ABSTRACT

Introdução: O câncer de cavidade oral constitui lesões da superfície da mucosa oral, e, devido às sequelas da doença e de seu tratamento, frequentemente ocorrem quadros de disfagia. Quando a alimentação por via oral se torna impossibilitada, é fundamental a indicação de vias alternativas de alimentação. Objetivo: verificar a ocorrência e os fatores associados ao uso de via alternativa de alimentação após câncer de língua. Método: A busca foi conduzida por dois pesquisadores independentes nas bases de dados Medline (Pubmed), LILACS, SciELO, Scopus, WEB OF SCIENCE e BIREME sem restrição de idioma e localização, no período de 2010 a 2021. Para complementar e evitar viés de risco foi realizada uma busca por literatura cinza no Google Scholar. Critérios de Seleção: A revisão sistemática foi conduzida conforme as recomendações do Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Foram incluídos na pesquisa estudos que obtiveram pontuação ≥ a 6 pontos segundo o protocolo para pontuação qualitativa proposto por Pithon. Resultados: Os estudos mostram que a maioria dos indivíduos com câncer oral desenvolvem uma perda significativa de peso, necessitando de intervenção. O estágio geral da doença é um preditor significativo de perda de peso crítica em pacientes em tratamento. Conclusão: A indicação de via alternativa de alimentação após câncer de língua foi de 19,3% a 68,2%, e os fatores associados a essa indicação de VAA foram o estágio geral, cirurgia associada à terapia adjuvante, má adesão ao tratamento multidisciplinar, presença de complicações e baixa sobrevida. (AU)


Introduction: Oral cavity cancer constitutes lesions on the surface of the oral mucosa and, due to the consequences of the disease and its treatment, dysphagia often occurs. When oral feeding becomes impossible, it is essential to indicate alternative feeding routes. Objective: to verify the occurrence and factors associated with the use of an alternative feeding route after tongue cancer. Method: The search was conducted by two independent researchers in the Medline (Pubmed), LILACS, SciELO, Scopus, WEB OF SCIENCE and BIREME databases without language and location restrictions, from 2010 to 2021. To complement and to avoid risk bias, a search for gray literature on Google Scholar was performed. Selection Criteria: The systematic review was conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Studies that scored ≥ 6 points according to the protocol for qualitative scoring proposed by Pithon. Results: Studies show that most individuals with oral cancer develop significant weight loss, requiring intervention. The overall stage of the disease is a significant predictor of critical weight loss in patients undergoing treatment. Conclusion: The indication of an alternative feeding route after tongue cancer was 19.3% to 68.2%, and the factors associated with this indication of AAV were the general stage, surgery associated with adjuvant therapy, poor adherence to multidisciplinary treatment, presence of complications and poor survival. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A avaliação fonoaudiológica hospitalar tem um importante papel na prevenção e manejo de pacientes com risco de broncoaspiração. No entanto, nem sempre cabe ao fonoaudiólogo a primeira avaliação e definição da via alimentar nos pacientes hospitalares. Objetivo: Comparar as decisões fonoaudiológicas e médicas quanto à viabilidade da via alimentar em um hospital geral e identificar fatores associados com a melhora da deglutição. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo de pacientes internados em hospital em Joinville durante março a agosto de 2018. A via alimentar foi considerada com base na Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) sendo a primeira decisão comparada entre o fonoaudiólogo e o médico para o mesmo paciente. Resultados: Dos 171 pacientes, houve maior concordância entre as condutas médica e fonoaudiológica para alimentação por sonda nasoenteral (SNE) (88,7%) e alimentação oral livre (81,9%). No entanto, houve apenas 35% de concordância na definição de dieta adaptada, sendo a concordância geral moderada (Kappa 0,486). Houve evolução na alimentação por via oral em 62 pacientes (36%). Maior limitação da via alimentar, verificado pela necessidade de SNE (OR = 3,17; p = 0,025) e o maior número de atendimentos fonoaudiológicos intra-hospitalares (OR = 1,09; p = 0,020) foram associados com a melhora da disfagia. Conclusão: Encontrou-se concordância entre a avaliação dietética de casos para uso de SNE ou dieta livre entre o fonoaudiólogo e médico. Uso de SNE, como indicador de gravidade do paciente, e o maior número de sessões de fonoterapia foram associados com a melhora da disfagia durante a internação. (AU)


Introduction: Hospital-based speech-language pathology plays a crucial role in preventing and managing patients at risk of bronchoaspiration. However, the initial evaluation and determination of the feeding route in hospitalized patients may not always fall under the responsibility of the speech-language pathologist. Objective: To compare the decisions of speech-language pathologists and medical professionals regarding the feasibility of the feeding route in a general hospital and identify factors associated with swallowing improvement. Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients admitted to a hospital in Joinville from March to August 2018. The feeding route was assessed based on the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), with the initial decision compared between the speech-language pathologist and the physician for the same patient. Results: Among 171 patients, there was higher agreement between medical and speech-language pathology decisions for nasoenteral tube feeding (88.7%) and oral unrestricted intake (81.9%). However, there was only 35% agreement in defining an adapted diet, with overall moderate agreement (Kappa 0.486). Oral feeding improved in 62 patients (36%). The presence of nasoenteral tube feeding (OR = 3.17; p = 0.025) and a higher number of in-hospital speech-language pathology appointments (OR = 1.09; p = 0.020) were identified as independent predictors for dysphagia improvement. Conclusion: Concordance was found in the dietary assessment for the use of nasoenteral tube feeding or oral unrestricted intake between speech-language pathologists and physicians. The use of nasoenteral tube feeding as an indicator of patient severity and a higher number of speech-language pathology sessions were associated with dysphagia improvement during hospitalization.

ABSTRACT

A Organização Mundial da Saúde preconiza que mudemos a forma como pensamos, sentimos e agimos com relação à idade e ao envelhecimento, lutando contra o idadismo direcionado à pessoa idosa - o conjunto de estereótipos, preconceitos e discriminação contra esse grupo. Diante do papel da fonoaudiologia na gerontologia, do impacto possível do idadismo no cuidado fonoaudiológico e por desconhecermos trabalhos semelhantes ao aqui proposto, objetivamos discutir o idadismo entre estudantes e profissionais da Fonoaudiologia. Realizou-se revisão integrativa de literatura, buscando-se artigos, em abril de 2023, a partir dos termos "idadismo" e "fonoaudiologia" nas bases Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO), Literatura Latinoamericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Public Medicine Library (PubMed). Incluíram-se todas as referências publicadas nos últimos 15 anos sobre o tema, bem como as pesquisas pertinentes à revisão citadas nestes artigos. Foram encontradas cinco pesquisas, todas quantitativas, publicadas entre 2003 e 2021, duas realizadas nos Estados Unidos, duas no Chile e uma no Brasil. O idadismo foi avaliado como preconceito, como conhecimento indevido sobre o envelhecimento, atitudeinadequada com relação aos idosos e como estereótipo sobre eles, e foi encontrado em estudantes na metade (n=2) dos estudos que os investigaram, num deles sob a forma de conhecimento inadequado e no outro sob a forma de preconceito. Ademais, o idadismo esteve presente em fonoaudiólogos em um dos quatro estudos que os avaliaram, apresentado como estereótipo positivo. Os resultados desta revisão não são generalizáveis, mas podem fundamentar reflexões com repercussões no cuidado fonoaudiológico prestado a pessoas idosas e evidenciam a necessidade de mais pesquisas. (AU)


The World Health Organization Combating proposes combating ageism toward older persons- conceptualized as stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination against older people. Due to the role of speech and language pathologist (SLP) and audiologist in gerontology, because of the possible impact of ageism in caring for older persons and because we didn't find studies similar to this research, we aimed to discuss ageism between SLP and Audiology professionals and students. We conducted an integrative review, searching articles, in 2023 April, by terms "ageism" and "SLP" in the scientific bases Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO), Literatura Latinoamericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Public Medicine Library (PubMed). All the research published in the last 15 years about the theme were included, as well as the theme-related cited in these researches. There were found five articles, all quantitative, published between 2003 and 2021, two in the United States of America, two in Chile and one in Brazil. Ageism was evaluated as prejudice, inadequate knowledge about the aging, inadequate attitude toward older persons and stereotypes about them. Ageism was found in half (n=2) of the studies that investigated SLP students, evidenced as inadequate knowledge in one of them and as prejudice in the other. Between SLP professionals, ageism was found in one of four studies, evidenced as a positive stereotype. The results are not generalizable, but they can stimulate reflections about repercussions in the care of aged persons and it points to the necessity of more studies. (AU)


La Organización Mundial de la Salud propones la lucha contra el edadismo - conoscido como estereotipos, prejuicios y discriminación contra las personas mayores. Debido al papel de la logopedia en gerontología y a la posibilidad de edadismo perjudicar el cuidado a las personas mayores, y porque desconocemos trabajos similares a nuestro, estudiamos el edadismo entre estudiantes y profesionales de Logopedia. Se desarrolló una revisión integrativa. Se buscaron artículos, en abril de 2023, por los términos "edadismo" y "logopedia" en las bases científicas Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO), Literatura Latinoamericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Public Medicine Library (PubMed). Se incluyeron todas las investigaciones sobre el tema publicadas en los últimos 15 años, y aquellas relacionadas con el tema citadas en estas investigaciones. Se encontraron cinco artículos, todos cuantitativos, publicados entre 2003 y 2021, dos de los cuales fueron realizados en Estados Unidos de América, dos en Chile y uno en Brasil. La discriminación por edad se evaluó como prejuicio, conocimiento inadecuado sobre el proceso de envejecimiento, actitud inadecuada hacia las personas mayores y estereotipos sobre esas personas. La discriminación por edad se encontró en la mitad (n=2) de los estudios sobre este grupo, evidenciada como conocimiento inadecuado en uno y como prejuicio en otro. Entre los logopedas, en uno de los cuatro estudios se encontró discriminación por edad, como un estereotipo positivo. Los resultados no son generalizables, pero pueden estimular reflexiones sobre las repercusiones en el cuidado gerontológico y señalar la necesidad de realizar más estudios. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A disfagia orofaríngea impacta a qualidade de vida de pessoas sob cuidados paliativos. Objetivo: discutir a literatura sobre qualidade de vida de adultos e idosos com doenças não oncológicas e disfagia orofaríngea, com necessidade de cuidados paliativos predominantes ou exclusivos. Método: Realizou-se revisão integrativa de literatura, buscando-se artigos nas bases LILACS, SciELO e PubMed, em setembro de 2023, com os descritores "transtornos da deglutição" ou "deglutição" e "cuidados paliativos" e "qualidade de vida" - houve variações devido às ferramentas de busca de cada base. Incluíram-se estudos de qualquer ano ou idioma, sobre disfagia orofaríngea e qualidade de vida em adultos e/ou idosos com necessidades de cuidados paliativos, excluindo-se aqueles exclusivamente sobre disfagia esofágica e/ou pacientes oncológicos. Selecionaram-se, também, outras pesquisas referenciadas nos estudos lidos, incluindo-se as que atendessem aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados: Encontraram-se inicialmente 84 estudos. Ao final, incluíram-se cinco estudos, três qualitativos e dois quantitativos, dois europeus e três brasileiros, publicados na última década; dois indexados em PubMed (um deles também no SciELO), dois em SciELO e LILACS e um somente em LILACS. Conclusão: A literatura levantada mostrou-se escassa, com métodos diversos, amostras pequenas. Todos demonstraram relação entre disfagia orofaríngea e qualidade de vida alterada, um deles sugerindo impacto positivo da intervenção fonoaudiológica. Evidencia-se necessidade de cuidado fonoaudiológico com foco na qualidade de vida, a qual possibilita avaliação dos efeitos da intervenção. Necessitam-se mais estudos e com metodologia mais robusta para que seja possível estabelecer diretrizes clínicas na fonoaudiologia paliativista. (AU)


ntroduction: Oropharyngeal dysphagia impacts on quality of life of persons under palliative care. Objective: To discuss the literature about quality of life of adults and older people living with non-oncological diseases and oropharyngeal dysphagia with needs of exclusive or predominant palliative care. Method: we realized a integrative review in LILACS, SciELO and PubMed databases, in September 2023, using the descriptors "swallowing disorders" or "swallowing" and "palliative care" and "quality of life" - there were variations due to the search tools of each base. We included studies on this theme of any publication year or language, excluding those about only esophageal dysphagia and/or cancer patients. Other researches cited in these were also selected, checking the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Initially the search returned 84 studies. After reading them, we selected five ones, three qualitative and two quantitative studies, two European and three Brazilian papers, published in the last decade. Two were indexed in PubMed (one of them also in SciELO), two in SciELO and LILACS and one, only in LILACS. Conclusion: The literature was scarce, with different methods and small samples, discussing a relationship between oropharyngeal dysphagia and altered quality of life, one of them suggesting a positive impact of speech therapy intervention. The need for palliative speech therapy care is evident, taking into account quality of life as a measure of the effects of intervention. More studies are needed with better methodology so that it is possible to establish clinical guidelines in palliative speech therapy. (AU)


Introducción: La disfagia orofaríngea prejudica la calidade de vida de personas en cuidados paliativos. Objetivo: discutir la literatura sobre la calidad de vida de adultos y personas mayores con enfermedades no oncológicas y disfagia orofaríngea necesitando de cuidados paliativos predominantes o exclusivos. Método: se realizó revisión integrativa de la literatura, bucándose artículos en LILACS, SciELO y PubMed, en septiembre de 2023, con los descriptores "trastornos de la deglución" o "deglución" y "cuidados paliativos" y "calidad de vida" - hube variaciones debido a las herramientas de búsqueda disponibles en cada base. Se incluyeron estudios sobre la temática de cualquier año o idioma, excluyendo aquellos exclusivamente sobre disfagia esofágica y/o pacientes con cáncer. Durante la lectura de los estudios incluidos, se seleccionaron otros citados en ellos, verificándose los critérios de inclusion y exclusion. Resultados: Inicialmente se encontraron 84 estudios, dos cuales se incluyeron cinco, tres cualitativos y dos cuantitativos, dos europeos y tres brasileños, de la última década; dos indexados en PubMed (uno de ellos también en SciELO), dos en SciELO y LILACS y uno sólo en LILACS. Conclusión: La literatura fue escasa, con diferentes métodos y muestras pequeñas. Todos discutieron la relación entre la disfagia orofaríngea y la calidad de vida alterada, y uno de ellos sugirió impacto positivo de la intervención logopédica. Es evidente la necesidad de logopedia paliativista, teniendo en cuenta la calidad de vida como medida de los efectos terapéuticos. Se necesitan más estudios con una metodología mejor para que sea posible establecer guías clínicas en logopedia paliativa. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La disfagia resulta de varios mecanismos fisiopatológicos donde sus síntomas no son estáticos ni homogéneos en las personas, especialmente cuando existe disfagia orofaríngea neurogénica. Objetivo: Conocer la percepción y comportamiento en el tiempo de síntomas de disfagia mediante el instrumento Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) en pacientes con disfagia orofaríngea neurogénica, con el fin de visualizar la dinámica clínica de esta forma de disfagia. Metodología: Estudio observacional tipo cohorte en pacientes con disfagia orofaríngea neurogénica de causas neurológicas y neuromusculares, con seguimiento a tres y seis meses y diligenciamiento del EAT-10 al momento basal, tercer y sexto mes. Resultados: Un total de 90 personas con evaluación basal, de las cuales el 56,7 % (51/90) lograron seguimiento al tercer mes y 25,6 % (23/90) al sexto mes. Los síntomas de disfagia con mayor autopercepción en los tres momentos fueron la dificultad para tragar sólidos, sensación de comida pegada en garganta y tos al comer. La odinofagia no fue un síntoma habitualmente percibido. La puntuación total del EAT-10 estuvo entre 16,61 ± 9 y 18,1 ± 9,5 puntos en general. En pacientes con seguimiento completo se observó variación en la autopercepción para tragar líquidos y pastillas. Se observó variación del puntaje al ajustarlo por recepción de terapias. Discusión: Las enfermedades neurológicas y neuromusculares impactan directamente la deglución con gravedad entre leve a profunda, donde la autopercepción de síntomas deglutorios es dinámica, pero con síntomas cardinales de disfagia orofaríngea en el tiempo. Conclusiones: El reconocimiento y seguimiento de síntomas de disfagia deben ser aspectos usuales en la atención de pacientes con enfermedades neurológicas y neuromusculares.


Introduction: Dysphagia results from several pathophysiological mechanisms where its symptoms are not static or homogeneous in people, especially when there is neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia. Objective: To know the perception and behavior over time of symptoms of dysphagia using the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) in patients with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia to visualize the clinical dynamics of this form of dysphagia. Methodology: Observational cohort study in patients with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia of neurological and neuromuscular causes with, follow-up at three and six months, and completion of the EAT-10 at baseline, third and sixth month. Results: A total of 90 people with baseline evaluation were included, of whom 56.7% (51/90) achieved follow-up at the third month and 25.6% (23/90) at the sixth month. Symptoms of dysphagia with greater self-perception at all three moments were difficulty swallowing solids, sensation of food stuck in the throat and coughing when eating. Odynophagia was not a commonly perceived symptom. The total score of the EAT-10 was between 16.61±9 and 18.1±9.5 points in general. In patients with complete follow-up, variation in self-perception of swallowing liquids and pills was observed. Variation of the score when adjusting for the reception of therapies. Discussion: Neurological and neuromuscular diseases directly impact swallowing with mild to profound severity, where self-perception of swallowing symptoms is dynamic, but with cardinal symptoms of oropharyngeal dysphagia over time. Conclusions: The recognition and monitoring of dysphagia symptoms should be usual aspects in the care of patients with neurological and neuromuscular diseases.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Determinar los factores de riesgo presentes en los pacientes con disfagia en relación con una población de pacientes críticos. Método: Serie de casos de una cohorte de pacientes reclutados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) hasta el alta hospitalaria. Se reclutaron a aquellos pacientes que dieron su consentimiento y cumplían los criterios de inclusión. El método de exploración clínica Volumen-Viscosidad fue utilizado para la detección de la disfagia. Se realizó un análisis estadístico uni- y bivariante, a través del odds ratio (OR) para detectar los factores de riesgo en la disfagia. Resultados: 103 pacientes fueron reclutados de 401 posibles. La media de edad fue de 59,33±13,23; los hombres representaban el 76,7%. La gravedad media fue: APACHE II (12,74±6,17) y Charlson (2,98±3,31). Un 45,6% de los pacientes desarrollaron disfagia, obteniendo valores significativos de OR (p<0,050) para el desarrollo de disfagia: la mayor edad, los antecedentes neurológicos, COVID19, la alta estancia en UCI y hospitalización y la presencia de traqueotomía. Los pacientes COVID19 representaban el 46,6%, por lo que se realizó un análisis de este subgrupo observando resultados similares, con un riesgo de Charlson (OR:4,65; IC95%: 1,31-16,47; p=0,014) y una estancia hospitalaria (OR: 8,50; IC95%: 2,20-32,83; p<0,001). Al alta de UCI, el 37,9% de la población presentaba todavía disfagia, y mantenía este problema al alta hospitalaria el 12,6%. Conclusiones: Casi la mitad de nuestros pacientes presentaron disfagia. Fueron factores de riesgo la gravedad clínica y la presencia de traqueotomía. Se observó en estos pacientes una mayor estancia tanto en UCI como en hospitalización.(AU)


Aims: To identify risk factors present in patients with dysphagia in a population of critically ill patients. Methods: Case series of a cohort of patients recruited in the intensive care unit (ICU) until hospital discharge. Patients who gave consent and met the inclusion criteria were recruited. The Volume-Viscosity clinical examination method was used for the screening of dysphagia. An uni- and bivariate statistical analysis was performed using odds ratio (OR) to detect risk factors for dysphagia. Outcomes: 103 patients were recruited from 401 possible. The mean age was 59,33±13,23, men represented 76,7%. The severity of the sample was: APACHE II (12,74±6,17) and Charlson (2,98±3,31). 45,6% of patients showed dysphagia, obtaining significant OR values (p<0,050) for the development of dysphagia: older age, neurological antecedents, COVID19, long stay in ICU and hospitalization, and the presence of tracheotomy. COVID19 patients represented 46,6% of the sample, so an analysis of this subgroup was performed, showing similar results, with a Charlson risk (OR:4,65; 95% CI:1,31-16,47; p=0,014) and a hospital stay (OR: 8,50; 95%CI: 2,20-32,83; p<0,001). On discharge from the ICU, 37,9% of the population still had dysphagia; 12,6% maintained this problem at hospital discharge. Conclusions: Almost half of our patients developed dysphagia. Clinical severity and the presence of tracheotomy were risk factors. We observed in patients with dysphagia a longer stay in both ICU and hospitalization.(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Develop an App to use in healthcare practice, with updated and accurate information on the handling of medications in patients with dysphagia or deglution disorders, as well as their compatibility with food and thickeners. METHODS: The development of the Deglufarm® App was based on the CRONOS, Nutrition and Techno working groups of the Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria. A group of specialist pharmacists was created from different care areas for patients with dysphagia. The creation of Deglufarm® consisted of several stages: Selection of active drugs, literature review, content development, design (an expert company in App design was contacted), testing, launch, content update and follow-up. RESULTS: Deglufarm® is available for Android and IOS free of charge from July 2022. It has been tested among the members of the research group and collaborators, currently, 540 monographs of active drugs have been reviewed and registered in Deglufarm. The first version is aimed at healthcare professionals. CONCLUSIONS: Deglufarm® is an easy tool to consult, with the most current evidence on handling the medicines it contains.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Multipathological patients are a vulnerable population with high comorbidity, functional impairment, and nutritional risk. Almost 50% of these hospitalized patients have dysphagia. There is no consensus on whether placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube provides greater clinical benefit. The purpose of this study was to know and compare 2 groups of multipathological patients with dysphagia according to the mode of feeding: PEG vs. oral. METHOD: Retrospective descriptive study with hospitalized patients (2016-19), pluripathological, with dysphagia, nutritional risk, over 50 years with diagnoses of: dementia, cerebrovascular accident (CVA), neurological disease, or oropharyngeal neoplasia. Terminally ill patients with jejunostomy tube or parenteral nutrition were excluded. Sociodemographic variables, clinical situation, and comorbidities were evaluated. Bivariate analysis was performed to compare both groups according to their diet, establishing a significance level of p < .05. RESULTS: 1928 multipathological patients. The PEG group consisted of 84 patients (n122). A total of 84 were randomly selected to form the non-PEG group (n434). This group had less history of bronchoaspiration/pneumonia (p = .008), its main diagnosis was stroke versus dementia in the PEG group (p < .001). Both groups had more than a 45% risk of comorbidity (p = .77). CONCLUSIONS: multipathological patients with dysphagia with PEG usually have dementia as their main diagnosis, however, stroke is the most relevant pathology in those fed orally. Both groups have associated risk factors, high comorbidity, and dependence. This causes their vital prognosis to be limited regardless of the mode of feeding.

ABSTRACT

Tradicionalmente, el inicio de nutrición enteral, luego de una gastrostomía endoscópica percutánea (GEP) se realiza entre 12 a 24 horas. Diferentes investigaciones sugieren que iniciarla más temprano podría ser una opción segura. El objetivo es determinar si el inicio de nutrición enteral a las 4 horas después de realizar GEP es una conducta segura en cuanto al riesgo de intolerancia, complicaciones o muerte, comparado con iniciarla a las 12 horas. Realizamos un estudio prospectivo, aleatorizado, multicéntrico en instituciones de tercer y cuarto nivel de Bogotá y Cundinamarca, entre junio de 2020 y mayo de 2022, se incluyeron 117 pacientes que fueron aleatorizados en 2 grupos, el grupo A de inicio temprano de nutrición (4 horas), y el grupo B de inicio estándar (12 horas). El mecanismo más frecuente de disfagia fue la enfermedad cerebrovascular (43%), seguido por complicaciones de infección por COVID-19 (26%). No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos evaluados respecto al porcentaje de intolerancia a la nutrición, RR = 0,93 (IC 0,30-2,90), tampoco hubo diferencias en términos de complicaciones posoperatorias, (RR) = 0,34 (IC 0,09-1,16), y no se encontraron diferencias en la mortalidad entre los grupos evaluados, (RR) = 1,12 (IC 0,59 - 2,15). En conclusión, el inicio de nutrición a través de la gastrostomía de forma temprana, 4 horas después de la realización de la GEP es una conducta segura que no se relaciona con una mayor intolerancia a la nutrición, complicaciones o muerte, en comparación con un inicio más tardío.


Traditionally, the initiation of enteral nutrition after a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is performed between 12 and 24 hours. Different research suggests that early initiation might be a safe option. Our aim was to determine whether starting enteral nutrition 4 hours after performing PEG is a safe practice in terms of risk of intolerance, complications, or death, compared to starting it at 12 hours. We carried out a prospective, randomized, multicenter study in third and fourth level institutions in Bogotá and Cundinamarca, between June 2020 and May 2022, 117 patients were included who were randomized into 2 groups, group A with early nutrition initiation (4 hours), and standard group B (12 hours). The most frequent mechanism of dysphagia was cerebrovascular disease (43%), followed by complications of COVID19 infection (26%). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups evaluated regarding the percentage of intolerance to nutrition, RR = 0.93 (CI 0.30-2.90), there were also no differences in terms of postoperative complications, (RR) = 0.34 (CI 0.09-1.16), and no differences were found in mortality between the evaluated groups, (RR) = 1.12 (CI 0.59-2.15). In conclusion, early initiation of nutrition through the gastrostomy, 4 hours after performing the PEG, is a safe behavior that is not related to greater intolerance to nutrition, complications, or death, compared to later initiation.

ABSTRACT

de la deglución, los cuales representan todas las alteraciones del proceso fisiológico encargado de llevar el alimento desde la boca al esófago y después al estómago, salvaguardando siempre la protección de las vías respiratorias. OBJETIVO. Definir el manejo óptimo, de la disfagia en pacientes con antecedente de infección severa por COVID-19. METODOLOGÍA. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura científica en las bases de datos PubMed y Elsevier que relacionan el manejo de la disfagia y pacientes con antecedente de infección severa por SARS-CoV-2. Se obtuvo un universo de 134 artículos que cumplieron los criterios de búsqueda. Se seleccionaron 24 documentos, para ser considerados en este estudio. RESULTADOS. La incidencia de disfagia posterior a infección severa por SARS-CoV-2 fue del 23,14%, siendo la disfagia leve la más frecuente 48,0%. Los tratamientos clínicos más empleados en el manejo de la disfagia fueron rehabilitación oral y cambio de textura en la dieta en el 77,23% de los casos, mientras que el único tratamiento quirúrgico empleado fue la traqueotomía 37,31%. Un 12,68% de pacientes recuperó su función deglutoria sin un tratamiento específico. La eficacia de los tratamientos clínicos y quirúrgicos en los pacientes sobrevivientes de la infección severa por SARS-CoV-2 fue del 80,68%, con una media en el tiempo de resolución de 58 días. CONCLUSIÓN. La anamnesis es clave para el diagnóstico de disfagia post COVID-19. El tratamiento puede variar, desde un manejo conservador como cambios en la textura de la dieta hasta tratamientos más invasivos como traqueotomía para mejorar la función deglutoria.


INTRODUCTION. The difficulty to swallow or dysphagia is included within the problems of swallowing, which represent all the alterations of the physiological process in charge of carrying the food from the mouth to the esophagus, and then to the stomach, always taking into account the protection of the airways. OBJECTIVE. To define the optimal management, both clinical and surgical, for the adequate treatment of dysphagia produced as a consequence of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. METHODOLOGY. A review of the scientific literature was carried out using both PubMed and Elsevier databases, which relate the management of dysphagia and patients with a history of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. RESULTS. The incidence of dysphagia following severe SARS-CoV-2 infection was of 23,14%, with mild dysphagia being the most frequent 48,00%. The most frequently used clinical treatments for dysphagia management were oral rehabilitation and change in dietary texture in 77,23% of cases, while tracheotomy was the only surgical treatment used 37,31%. A total of 12,68% of patients recovered their swallowing function without specific treatment. The efficacy of clinical and surgical treatments in survivors of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection was 80,68%, with a mean resolution time of 58 days. CONCLUSION. An adequate medical history is key to the diagnosis of post-COVID-19 dysphagia. Treatment can range from conservative management such as changes in diet texture to more invasive treatments such as tracheotomy to improve swallowing function.

Introduction: The safest way of feeding babies with heart disease can be a challenge for the multidisciplinary team to choose. Objective: To identify the main swallowing difficulties in the different forms of feeding in infants with congenital heart disease. Methods: The guiding question was: "What are the main swallowing difficulties in the different forms of feeding in infants with congenital heart disease?". The population was defined as infants with heart disease, considering breastfeeding as exposure of interest and bottle feeding considered a comparison group. Swallowing difficulties were considered the outcome. Articles without language restriction were selected, regardless of the year of publication until April 2019, which presented in the title, abstract or body of the article a relationship with the objective of the research and the eligibility criteria, with an observational design. After data extraction, the measurements were transformed into percentages and described in a qualitative synthesis. Results: A total of 828 articles were found, and after analysis, 11 articles were included in total. The main difficulties presented by infants with heart disease at the mother's breast were coughing, choking, cyanosis, drop in peripheral oxygen saturation and incoordination between sucking, breathing and swallowing. The swallowing difficulties most found in the offer of the mother's breast were: cough, choking, cyanosis, drop in saturation, incoordination between sucking-breathing-swallowing, fatigue, oral leakage, prolonged feeding time, inadequate lip sealing, inadequate nipple grip, and altered cervical auscultation. Conclusion: Infants with heart disease have swallowing difficulties both in the mother's breast and in the bottle, with a higher frequency of presentations of difficulties being observed with the bottle.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la infección por COVID-19 afecta el tracto aerodigestivo superior a través de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina 2 (ECA2) y/o la proteasa transmembrana serina 2 (TMPRSS2). Sus manifestaciones agudas y secuelas han sido muy variadas y no todas están relacionadas con la intubación orotraqueal. El objetivo es describir las características sociodemográficas, clínicas y los hallazgos endoscópicos de los pacientes con síntomas laringofaríngeos posteriores a una infección por SARS-CoV-2 evaluados en el Hospital Militar Central y Hospital Universitario Clínica San Rafael entre marzo de 2020 y marzo de 2022. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional de corte transversal con datos sociodemográficos, comorbilidades, necesidad de intubación orotraqueal, variedad de síntomas y sus hallazgos endoscópicos. Resultados: se recolectaron datos de 118 pacientes; la edad media fue de 51 años ± 14,4. El síntoma más frecuente fue la disfonía (69,5 %), seguido de la disnea (39,8 %). El 58,9 % requirió intubación orotraqueal y, de estos, la manifestación más frecuente fue disfonía por tensión muscular (DTM) y estenosis subglótica-traqueal. En el 41,1 % restante su hallazgo más frecuente fue la laringitis irritativa. Conclusiones: la COVID-19 tiene múltiples manifestaciones laringofaríngeas en relación con su mecanismo de infección e invasión en los tejidos de esta zona, de tipo inflamatorio y estructural, y no todos están relacionados con la intubación.


Introduction: COVID 19 infection affects the upper aerodigestive tract through angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and/or Transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2). Its acute manifestations and sequelae have been very varied, and not all of them are related to orotracheal intubation. The objective is to describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and the endoscopic findings of patients with laryngopharyngeal symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection evaluated at the Hospital Militar Central and Hospital Universitario Clínica San Rafael between March 2020 and March 2022. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study, obtaining sociodemographic data, comorbidities, need for orotracheal intubation, variety of symptoms and their endoscopic findings. Results: 118 patients were collected; the mean age was 51 years ± 14.4. The most frequent symptom was dysphonia (69.5%), followed by dyspnea (39.8%). 58.9% required orotracheal intubation and of these the most frequent manifestation was muscular tension dysphonia (MTD) and subglottictracheal stenosis. In the remaining 41.1%, the most frequent finding was irritative laryngitis. Conclusions: COVID-19 has multiple laryngopharyngeal manifestations in relation to its mechanism of infection and invasion in the tissues of this area, as an inflammatory and structural type, and not all of them are related to intubation.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) is widely recognized as the standard surgical treatment for esophageal achalasia. However, there is a lack of local data regarding the clinical characteristics of patients and the outcomes of this intervention. Methodology: This retrospective study analyzed patients who underwent LHM over an eight-year period. Demographic, operative, and postoperative variables were assessed. The Eckardt score was used to compare symptoms before and after the intervention. Continuous variables were presented as means. Results: Among the 39 patients assessed, 27 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 51% were male, with an average age of 48 years. The average lower esophageal sphincter pressure was 36 mmHg. The mean operative time and bleeding were 133 minutes and 34 mL, respectively. The average length of the myotomy was 8.3 cm. Partial fundoplication was performed in all cases, and intraoperative endoscopy was conducted in 88% of the cases. Two intraoperative mucosal perforations occurred. The average length of hospital stay was 2.7 days. There was one medical complication but no mortality. Dysphagia significantly improved by 95%, and the mean Eckardt score decreased from 7.7 to 1.2 after surgery (p < 0.001). The average follow-up period was 24 months. Conclusion: LHM with partial fundoplication proves to be an effective and safe procedure for treating achalasia. It results in the resolution of dysphagia in 95% of cases and carries minimal morbidity. Therefore, LHM should be considered the definitive treatment of choice for achalasia.


Introducción: la miotomía de Heller laparoscópica (MHL) se considera el tratamiento quirúrgico estándar en acalasia esofágica. A nivel local se desconocen las características clínicas de los pacientes y los resultados de la intervención. Metodología: estudio retrospectivo que incluye pacientes llevados a MHL durante un periodo de 8 años. Se analizaron variables demográficas, operatorias y posoperatorias. Mediante el puntaje de Eckardt se compararon síntomas antes y después de la intervención. Las variables continuas se expresan en promedios. Resultados: 27 de 39 pacientes cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. El 51% fueron hombres y el promedio de edad fue de 48 años. La presión promedio del esfínter esofágico inferior fue de 36 mm Hg. El promedio de tiempo operatorio y sangrado fue de 133 minutos y 34 mL, respectivamente. La longitud promedio de la miotomía fue de 8,3 cm. Se adicionó funduplicatura parcial en todos los casos y en el 88% se realizó una endoscopia intraoperatoria. Se presentaron 2 perforaciones intraoperatorias de la mucosa. El promedio de estancia hospitalaria fue 2,7 días. Hubo una complicación médica y ninguna mortalidad. La disfagia mejoró en el 95% y el promedio del puntaje de Eckardt disminuyó de 7,7 a 1,2 luego de cirugía (p < 0,001). El seguimiento fue de 24 meses en promedio. Conclusión: la MHL con funduplicatura parcial es un procedimiento efectivo y seguro para el tratamiento de la acalasia. Se asocia a resolución de la disfagia en el 95% de los casos, su morbilidad es mínima y debe considerarse el tratamiento definitivo de elección.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El Pedi-EAT-10 es un instrumento validado, sencillo y rápido para el despistaje de disfagia en la edad pediátrica. El estudio tiene como objetivo traducir y adaptar al español la escala y comprobar sus propiedades psicométricas, dificultad y rapidez de cumplimentación. Pacientes y métodos: Tras la traducción, retrotraducción y aprobación por los investigadores de la versión en español del Pedi-EAT-10, se realizó un estudio prospectivo con un grupo de pacientes con disfagia y otro grupo de niños sanos o con patología menor. Sus tutores legales cumplimentaron el test y valoraron la duración y dificultad del mismo. Resultados: El estudio incluyó 87 casos con disfagia y 91 controles. El coeficiente de consistencia interna alfa de Cronbach fue 0,87. La mayoría de las correlaciones entre las puntuaciones de cada ítem y el total de la escala fueron>0,65 (p<0,001). Las puntuaciones del Pedi-EAT-10 fueron significativamente más altas en los pacientes con disfagia en todos los grupos de edad (p<0,001), mostrando así una alta sensibilidad y especificidad para el cribado de disfagia. En el grupo control, el tiempo medio de administración fue de 2,18±1,98 minutos y todos consideraron fácil su cumplimentación. Conclusiones: Se ha comprobado la validez, fiabilidad y consistencia interna de la versión en español del Pedi-EAT-10. Es un instrumento fácil y rápido, útil para el despistaje de la disfagia en la práctica clínica en pediatría. (AU)


Introduction: The Pedi-EAT-10 is a quick and simple validated tool for screening for dysphagia in the paediatric age group. The objective of our study was to translate and adapt the scale to Spanish and assess its psychometric properties, level of difficulty and speed of completion. Patients and methods: Following the forward and back translation and the approval by the research team of the Spanish version of the Pedi-EAT-10, we carried out a prospective study in a group of patients with dysphagia and a group of children who were healthy or had minor disease. Their legal guardians completed the questionnaire and reported the duration and difficulty of the test. Results: The study included 87 cases of dysphagia and 91 controls. The Cronbach alpha for internal consistency was 0.87. Most correlations between single item scores and the total scale score were greater than 0.65 (P<.001). The Pedi-EAT-10 scores were significantly higher in patients with dysphagia in every age group (P<.001), evincing a high sensibility and specificity for the screening of dysphagia. In the control group, the mean time taken to complete the questionnaire was 2.18±1.98 minutes, and all participants found it easy. Conclusions: We verified the validity, reliability and internal consistency of the Spanish version of the Pedi-EAT-10. It is an easy and quick instrument that can be used for screening of dysphagia in paediatric clinical practice. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la disfagia es un trastorno de la deglución, el cual es habitualmente desatendido por profesionales de la salud, en especial la disfagia orofaríngea neurogénica, que es capaz de producir varios síntomas, signos y complicaciones secundarias en los pacientes. Objetivo: realizar una caracterización clínica incluyendo percepción de síntomas de disfagia en pacientes con disfagia orofaríngea neurogénica de causas neurológicas y neuromusculares en Antioquia, Colombia entre los años 2019 y 2021. Metodología: estudio transversal realizado en 80 pacientes con disfagia orofaríngea neurogénica confirmada a través de la herramienta Eating Assessment Tool-10, evaluación clínica y/o resultados de video fluoroscopia de la deglución. Resultados: 71 pacientes presentaron causas neurológicas centrales. La enfermedad cerebrovascular y la enfermedad de Parkinson fueron las etiologías más frecuentes. Solo 18% de los pacientes con causas neurológicas y 33% con causas neuromusculares reportaron tolerancia a todas las consistencias de alimentos. Mediana de 16 puntos en cuanto a autopercepción de síntomas de disfagia mediante el instrumento Eating Assessment Tool-10, con puntuaciones más altas en pacientes con presencia de gastrostomía, antecedente de neumonía, odinofagia y alteración en la oclusión mandibular al examen físico. En los pacientes con causas neurológicas hubo mayor presencia de signos motores linguales y apraxias orofaciales. Conclusión: existen características clínicas como sensación de comida pegada, dificultad para tragar alimentos sólidos, tos y ahogo al tragar, que son útiles en el reconocimiento de casos de disfagia orofaríngea, y apoyan que esta genera más síntomas que signos al examen físico en pacientes con condiciones neurológicas y neuromusculares.


Introduction: dysphagia is a swallowing disorder that is usually neglected by health professionals, especially neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia, which can produce various symptoms, signs and secondary complications in patients. Objective: to perform a clinical characterization, including perception of dysphagia symptoms, in patients with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia of neurological and neuromuscular causes in Antioquia, Colombia between 2019 and 2021. Methodology: cross-sectional study conducted in 80 patients with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia confirmed through the Eating Assessment Tool-10, clinical assessment and/ or video fluoroscopy results of swallowing. Results: 71 patients presented central neurological causes. Cerebrovascular disease and Parkinson's disease were the most frequent etiologies. Only 18% of patients with neurological causes and 33% with neuromuscular causes reported tolerance to all food consistencies. Median of 16 points in terms of self-perception of dysphagia symptoms using the Eating Assessment Tool-10, with higher scores in patients with gastrostomy, a history of pneumonia, odynophagia, and abnormal mandibular occlusion on physical examination. In patients with neurological causes, there was a greater presence of lingual motor signs and orofacial apraxia. Conclusion: there are clinical characteristics such as a sensation of stuck food, difficulty swallowing solid foods, coughing, and choking when swallowing, which are useful in recognizing cases of oropharyngeal dysphagia, and support that this generates more symptoms than signs on physical examination in patients with neurological and neuromuscular conditions.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The Pedi-EAT-10 is a quick and simple validated tool for screening for dysphagia in the paediatric age group. The objective of our study was to translate and adapt the scale to Spanish and assess its psychometric properties, level of difficulty and speed of completion. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Following the forward and back translation and the approval by the research team of the Spanish version of the Pedi-EAT-10, we carried out a prospective study in a group of patients with dysphagia and a group of children who were healthy or had minor disease. Their legal guardians completed the questionnaire and reported the duration and difficulty of the test. RESULTS: The study included 87 cases of dysphagia and 91 controls. The Cronbach alpha for internal consistency was 0.87. Most correlations between single item scores and the total scale score were greater than 0.65 (P < .001). The Pedi-EAT-10 scores were significantly higher in patients with dysphagia in every age group (P < .001), evincing a high sensibility and specificity for the screening of dysphagia. In the control group, the mean time taken to complete the questionnaire was 2.18 ± 1.98 min, and all participants found it easy. CONCLUSIONS: We verified the validity, reliability and internal consistency of the Spanish version of the Pedi-EAT-10. It is an easy and quick instrument that can be used for screening of dysphagia in paediatric clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

AIMS: To identify risk factors present in patients with dysphagia in a population of critically ill patients. METHODS: Case series of a cohort of patients recruited in the intensive care unit (ICU) until hospital discharge. Patients who gave consent and met the inclusion criteria were recruited. The Volume-Viscosity clinical examination method was used for the screening of dysphagia. An uni- and bivariate statistical analysis was performed using odds ratio (OR) to detect risk factors for dysphagia. OUTCOMES: 103 patients were recruited from 401 possible. The mean age was 59,33 ± 13,23, men represented 76,7%. The severity of the sample was: APACHE II (12,74 ± 6,17) and Charlson (2,98 ± 3,31). 45,6% of patients showed dysphagia, obtaining significant OR values (p < 0,050) for the development of dysphagia: older age, neurological antecedents, COVID19, long stay in ICU and hospitalization, and the presence of tracheotomy. COVID19 patients represented 46,6% of the sample, so an analysis of this subgroup was performed, showing similar results, with a Charlson risk (OR:4,65; 95% CI:1,31-16,47; p = 0,014) and a hospital stay (OR: 8,50; 95%CI: 2,20-32,83; p < 0,001) On discharge from the ICU, 37,9% of the population still had dysphagia; 12,6% maintained this problem at hospital discharge. CONCLUSIONS: Almost half of our patients developed dysphagia. Clinical severity and the presence of tracheotomy were risk factors. We observed in patients with dysphagia a longer stay in both ICU and hospitalization.
