Abstract

Background & Aims

Oral phase dysphagia is dependent on ability to chew. As people age, general muscle atrophy contributes to decreased masseter strength. The main objective of this study was to assess the relationship between the thickness of the masseter muscle measured by ultrasonography and the presence of dysphagia in a group of institutionalized elderly people. As a secondary objective, we aimed to establish cutoff points of masseters muscle thickness (MMT) to identify elderly individuals at risk of oral dysphagia.

Methods

Cross-sectional study of all residents from 3 nursing homes. All individuals underwent ultrasonographic measurements of left and right MMT and were classified according to the presence of dysphagia assessed by both the EAT-10 screening questionnaire and the volume‐viscosity swallow test (V‐VST).

Results

469 patients (69% women, mean age 84.7 yrs) were recruited. Dysphagia was present in 41.6% and 26% of individuals according the EAT-10 and V-VST, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression showed that 1 mm increase in MMT reduced the risk of dysphagia by 21% according to the EAT-10 tool and by 30% using the V-VST after adjusting for age, sex, mini-nutritional assessment score, and body mass index. We used receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curves to identify cutoff points of MMT to detect dysphagic individuals according to either EAT-10 or V-VST.

Conclusions

The MMT measured by ultrasonography is reduced in elderly individuals with dysphagia. Based on MMT, clinicians may be better informed about the patients'´ ability to masticate solid foods and identify potential nutrient deficiencies in geriatric settings

Die Herausforderung des Burning-Mouth-Syndroms meistern

Das Burning-Mouth-Syndrom geht mit einem hohen Leidensdruck einher und führt oft zu einer frustranen Odyssee durch verschiedene Arztpraxen. Lässt sich keine ursächliche Grunderkrankung dingfest machen, können verschiedene symptomatische Behandlungsansätze versucht werden. 

Kopf-Hals-Tumoren: Wann eine Therapiedeeskalation und wann eine Prähabilitation?

Karzinome im Kopf-Hals-Bereich und deren Behandlung bedeuten eine erhebliche Belastung für die Betroffenen. Umso wichtiger sind Konzepte beispielsweise zur Therapiedeeskalation bei HPV-positiven Oropharynxkarzinomen oder zur Prähabilitation.

Welchen Stellenwert hat die Tonsillektomie?

Immer wieder wird kontrovers diskutiert, ob und wann eine Tonsillenchirurgie bei rezidivierender akuter Tonsillitis indiziert ist. Evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen erleichtern die praktische Entscheidungsfindung.

Neue endoskopische Wege beim Globusgefühl

Ein „Kloß im Hals“ kann viele Ursachen haben. Moderne Versorgungskonzepte des Globusgefühls sollten eine umfassende Abklärung aus verschiedenen „Blickwinkeln“ und eine interdisziplinäre Behandlung umfassen.
