Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the influence factors on rehabilitation of Alzheimer's disease patients complicated with dysphagia.
MethodsThe swallowing training in 120 Alzheimer's disease patients complicated with dysphagia was implemented for 4 weeks.According to the recovery of dysphagia, the patients were divided into the good prognosis group and poor prognosis group.The influence factors on the recovery of swallowing function were analyzed using logistic regression analysis.
ResultsThe ratios of patients with good curative effect and poor curative effect were 84.17% and 15.83%, respectively.The differences of the severity of swallowing disorder, feeding dependence and coordination between two groups were statistically significant(P < 0.01), and the differences of age, sex, education, diabetes and hypertension between two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The degree of dysphagia(severity), feeding dependence(feeding), and visual and auditory impairment were related to the effects of swallowing rehabilitation training(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).
ConclusionsThe targeted swallowing rehabilitation training should be implemented according to the specific situation of the patients.
