Abstract

AbstractDysphagia in patients with heart failure leads to poorer outcomes during hospitalization and after discharge. Therefore, addressing dysphagia is critical for improving patient prognosis. This retrospective observational study aimed to evaluate associations between improvements in swallowing dysfunction at the time of hospital discharge and the physical function, cognitive function, nutritional status, and maximum tongue pressure (MTP). Overall, 111 patients who underwent cardiac rehabilitation and were deemed to have oral intake impairment were included. The exclusion criteria comprised the following: pre-admission diagnosis of dysphagia, in-hospital death, and missing data. Patients were categorized based on whether they did (n = 65) or did not (n = 46) exhibit improvements in oral intake impairment, which were determined from the functional oral intake scale (FOIS) score at discharge. Associations between potential explanatory variables and the FOIS score at discharge were assessed using a linear regression model. After adjusting for covariates, such as age, sex, heart failure severity, short physical performance battery score, Mini-Mental State Examination score, transthyretin level, and provision of swallowing therapy, the FOIS score at discharge was significantly associated with the MTP (P = 0.024, confidence interval: 0.006–0.046). In conclusion, the MTP was independently associated with improvements in FOIS in patients with heart failure.
