Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of food intake management based on swallowing safety assessment in elderly patients with frailty.Methods:From April 2020 to March 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 126 elderly patients with frailty in the Department of Geriatrics, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, as the research object. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into the observation group and the control group, with 63 cases in each group. The control group implemented routine food intake management, and the observation group carried out food intake management based on swallowing safety assessment for a period of 12 weeks. The nutritional indicators, incidence of aspiration, quality of life and frailty status of the two groups of patients were compared.Results:After the intervention, the hemoglobin, serum total protein, serum albumin levels and the Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and higher than this group before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The incidence of aspiration in the observation group and the control group were 11.11% (7/63) and 33.33% (21/63) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Food intake management based on swallowing safety assessment can effectively improve the nutritional status and quality of life of elderly patients with frailty, and reduce the incidence of aspiration.
