Abstract:
Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of dysphagia in patients after re-cent small subcortical infarction(RSSI).Methods A total of 188 RSSI patients admitted to our department from May 2018 to May 2024 were enrolled,and according to Gugging swallowing screen(GUSS),they were divided into dysphagia group(GUSS score≤19,n=51)and non-dysphagia group(the score=20,n=137).The clinical manifestations and imaging data were com-pared between the two groups.Results When compared with the non-dysphagia group,the dys-phagia group had significantly older age,larger proportion of dysarthria,higher NIHSS and mRS scores,larger lesion diameter,higher incidence of pontine infarction,and higher scores of periven-tricular and deep white matter hyperintensities,but lower scores of mini-mental state examination and Montreal cognitive assessment(P<0.05,P<0.01).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that age,dysarthria,NIHSS score,lesion diameter,and pontine infarction were risk factors for dysphagia in RSSI patients(OR=1.203,95%CI:1.070-1.352;OR=34.464,95%CI:5.013-236.942;OR=4.579,95%CI:2.180-9.617;OR=0.623,95%CI:0.463-0.838;OR=0.020,95%CI:0.002-0.191,P<0.01).Conclusion For RSSI patients,especially those with older age,larger lesion diameter,dysarthria,severe neurological deficits,and pontine infarction,clinicians should be alert to the occurrence of dysphagia in order to avoid serious complications.
