ABSTRACT

Dysphagia is a term that describes difficulty swallowing. Patients with dysphagia, in addition to the risk of pneumonia due to food and drink entering the lungs and infection, also have an increased risk of severe malnutrition and dehydration due to reduced food and fluid intake. Malnutrition itself additionally affects the deterioration of the loss of muscle function, the rehabilitation of the act of swallowing and increases the risk of infection.
