Dysphagia affects the vast majority of acute stroke patients. Although it improves within 2 weeks for most, some face longstanding swallowing problems that place them at risk for pneumonia, malnutrition, dehydration, and significantly affect quality of life. This paper discusses the scope, the disease burden, and the tools available for screening and formal evaluation of dysphagia. The most common and recently developed treatment interventions that might be useful in the treatment of this population are discussed.
吞咽困难影响绝大多数急性中风患者。尽管大多数患者在2周内吞咽困难会有所改善,但仍有一些患者面临长期的吞咽问题,这使他们有患肺炎、营养不良、脱水的风险,并严重影响生活质量。本文讨论了吞咽困难的范围、疾病负担以及用于筛查和正式评估吞咽困难的工具。文中还讨论了可能有助于治疗这类患者的最常见及最新开发的治疗干预措施。
