This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis that assessed the risk of aspiration pneumonia in children with laryngeal penetration or tracheal aspiration via a video-fluoroscopic study (VFSS) and compared the results to those for children with neither condition. Systematic searches were conducted using databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Meta-analysis was used to obtain summary odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The overall quality of evidence was assessed using the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) criteria. In total, 13 studies were conducted with 3159 participants. Combined results from six studies showed that laryngeal penetration on VFSS may be associated with aspiration pneumonia compared to no laryngeal penetration; however, the summary estimate was imprecise and included the possibility of no association (OR 1.44, 95% CI 0.94, 2.19, evidence certainty: low). Data from seven studies showed that tracheal aspiration might be associated with aspiration pneumonia compared to no tracheal aspiration (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.86, 3.98, evidence certainty: moderate). The association between aspiration pneumonia and laryngeal penetration through VFSS seems to be weaker than that for tracheal aspiration. Prospective cohort studies with clear definitions of laryngeal penetration and that measure clinical and patient reported outcomes are needed to further define the association between laryngeal penetration and aspiration pneumonia. |
