Abstract
Background
Dysphagia in older inpatients prolongs hospitalisation and increases pneumonia-related medical costs. In acute care hospitals, the prompt evaluation of oral intake potential is essential.
Objective
Early identification of patients with difficulty resuming oral intake and appropriate interventions, including alternative nutritional support, is crucial for preventing malnutrition and promoting functional recovery. This study aimed to identify the predictors of oral intake resumption at discharge in older inpatients by assessing swallowing function using the videoendoscopic Hyodo score and nutritional status using the Mini Nutritional Assessment–Short Form (MNA-SF) score.
Methods
This retrospective study included 114 older patients (mean age 77.9 ± 7.0 years) with a Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) of 1 who underwent videoendoscopic evaluation between April 2020 and March 2022. Patients were classified into an oral intake group (FOIS ≥ 4 at discharge) or a non-oral intake group (FOIS < 4). Demographic, clinical, nutritional and swallowing-related variables were compared. Logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess predictive performance.
Results
In the logistic regression analysis, the MNA-SF score (odds ratio [OR] = 1.29, p = 0.003) and Hyodo score (OR = 0.84, p = 0.049) were independent predictors. Combined Hyodo and MNA-SF score, ROC analysis showed a sensitivity of 0.81, specificity of 0.61, and an area under the curve of 0.75 (95% confidence interval, 0.65–0.82).
Conclusion
Hyodo and MNA-SF scores can predict oral intake recovery at discharge in older inpatients, and a predictive model combining both is useful.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function.
Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology.
The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
