Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the relationship of swallowing experience to frailty and nutrition in old stroke inpatients. Methods:From March to July, 2019, 174 stroke inpatients aged above 60 were investigated with Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI), FRAIL Scale and Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF). The correlation of DHI score to scores of FRAIL Scale and MNA-SF was analyzed with Pearson correaltion analysis. Multiple regression was analyzed using the scores of dimensions and total score of DHI as dependent variables, and the scores of FRAIL Scale and MNA-SF as independent variables. Results:The inpatients aged (76.16±9.908) years. The DHI score was (50.34±28.325), in which the body score was (17.68±10.254), the function score was (20.31±11.085) and the emotion score was (12.36±9.193). The FRAIL Scale score was (3.16±1.301), and the MNA-SF score was (8.95±2.529). The DHI scores positively correlated with the FRAIL Scale score (r = 0.575, P < 0.001) and negatively correlated with the MNA-SF score (r = -0.544, P < 0.001). The scores of FRAIL Scale and MNA-SF explained the 34.4% of variable for body, 38.7% for function, 36.1% for emotion and 42.4% for DHI total score. Conclusion:Improving the frailty and nutrition may reduce the poor swallowing experience for old stroke inpatients.
