The aim of this research was to develop a dysphagia screening measure and evaluate the prevalence of dysphagia and its clinical manifestation in different in age population groups.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The dysphagia screening questionnaire had the stages of validation - translation and back translation, a review of the translation and back translation committee, pre-test study (36 persons) with monolingual individuals and the test re-test study (67 subjects included).

The case - control study groups were tested using dysphagia screening questionnaire and clinical screening - water drinking test. Barthel index and nutrition questionnaire were used to identify the nutritional and functional state. M. D. Anderson dysphagia inventory questionnaire, sf-12 questionnaire were used to assess dysphagia effects on the quality of life.

The research group consisted of two subgroups - 171 nursing home residents from 3 different nursing homes and 82 outpatients of the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences. The control group consisted of randomly selected 40 community-dwelling elderly healthy individuals.

Research group participants

Research group consisted of 171 elderly nursing home residents and 82 outpatients of the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences.

The participants were given the dysphagia screening questionnaire, consisted of 16 questions and the several sips of water to drink (clinical water drinking test for dysphagia screening).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Water drinking test

Intervention Type OTHER

Patient takes a sip of water about 60-70 ml. We assess: coughing, choking, voice changes.

Intervention Type OTHER

Lithuanian version of the questionnaire consists of 16 questions. Interpretation of dysphagia screening questionnaire: advanced symptom - 2 points, moderate intensity symptom - 1 point, no symptom - 0 point. At least one advanced symptom means - dysphagia. Higher score represents stronger dysphagia intensity. The maximum score is 32 points.
