Implication

Cohort study finds clinical indicators for dysphagia in acute ischemic stroke patients, suggesting enhanced safety in feeding.

Key Points

  • To identify clinical indicators that prioritize swallowing assessments in acute ischemic stroke patients.
  • Prospective cohort study of 134 post-acute ischemic stroke patients
  • Patients assessed in emergency room and classified into two groups
  • Swallowing function evaluated using DREP and ASHA-NOMS scales
  • Statistical analyses included t-tests, Chi-squared test, and Pearson's correlation
  • Older age and higher NIHSS scores were associated with increased dysphagia risk
  • Coughing during the water swallow test predicted aspiration risk
  • Key indicators include age ≥ 69 and NIHSS score ≥ 9
