Dysphagia after stroke

Objective: to determine prognostic characteristics of the restoration of swallowing function in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) of various pathogenetic subtypes.Material and methods. The study included 110 patients (64 men and 46 women aged 44–89 years) with dysphagia in the acute period of IS. The SSS-TOAST criteria were used to diagnose the pathogenetic subtype, and the MASA scale was used to determine the presence and severity of dysphagia. To predict the probability of switching to self-feeding depending on the severity of dysphagia, a non-linear regression method was used using the least squares method.Results. Patients with cardioembolic stroke subtype were initially characterized by a greater degree of dysphagia in comparison with patients with atherothrombotic stroke subtype in groups comparable in severity (p<0.05). In the cardioembolic subtype of IS, the probability of switching patients to self-feeding on the 21st day in groups with dysphagia severity from 105 to 135 points on the MASA scale was lower than in the atherothrombotic subtype of IS (p<0.05).Conclusion. Patients with cardioembolic strokes are characterized by more severe initial dysphagia and a worse prognosis for recovery of swallowing function compared to patients with atherothrombotic strokes.

Aim. To determine the role of personalized approaches in the rehabilitation of patients with neurogenic dysphagia after acute disorders of cerebral circulation (ADCC) in the early recovery period.Materials and methods. The study included 97 patients (53 men and 44 women with the mean age of 69.5) in the early recovery period after ADСС. All the patients were at the second stage of medical rehabilitation. The treatment program included the following methods of logopedic rehabilitation: disinhibition of the act of swallowing; stimulation of the sensitivity of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity; recovery of respiratory and speech functions; selection of the consistency of liquid and solid foods to ensure the safety of swallowing during feeding; selection of the feeding method and appropriate portions to facilitate the patient’s eating.Results. When developing a personalized program of logopedic rehabilitation, the following aspects were considered: the severity of swallowing dysfunctions; the primary speech defect; patient compliance; the degree of cognitive dysfunctions; motivation for recovery.Conclusion. The application of logopedic rehabilitation methods in combination with specialized multidisciplinary care based on personalized approaches can signiﬁcantly improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the risk of undesired complications.
