Abstrakt: We evaluated the associations of the OHAT score with VE and VF and compared the associations between patients with no or only a single episode of pneumonia (no/single-pneumonia episode group) and patients with multiple pneumonia episodes (multiple-pneumonia episode group). Comparison Between the No/Single- and Multiple-Pneumonia Episode Groups There was no significant difference in OHAT score between the no/single-pneumonia episode group and the multiple-pneumonia episode group (Figure 3). In addition, the OHAT score was not significantly different between the no/single-pneumonia episode and multiple-pneumonia episode groups, while the rates of swallowing endoscopy and angiography were significantly different between the two groups. (B) Comparison of VE item scores between the no/single- and multiple-pneumonia episode groups.
ht Similar to the VF score, the swallowing angiography score was significantly higher in the multiple-pneumonia episode group than in the no/single-pneumonia episode group ( I p i < 0.01) (Figure 5A). [Extracted from the article] Databáze: Complementary Index Externí odkaz:
