RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate occurrences of swallowing disorders after ischemic stroke. METHOD: This was a retrospective study on 596 medical files. The inclusion criterion was that the patients needed to have been hospitalized with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke; the exclusion criteria were the presence of associated cardiac problems and hospital stay already more than 14 days. RESULTS: 50.5% were men and 49.5% women; mean age 65.3 years (SD= ± 11.7) (p ≤ 0.001). Among the risk factors, 79.4% had hypertension, 36.7% had diabetes (p ≤ 0.001) and 42.7% were smokers. 13.3% of the patients died. Swallowing disorders occurred in 19.6%, among whom 91.5% had mild difficulty and 8.5% had severe difficulty. 87.1% had spontaneous recovery after a mean of 2.4 months. A lesion in the brainstem region occurred in 6.8% (p ≤ 0.001). CONCLUSION: Swallowing disorders occurred in almost 20% of the population and most of the difficulty in swallowing found was mild. The predictors for swallowing disorders were older age, diabetes mellitus and lesions in the brainstem region.

Among the risk factors, 79.4 percent had hypertension, 36.7 percent had diabetes (p<0.001) and 42.7 percent were smokers. 13.3 percent of the patients died.

OBJETIVO: Verificar alteração da deglutição após acidente cerebrovascular isquêmico (AVCI). MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo de 596 prontuários. Critérios de inclusão: pacientes hospitalizados com diagnóstico de AVCI. Critérios de exclusão: pacientes com problemas cardíacos associados e com mais de 14 dias de internação. RESULTADOS: 50,5 por cento homens e 49,5 por cento mulheres, idade média 65,3 anos (DP=±11,7) (p<0,001). Entre os fatores de risco, 79,4 por cento hipertensão arterial, 36,7 por cento diabetes (p<0,001), 42,7 por cento tabagismo. Óbito ocorreu em 13,3 por cento dos pacientes. Alteração de deglutição ocorreu em 19,6 por cento, sendo 91,5 por cento com dificuldade leve e 8,5 por cento com dificuldade grave; 87,1 por cento tiveram recuperação espontânea com tempo médio de 2,4 meses. A lesão em região de tronco encefálico ocorreu em 6,8 por cento (p<0,001). CONCLUSÃO: A alteração da deglutição ocorreu em quase 20 por cento da população e a dificuldade de deglutição mais encontrada foi a leve. Os fatores preditores para alteração de deglutição foram aumento da idade, diabetes mellitus e lesão em região de tronco encefálico.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the spontaneous recovery of the verbal language on patients who have had an ischemic stroke. METHOD: Retrospective analysis of 513 medical records. We characterize referring aspects for data identification, language deficit, spontaneous recovery and speech therapy. RESULTS: The average age was 62.2 years old (SD= +/-12.3), the average time of academic experience was 4.5 years (SD=+/-3.9), 245 (47.7%) patients presented language disturbance, 166 (54.0%) presented spontaneous recovery, from which 145 (47.2%) had expression deficit (p=0.001); 12 (3.9%) had comprehension deficit and 9 (2.9%) had both expression and comprehension deficit. Speech therapy was carried with 15 patients (4.8%) (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: The verbal language spontaneous recovery occurred in most of the patients being taken care of at the stroke out clinic, and expression disturbance was the most identified alteration. As expected, the left hemisphere was associated with the deficit and smoking and pregressive stroke were the language alteration primary associated factors.

OBJETIVO: Analisar a recuperação espontânea da linguagem verbal em pacientes que sofreram acidente cerebrovascular isquêmico (AVCI). MÉTODO: Análise retrospectiva de 513 prontuários. Caracterizamos aspectos referentes aos dados de identificação, déficit de linguagem, recuperação espontânea, realização de tratamento fonoaudiológico. RESULTADOS: A média de idade foi 62,2 anos (DP=±12,3), o nível de escolaridade teve média de 4,5 anos (DP=±3,9), 245 (47,7 por cento) pacientes apresentaram alteração de linguagem, 166 (54,0 por cento) apresentaram recuperação espontânea sendo 145 (47,2 por cento) do déficit de expressão (p=0,001), 12 (3,9 por cento) de compreensão e 9 (2,9 por cento) misto. A realização de tratamento fonoaudiológico foi encontrada em 15 (4,8 por cento) (p=0,001). CONCLUSÃO: A recuperação espontânea da linguagem verbal ocorreu na maioria dos pacientes atendidos no ambulatório de AVCI e a alteração mais encontrada foi de expressão. Como esperado o hemisfério esquerdo associou-se ao déficit, sendo o tabagismo e AVC pregresso fatores preditores de alteração de linguagem.
