Relationship between oral status, swallowing function, and nutritional risk in older people with and without Parkinson's disease. / Relação entre estado oral, função de deglutição e risco nutricional entre idosos com e sem doença de Parkinson.

PURPOSE: To compare oral status, swallowing function (through instrumental and SLH assessment), and nutritional risk between dysphagic individuals with and without Parkinson's disease. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional retrospective study based on data collected from medical records. It included 54 dysphagic older adults, divided into two groups according to the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. The study collected data on the speech-language-hearing assessment of postural control, tongue mobility and strength, maximum phonation time (MPT), and cough efficiency. Oral status was assessed using the number of teeth and the Eichner Index. The level of oral intake and pharyngeal signs of dysphagia were analyzed with four food consistencies, according to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative classification, using fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, for comparison between groups. The severity of pharyngeal residues was analyzed and classified with the Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale, and the nutritional risk was screened with the Malnutrition Screening Tool. RESULTS: The group of older adults with Parkinson's disease was significantly different from the other group in that they had fewer teeth, unstable postural control, reduced tongue strength, reduced MPT, weak spontaneous coughing, pharyngeal signs, less oral intake, and nutritional risk. CONCLUSION: Dysphagic older people with Parkinson's disease had different oral status, swallowing function, and nutritional risk from those without the diagnosis.

OBJETIVO: Comparar o estado oral, a função de deglutição por meio da avaliação instrumental, fonoaudiológica e do risco nutricional entre indivíduos disfágicos com e sem doença de Parkinson. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo transversal e retrospectivo com base na coleta de dados dos prontuários. Foram incluídos 54 idosos disfágicos divididos em dois grupos, de acordo com a presença do diagnóstico de doença de Parkinson. Foram coletados dados com relação à avaliação fonoaudiológica de controle postural, mobilidade e força de língua, Tempo Máximo de Fonação (TMF) e eficiência da tosse. O estado oral foi avaliado por meio do número de dentes e o Índice de Eichner. Foram analisados o nível de ingestão oral e os sinais faríngeos de disfagia em quatro consistências alimentares, de acordo com a classificação International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI), por meio da videoendoscopia da deglutição, para comparação entre os grupos. Para análise e classificação da gravidade dos resíduos faríngeos, foi utilizado o Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale (YPRSRS), enquanto que, para rastrear o risco nutricional foi utilizado o Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST). RESULTADOS: O grupo de idosos com doença de Parkinson apresentou diferença significativa em menor número de dentes, controle postural instável, força de língua reduzida, TMF reduzido, tosse espontânea fraca, sinais faríngeos, nível de ingestão oral menor e em risco nutricional, em comparação ao outro grupo. CONCLUSÃO: Os idosos disfágicos com doença de Parkinson apresentaram diferenças no estado oral, na função de deglutição e no risco nutricional em comparação àqueles sem o diagnóstico.

Relationship between mastication and malnutrition in community-dwelling older adults: a meta-analysis.

PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between mastication and malnutrition in community-dwelling older adults. RESEARCH STRATEGIES: To establish the eligibility criteria, the acronym PECOS was used: Population: non-institutionalized older adults; Exposure: older adults with malnutrition; Control: older adults without malnutrition; Outcome: masticatory problems in malnourished older adults; Study types: observational studies. SELECTION CRITERIA: It selected studies assessing malnutrition and mastication difficulties in non-institutionalized adults over 60 years old, of both sexes. Mastication and malnutrition were evaluated with questionnaires on self-reported symptoms and clinical and instrumental assessments. There were no restrictions on language, year of publication, or ethnicity. DATA ANALYSIS: The included studies were evaluated for methodological quality with the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for cross-sectional studies. For the cross-sectional studies included, the odds ratio (OR) was calculated with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: After searching the databases, 692 references were retrieved, with three studies selected for quantitative and qualitative analysis. The values obtained in the meta-analysis for association show that malnutrition and mastication difficulties were 2.21 times as likely to occur (OR = 2.21; 95%CI = 0.93 - 5.26; I2 = 94%) as individuals without malnutrition (p < 0.001). The assessment of the risk of bias presented a high-risk, a moderate-risk, and a low-risk study. The certainty of evidence was rated very low with the GRADE tool. CONCLUSION: Individuals at risk of malnutrition are 2.21 times as likely to have mastication difficulties.

Disfagia orofaríngea na malformação de Chiari tipo I: série de casos clínicos / Oropharyngeal dysphagia in type I Chiari malformation: a clinical case series

RESUMO A malformação de Chiari tipo I é uma condição geralmente congênita de herniação das tonsilas cerebelares abaixo do forame magno, que pode levar à compressão das estruturas próximas da fossa craniana posterior ou à obstrução do fluxo do líquido cefalorraquidiano ventril. O tipo I, apesar de raro, é o mais comumente encontrado na população. Este estudo teve como objetivo relatar os achados da videoendoscopia da deglutição, avaliação fonoaudiológica, nível de ingestão oral, risco nutricional e o planejamento terapêutico em três casos de malformação de Chiari tipo I na fase adulta. Foram coletados dados com relação à avaliação fonoaudiológica de mobilidade e força de língua, Tempo Máximo de Fonação, eficiência da tosse e o Índice de Eichner. Foram analisados o nível de ingestão oral e os sinais faríngeos de disfagia em quatro consistências alimentares, de acordo com a classificação da International Dysphagia Diet Standartisation Initiative), por meio da videoendoscopia da deglutição. Para análise e classificação dos resíduos faríngeos, foi utilizado o Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale, enquanto que, para rastrear o risco nutricional, foi utilizado o Malnutrition Screening Tool. Observou-se redução mobilidade e força de língua e no Tempo Máximo de Fonação, enquanto que os sinais faríngeos variaram entre os casos, com presença de fechamento glótico incompleto, escape oral posterior, deglutições múltiplas, resíduos faríngeos e penetração laríngea.

ABSTRACT Type I Chiari malformation (MCI) is a generally congenital condition of herniation of the cerebellar tonsils below the foramen magnum, which can lead to compression of structures close to the posterior cranial fossa or obstruction of the flow of ventral cerebrospinal fluid. Type I, although rare, is the most commonly found in the population. This study aimed to report the findings of video endoscopy of swallowing, speech assessment, level of oral intake, nutritional risk and therapeutic planning in three cases of Type I Chiari malformation. Data were collected regarding the assessment of mobility and strength of tongue, Maximum Phonation Time (MPT), cough efficiency and the Eichner Index. The level of oral intake and pharyngeal signs of dysphagia were analyzed in four food consistencies, according to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) classification, using swallowing video endoscopy. For analysis and classification of pharyngeal residues, the Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale (YPRSRS) was used, while the Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) was used to track nutritional risk. Reduced tongue mobility and strength and reduced MPT were observed, while pharyngeal signs varied between cases, with the presence of incomplete glottic closure, posterior oral escape, multiple swallows, pharyngeal residues and laryngeal penetration.

Foram analisados o tempo de transição alimentar e o método de alimentação na alta hospitalar de ambos os grupos. Resultados Houve diferença significativa no tempo de transição alimentar e no método de alimentação na alta hospitalar entre os grupos. Os recém-nascidos pré-termo com displasia broncopulmonar apresentaram média de 18,03 (± 5,5) dias de transição e saíram em uso de mamadeira. Conclusão O grupo com displasia broncopulmonar necessitou de maior tempo de transição alimentar e teve menor frequência de aleitamento materno exclusivo, em relação ao grupo sem o diagnóstico.

ABSTRACT Purpose To compare the time of food transition and the form of oral feeding at hospital discharge, between premature newborns diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and premature newborns without the diagnosis. Methods Cross-sectional, retrospective study based on data collection from medical records. Data were collected from 78 newborns, in a reference maternity hospital, in which the sample was stratified into two groups according to the presence or absence of the diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The time of food transition and the feeding method at hospital discharge were analyzed for both groups. Results There was a significant difference in the time of food transition and in the feeding method at hospital discharge between the groups. Preterm newborns with bronchopulmonary dysplasia had an average of 18.03 (± 5.5) transition days and left using a bottle. Conclusion The group with bronchopulmonary dysplasia required a longer time of food transition and fewer ( of its ) infants had exclusive breastfeeding compared to the group without the diagnosis.
