Narrative review demonstrates increased mortality and variable swallowing recovery in myopathy patients with dysphagia, highlighting the need for early risk stratification.

Key Points

To review the prognostic impact of dysphagia on survival and swallowing function among patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
Conducted a narrative review of literature indexed in PubMed between January 2000 and April 2026 focusing on dysphagia in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
Dysphagia is associated with higher mortality, predominantly caused by aspiration-related complications and overall disease severity, with cancer compounding risk in dermatomyositis.
Swallowing outcomes vary widely: some patients improve with immunosuppression or intravenous immunoglobulin, whereas others experience chronic or worsening impairment, particularly in inclusion body myositis.
Key prognostic determinants include patient age, myopathy subtype, autoantibody status, and baseline swallowing impairment severity.
