ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and characteristics of OD through Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) and the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) in hypertensive patients with OSA, as well as to describe the sensitivity of EAT-10 for the detection of OD in this population. Methods: This study included a convenience sample in which 85 resistant hypertensive patients diagnosed with OSA in an university hospital participated. Participants were subjected to the EAT-10 (index test) and FEES (reference standard). Results: The median EAT-10 score was 2 (0-5.5). According to the FEES, 27 participants did not have dysphagia, 42 had mild dysphagia and 16 had mild to moderate dysphagia. The sensitivity of the EAT-10 was 70.7% (95% CI: 57.3-81.9) at a cutoff score ≤1, with a discriminatory power of 67.4% (p = 0.005). The most prevalent symptom in this population was "food stuck in the throat", while the most prevalent signs were delayed initiation of the pharyngeal phase of swallowing, premature bolus spillage and pharyngeal residue. Conclusion: In our study, the cutoff score for the EAT-10 for screening for OD in this population was ≥ 1. In conclusion, this population presented a high prevalence of dysphagia detected in FEES and its severity is associated with higher EAT-10 scores.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Analisar os diferentes métodos de Eletroestimulação Neuromuscular (EENM) na intervenção das disfagias orofaríngeas. Metódos: Revisão através dos descritores: "transtornos de deglutição" e "estimulação elétrica" nas bases PubMed, BVS, SciELO e MedLine, de 1997 a 2015. Classificados segundo Sistema Integrado CAPES (SiCAPES), Escala PEDro e Jadad. Resultados: 165 artigos encontrados. 25 selecionados de acordo com o tema proposto. Entre 2009-2012 (60%, n = 15) ocorreu maior número de publicações. Caso Controle foi o tipo de estudo mais relatado (28%, n = 7). A maioria investigou indivíduos pós acidente vascular cerebral (44%, n = 11). O tipo de terapia mais recorrente considera EENM em repouso e terapia tradicional (TT) (28%, n = 8), EENM durante a deglutição e TT (28%, n = 7) e EENM em repouso (24%, n = 3). Vital Stim® foi o aparelho de eletroestimulação mais citado (32%, n = 8). A eletroestimulação transcutânea foi a mais relatada (76%, n = 19). Quanto à localização, destacam-se eletrodos fixados na região do pescoço (48%, n = 12) e submentual (44%, n =11). Correntes mais utilizadas: FES (40%, n = 10) e TENS (24%, n = 6). Videofluoroscopia é o método de avaliação predominante (52%, n = 13). Pela distribuição SiCAPES o maior número de materiais classificam-se em B2 (36%, n = 9) e A1 (16%, n=4). Na Escala PEDro os trabalhos pontuaram, principalmente, em 11 (24%, n = 6) e 10 (16%, n = 4). Considerando a Escala Jadad, (24%, n = 6) estudos obtiveram 3 pontos. Conclusão: Observou-se maior prevalência de efeito terapêutico na elevação do complexo hiolaríngeo, importante mecanismo de defesa das vias respiratórias durante a deglutição, utilização da corrente FES, e eletrodos posicionados na região submentual ou de pescoço. Novas pesquisas são necessárias, com grupos etiológicos definidos, para comprovação do efeito terapêutico a médio e longo prazo
Objective: To analyze the different methods of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) in the intervention of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Methods: Review using the descriptors: "deglutition disorders" and "electrical stimulation" in PubMed, BVS, SciELO, and MedLine, from 1997 to 2015. Classified according to the CAPES Integrated System (SiCAPES), PEDro, and Jadad scales. Results: There were 165 articles found, from which 25 were selected according to the theme. Between 2009-2012 there were more publications (60%, n = 15). Case-control was the most reported type of study (28%, n = 7). Most individuals were investigated after a stroke (44%, n = 11). The most popular type of therapy considered NMES at rest and traditional therapy (TT) (28%, n = 8), NMES during swallowing and TT (28%, n = 7), and NMES at rest (24%, n = 3). Vital Stim® was the most cited electrical stimulation device (32%, n = 8). Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation was the most reported (76%, n = 19). As to location, electrodes placed on the neck (48%, n = 12) and submental (44%, n = 11) stood out. Electric current commonly used: FES (40%, n = 10) and TENS (24%, n = 6). Fluoroscopy was the prevailing evaluation method (52%, n = 13). For SiCAPES distribution, the greatest number of materials was classified as B2 (36%, n = 9) and A1 (16%, n = 4). On the PEDro scale, the studies mostly scored 11 (24%, n = 6) and 10 (16%, n = 4). Considering the Jadad scale, (24%, n = 6) the studies scored 3 points. Conclusion: A higher prevalence of therapeutic effect on hyolaryngeal complex elevation, an important airway defense mechanism during swallowing, and the use of FES current and electrodes placed on the submental region or neck. Further research is needed, with defined etiological groups, to prove the therapeutic effect in the medium and long term
