The study aims to identify factors associated with dysphagia in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Observational study design on patients with TBI
Assessment of cognitive status and physical function
Analysis of complications related to immobility
Evaluation of temporal lobe hematomas
Identification of impaired cognitive status as a key factor for dysphagia
Link between poor physical function and delayed oral intake
Mobility issues contribute to complications associated with dysphagia
Temporal lobe hematomas were found to be significantly associated with dysphagia
Abstract
Impaired cognitive status, poor physical function, immobility-related complications, and temporal lobe hematomas were key factors associated with dysphagia and delayed oral intake in individuals with TBI.
