Poisson regression analysis revealed that refusal of oral care (incidence rate ratio (IRR): 7.28), tongue coating (IRR: 4.21), and unclear articulation of /ka/ (IRR: 5.79) were significant predictors of swallowing function decline.

Moreover, implementing targeted oral care interventions, including person-centered care and regular tongue cleaning, may improve the outcomes in this vulnerable population.
