Abstrakt: Purpose: Describe efficacy and safety of deglutition, nutritional risk, and quality of life in deglutition, and associate nutritional risk with quality of life in individuals with chronic pulmonary disease.
Methods: The participants were 17 individuals with chronic pulmonary disease evaluated using the following instruments: Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test (V-VST), Quality of Life in Swallowing Disorders (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire, Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and body mass index (BMI).
Results: Changes in efficacy were observed in nine (52.94%) individuals and impairments in efficacy and safety were found in two (11.77%) individuals. All individuals were considered eutrophic by the nutritional assessment. Correlation was observed between nutritional risk and domains 3 (r=-0.803; p=0.05) and 5 (r=0.636; p=0.026) of the SWAL-QOL questionnaire.
Conclusion: Changes in efficacy and safety of deglutition were observed; however, no nutritional risk was evidenced in the sample evaluated. Correlation between nutritional risk and quality of life in deglutition was also observed.
