| Popis: | ABSTRACT Background: Swallowing and feeding problems may occur with the progression of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and can impair the anticipatory and oral preparatory phases of swallowing. Objective: To characterize swallowing problems and the feeding situation of patients with bvFTD and to correlate the swallowing problems with functionality, executive functions, cognitive and behavioral features. Methods: Consecutive outpatients with bvFTD in mild, moderate and severe dementia stages were recruited along with their caregivers. Patients and caregivers were screened with the following scales: “Mini-Mental State Examination”, “Severe Mini-Mental State Examination”, “FTLD-modified Clinical Dementia Rating”, “Neuropsychiatric Inventory”, “Frontal Assessment Battery”, “Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living”, “Swallowing Rating Scale” and “Assessment of Feeding and Swallowing Difficulties in Dementia”. Results: Overall, thirty patients with bvFTD were included along with their caregivers. Patients with bvFTD showed feeding and swallowing difficulties such as: messy to eat, passivity, coughing and choking, difficulty with some food consistencies and with specific food. Swallowing problems in bvFTD correlated with impaired functionality (p |
