From January to December, 2019, 523 old inpatients were selected and investigated with Swallowing-Quality of Life Questionnaire (SWAL-QOL), Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10), videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and FRIED scale.Results:
There were 160 inpatients diagnosed dysphagia (30.59%). The total score of SWAL-QOL in the inpatients with dysphagia was (45.15±13.31), and the dimension scores from low to high were appetite, social function, swallowing symptoms, mental health, sleep, eating fear, eating time, fatigue, swallowing burden and communication. For the total score of SWAL-QOL, EAT-10 score ≥ 19 was the risk factor, while good health condition and accepting swallowing treatment were the protective factors.Conclusion:
