Sent from Sl?: Drinks Founder. Dysphagia only means drink differently, not have different drinks!
We recently came across the above paper?via Pere Clave?on LinkedIn.?
He is the Director of Research, Innovation and Academic Development. Hospital de Mataró,?Catalonia, Spain. With a special interest in?Dysphagia?he is?the?founding member of?the?European?Society for?Swallowing?Disorders.?
The?objective?was to review literature?available?and to define consensus statements on the screening and the diagnosis of dysphagia in PD, as well as on the impact of dysphagia on the prognosis and quality of life of PD patients.?
The conclusion of the research provides a framework to?guide the neurologist?in?the?timely detection and accurate diagnosis of dysphagia in PD.?
Regular readers of our post will know that there is very little existing or new research on dysphagia.?
This?is therefore incredibly useful and rare. Created with input from a multinational team?it?collated multiple sources to?provide a useful framework for healthcare professionals.?
