐disciplinary teams, offering valuable contributions in the evaluation, treatment, and management of these areas. Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) who require mechanical ventilation often experience difficulty with communication and benefit from early speech‐language pathology intervention to identify the most efficient communication methods with the medical team and caregivers. Moreover, patients with neurologic manifestations may present with cognitive‐linguistic impairments such as aphasia, thereby increasing the need for communication‐based interventions. Difficulties with voice and swallowing after extubation are common, often requiring frequent treatment sessions, possibly persisting beyond ICU discharge. After leaving the ICU, patients with COVID‐19 often experience physical, cognitive, and mental health impairments collectively called post‐intensive care syndrome. This is often a lengthy road as they progress toward full recovery, requiring continued speech‐language pathology treatment after hospital discharge, capitalizing on the principles of neuroplasticity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is recommended for long-term enteral nutrition. However, long-term nasogastric (NGT) feeding is still commonplace in China. We surveyed Chinese clinicians' opinions toward PEG feeding in order to identify the potential barriers to acceptancy of PEG feeding. METHODS A self-reported questionnaire was developed and distributed to 600 doctors. Five-point Likert scales were used for most responses. RESULTS Of 525 respondents, the mainly nutritional support method was NGT while PEG was less used. Doctors working in the tertiary class A hospitals and radiotherapy department were more likely to choose PEG feeding (p = 0.000). Overall, 241 (46%) participants did not know PEG and 284 (54%) have different understanding degree of PEG. Age (p = 0.002), working life (p = 0.044) and professionalism (p = 0.005) were significantly related to the understanding of PEG. Levels of agreement was high (score of 3.47) for using PEG in patients with prolonged stroke-associated dysphagia. There was high agreement level in the statement that PEG was unnecessary when NGT could sustain the basic needs of patients, though better outcome can be predicted with PEG feeding. The highest scoring factor (score of 3.91) that influenced clinicians' choice of PEG was resistance from patients and families and the second one was the poor cooperation among departments (score of 3.80). CONCLUSIONS Doctors' insufficient knowledge of PEG feeding, resistance from patients and families, poor cooperation among departments, all these factors leading physicians to prefer more conservative treatment to avoid disputes rather than better ones.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In many cases, swallowing function is impaired after the onset of stroke and gradually improves. However, delayed dysphagia has been reported in some post-stroke patients. Recently, several studies have reported that low muscle strength and decreased muscle mass cause dysphagia. This study aimed to investigate whether these conditions are associated with delayed dysphagia after stroke. DESIGN A multicenter prospective observational cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Participants included 165 patients with post-stroke dysphagia (mean age 79.1 ± 8.0 years, 53.3% women) admitted to rehabilitation wards for post-stroke rehabilitation. METHODS Swallowing function was assessed using the Functional Oral Intake Scale. Delayed dysphagia was defined as dysphagia that occurred more than 7 days after stroke onset. We used logistic regression to examine the independent association between low muscle strength and decreased muscle mass and delayed dysphagia development. Furthermore, we examined the relationship between improvement in dysphagia and delayed dysphagia. RESULTS Delayed dysphagia was observed in 18 (10.9%) patients. The combination of severely low muscle strength and decreased muscle mass was independently associated with the development of delayed dysphagia (adjusted odds ratio: 4.423, 95% confidence interval: 1.400-13.974, P = .011). Delayed dysphagia had an adverse effect on the improvement of dysphagia during in-hospital rehabilitation (adjusted odds ratio: 0.278, 95% confidence interval: 0.078-0.986, P = .047). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The development of delayed dysphagia was influenced by a combination of severely low muscle strength and decreased muscle mass. Furthermore, delayed dysphagia adversely affects the improvement of dysphagia in patients with stroke and needs to be identified early. Identifying delayed dysphagia using the methods proposed in this study and incorporating early intervention may prevent or delay dependency conditions in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the incidence of dysphagia after ischemic stroke and determine factors affecting the presence of dysphagia. DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. This was an interim analysis of a prospective multicenter Korean stroke cohort. SETTING Acute care university hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Patients (N=6000) with first-ever acute ischemic stroke. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of dysphagia confirmed at 7 days after onset using the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association National Outcomes Measurement System (ASHA-NOMS) scale, which was determined after conducting screening or standardized tests. INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Age at stroke onset, body mass index (BMI), premorbid modified Rankin Scale (mRS), brainstem lesions, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), post-stroke mRS, and ASHA-NOMS swallowing level at post-stroke day 7 were evaluated. RESULTS Among ischemic stroke patients, 32.3% (N=1940) had dysphagia at 7 days after stroke onset. At discharge, 80.5% (N=1561) still had dysphagia. The prediction model for the presence of dysphagia identified age at onset, underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), premorbid mRS, brainstem lesions, and NIHSS as independent predictors. The odds ratio (OR) for the presence of dysphagia significantly increased with underweight (OR [95% confidence interval]: 1.6684 [1.27-2.20]), increased age at onset (1.0318 [1.03-1.04]), premorbid mRS (1.1832 [1.13-1.24]), brainstem lesions (1.6494 [1.39-1.96]), and NIHSS (1.2073 [1.19-1.23]). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of dysphagia after ischemic stroke was 32.3%. The prediction model for the presence of dysphagia identified age, low BMI, premorbid disabilities, brainstem lesions, and NIHSS as predictive factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged dysphagia is an important stroke-related complication that imposes a substantial burden on patients and families. However, simple scoring tool to predict prolonged dysphagia is not existing. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study used data from April 2010 to March 2016. Adult patients with first-ever stroke were included. The outcome was swallowing function at discharge from the subacute care hospital to the patient's home. We collected the following factors obtained at discharge from the University of Fukui Hospital: age, sex, type of stroke, comorbidities, smoking status, alcohol use, denture use, functional dependency in daily living before admission, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (NIHSS) at admission, and Functional Independence Measure(FIM). Data were divided into a training set (70%) and test set (30%). Lasso and logistic regression were used for feature selection, a scoring system was then developed, and its prediction performance evaluated. RESULTS This study enrolled 462 patients with acute stroke. Using lasso and logistic regression, three variables (functional dependency before admission, Functional Independence Measure [FIM]-cognitive and FIM-motor scores at transfer) remained statistically significant predictors of prolonged dysphagia. Risk scores were categorized as low risk (0-2), moderate risk (3-4), and high risk (5-7), with dysphagia rates of 0%-1%, 13%-29%, and 50%-100%, respectively. A newly developed score ≥3 was the optimal cutoff for identifying patients with the potential risk of prolonged dysphagia (C-statistics, 0.92 in the test set). CONCLUSION The developed scoring system is simple and has a high performance in predicting prolonged dysphagia after acute stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, variables predicting the recovery of dysphagia in patients after dysphagic stroke have not been well defined. However, despite the difficulties in predicting and understanding the dysphagia recovery trajectory, its significance for stroke care cannot be understated. This study aims to identify the factors for functional swallowing recovery and develop nomograms that predict dysphagia recovery after stroke. METHODS The demographic, neurological, and swallowing characteristics were compared between patients who recovered from dysphagia and those who did not. Then, the factors with P <.1 through comparison were enrolled in the multivariable logistic regression analysis to build a prediction model. A nomogram was also built to provide a quantitative tool. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of the prediction model were assessed by using the C index, calibration plot, and decision curve analysis. RESULTS Predictors in the early-phase (T7) prediction nomogram included age, Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NHISS), hemispheric stroke, and brainstem stroke on admission. In the middle phase (T14), predictors included age, FOIS, and NHISS on admission. In the late phase (T30), predictors included age, FOIS, NHISS, bilateral stroke, and body mass index on admission. The C index for the day 7, day 14, and day 30 prediction nomograms were 0.847 (95% CI, 0.804-0.884), 0.817 (95% CI, 0.772-0.857), and 0.786 (95% CI, 0.739-0.829). CONCLUSION These novel nomograms predicting dysphagia recovery after ischemic stroke are discriminative and well calibrated and could be used to guide enteral nutrition decision making, rehabilitation plans, and individualized care.

Abstract
ESGE recommends considering the following indications for enteral tube insertion: (i) clinical conditions that make oral intake impossible (neurological conditions, obstructive causes); (ii) acute and/or chronic diseases that result in a catabolic state where oral intake becomes insufficient; and (iii) chronic small-bowel obstruction requiring a decompression gastrostomy.Strong recommendation, low quality evidence.ESGE recommends the use of temporary feeding tubes placed through a natural orifice (either nostril) in patients expected to require enteral nutrition (EN) for less than 4 weeks. If it is anticipated that EN will be required for more than 4 weeks, percutaneous access should be considered, depending on the clinical setting.Strong recommendation, low quality evidence.ESGE recommends the gastric route as the primary option in patients in need of EN support. Only in patients with altered/unfavorable gastric anatomy (e. g. after previous surgery), impaired gastric emptying, intolerance to gastric feeding, or with a high risk of aspiration, should the jejunal route be chosen.Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence.ESGE suggests that recent gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding due to peptic ulcer disease with risk of rebleeding should be considered to be a relative contraindication to percutaneous enteral access procedures, as should hemodynamic or respiratory instability.Weak recommendation, low quality evidence.ESGE suggests that the presence of ascites and ventriculoperitoneal shunts should be considered to be additional risk factors for infection and, therefore, further preventive precautions must be taken in these cases.Weak recommendation, low quality evidence.ESGE recommends that percutaneous tube placement (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy [PEG], percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with jejunal extension [PEG-J], or direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy [D-PEJ]) should be considered to be a procedure with high hemorrhagic risk, and that in order to reduce this risk, specific guidelines for antiplatelet or anticoagulant use should be followed strictly.Strong recommendation, low quality evidence.ESGE recommends refraining from PEG placement in patients with advanced dementia.Strong recommendation, low quality evidence.ESGE recommends refraining from PEG placement in patients with a life expectancy shorter than 30 days.Strong recommendation, low quality evidence*.

[PMID: 32776402 DOI: 10.1111/nmo.13953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2020] [Revised: 06/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest that specific genes may predispose some to increased risk of dysphagia in the geriatric population, but whether these genes may affect swallowing recovery after a stroke is unknown. This study investigated whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), catechol-O-methyl transferase, apolipoprotein E, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, and dopamine, which have been linked to swallowing, could adversely affect the prognosis of post-stroke dysphagia. METHODS In this study, 218 subjects with confirmed post-stroke dysphagia were enrolled. The primary endpoint was failed recovery from nil per mouth (NPM) status with the first 3 months post-stroke. KEY RESULTS The Val/Val group from the rs6265, BDNF, showed higher score changes on the Functional Oral Intake Scale at 1 month. The proportion of patients with recovery from NPM status within the first 1 month was 60.8% in the Val/Val group, which was statistically higher than those in the Met allele groups (38.1%, P = .017). At 3 months, the BDNF rs6265 showed significant group differences in Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile© score changes with the Val/Val allele leading to greater improvement. However, no single SNP was associated with increased risk of poor recovery with persistence of NPM at 3 months post-stroke. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES Those with the dominant Val/Val phenotype of BDNF manifested with faster and greater improvement than the Met-phenotypes. Based on our results, the BDNF Val allele may play a positive role with faster score improvement and rapid recovery from NPM than the Met allele.
