[PMID: 38979808 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.033949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tracheostomy procedures inhibit swallowing, although details of subsequent recovery of oral intake remain unknown. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate factors influencing dysphagia improvement in patients with subacute stroke after tracheostomy. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 117 patients who underwent tracheostomy after subacute stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, or endogenous subarachnoid hemorrhage and received care at 2 convalescent rehabilitation wards in urban and suburban Japan between 2015 and 2022. The primary outcome measure was the achievement of complete oral intake. Patient demographics, Functional Independence Measure scores, body mass index, food intake level scale scores, and the presence of severe white matter hyperintensities on imaging were retrospectively collected from medical records. Statistical analysis involved univariate logistic regression to identify potential predictors and multivariate logistic regression to refine the model while accounting for multicollinearity. In total, 47% of patients achieved complete oral intake on discharge. Sex, days from onset to admission, Functional Independence Measure motor and cognitive scores, body mass index, food intake level scale scores, and severe white matter hyperintensities were identified as potential predictors in the univariate analysis. However, multivariate logistic regression identified only food intake level scale scores (odds ratio [OR], 3.687 [95% CI, 1.519-8.949]; P=0.004) and severe white matter hyperintensities (OR, 0.302 [95% CI, 0.096-0.956]; P=0.042) as significant predictors of complete oral intake. CONCLUSIONS In patients with subacute stroke undergoing tracheostomy, the level of oral intake on admission and severe white matter hyperintensities on imaging may be better predictors of complete oral intake. However, prospective studies with larger sample sizes and more comprehensive data are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke patients with dysphagia and family caregivers will experience multiple transitions during the whole process of the disease and various nursing needs will be generated. There is a lack of knowledge about their experiences at different transition stages. Thus, we aimed to explore the transition experiences of patients with post stroke dysphagia and family caregivers from admission to discharge home. METHODS A semi-structured interview based on Meleis's transition theory was used during hospitalization and telephone follow-up interviews were conducted in the first, third, and sixth month after the diagnosis of dysphagia. Interview transcripts were analyzed using the conventional content analysis method. RESULTS A total of 17 participants enrolled in the first face-to-face interview, 16 participants took part in the first month's telephone follow-up interview, 14 participants in the third month, and 12 participants in the sixth month. The transition experiences of patients with post stroke dysphagia and family caregivers could be summarized into three themes: (1)transition from onset to admission; (2)transition from discharge to other rehabilitation institutions; and (3)transition from discharge to home. Each theme had identified interrelated subthemes. CONCLUSIONS The experiences of patients with post stroke dysphagia and family caregivers during transition are a dynamic process with enormous challenges in each phase. Collaboration with health care professionals, follow-up support after discharge, and available community and social support should be integrated into transitional nursing to help patients facilitate their transition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct a prognostic model for unsuccessful removal of nasogastric tube (NGT) was the aim of our study. METHODS This study examined patients with swallowing disorders receiving NGT feeding due to stroke or traumatic brain injury in a regional hospital. Clinical data was collected, such as age, sex, body mass index (BMI), level of activities of daily living (ADLs) dependence. Additionally, gather information regarding the enhancement in Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) levels and the increase in food types according to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) after one month of swallowing training. A stepwise logistic regression analysis model was employed to predict NGT removal failure using these parameters. RESULTS Out of 203 patients, 53 patients (26.1%) had experienced a failed removal of NGT after six months of follow-up. The strongest predictors for failed removal were age over 60 years, underweight BMI, total dependence in ADLs, and ischemic stroke. The admission prediction model categorized patients into high, moderate, and low-risk groups for removal failure. The failure rate of NGT removal was high not only in the high-risk group but also in the moderate-risk groups when there was no improvement in FOIS levels and IDDSI food types. CONCLUSION Our predictive model categorizes patients with brain insults into risk groups for swallowing disorders, enabling advanced interventions such as percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy for high-risk patients struggling with NGT removal, while follow-up assessments using FOIS and IDDSI aid in guiding rehabilitation decisions for those at moderate risk.

Abstract
Dysphagia is one of the most common symptoms of stroke and can lead to other complications such as pneumonia, dehydration, and malnutrition. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the predictive value of a comprehensive swallowing assessment tool, the Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability (MASA), in the acute phase of stroke for oral intake status at discharge. Among 1,133 consecutive patients with acute stroke, 512 patients whose swallowing function was assessed using the MASA within 24 h of admission were included. Data including demographic information, stroke severity, MASA, Oral Health Assessment Tool, body mass index, and serum albumin level were collected. Predictive factors for oral intake were analyzed using a multiple logistic regression model, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the cutoff values of the MASA score for determining oral intake at discharge. Oral intake at discharge was established in 69.1% of the cohort (354/512). The multiple logistic regression analysis identified a higher MASA score, younger age, and higher serum albumin level as significant predictors of oral intake at discharge. The cutoff value of the MASA score for oral intake was 136.5 points, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.87. These findings suggest that the MASA is a valid tool for predicting oral intake in patients with dysphagia during the acute phase of stroke.

Abstract
The risk of pneumonia and death is higher in acute stroke patients with signs of pulmonary infection on chest computed tomography (CT) at admission. However, few reports have examined the incidence of pneumonia and its predictors in subacute stroke patients. The aim of this study was to examine factors related to post-stroke pneumonia in subacute stroke patients. A total of 340 subacute stroke patients were included. Univariable logistic regression analysis was performed using variables that may contribute to pneumonia, with the development of pneumonia as the dependent variable. Multivariable logistic regression analysis using the three independent variables with the lowest p-values on the univariable logistic regression analysis was also performed to calculate adjusted odds ratios. Twenty-two patients developed pneumonia during hospitalization. The univariable logistic regression analysis showed that the top three items were serum albumin (Alb), functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) score, and signs of pulmonary infection on chest CT at admission. Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for these three items showed that the presence of signs of pulmonary infection on chest CT at admission was the independent variable (OR: 4.45; 95% CI: 1.54-12.9). When signs of pulmonary infection are seen on admission chest CT, careful follow-up is necessary because pneumonia is significantly more likely to occur during hospitalization.

Abstract
PURPOSE Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is a common sequela of stroke. Given the association between dysphagia and sarcopenia, we aimed to investigate the association between PSD and temporal muscle thickness (TMT) and masseter muscle thickness (MMT) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with large-vessel occlusion (LVO). METHODS This retrospective cohort study included hospitalized patients with LVO stroke who underwent EVT between January 1, 2018, and October 31, 2022. TMT and MMT were measured using brain computed tomography (CT) angiography. The correlation between relevant clinicodemographic factors and both TMT and MMT was examined. The relationship between each of two parameters (TMT and MMT) and PSD, which was defined as the retention of the nasogastric (NG) tube at 4 and 12 weeks, was evaluated in adjusted logistic regression models. RESULTS Among the 148 participants, the mean TMT and MMT was 5.9 ± 1.6 and 11.2 ± 2.3 mm, respectively. Lower age, male sex, higher body mass index (BMI), higher albumin levels, and a lower initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score were associated with higher TMT and MMT (p < 0.05). In the logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, BMI, serum albumin, and NIHSS score, lower TMT and MMT significantly correlated with PSD at weeks 4 and 12 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION TMT and MMT are associated with age, sex, BMI, albumin, and the initial NIHSS score. Both TMT and MMT are independent indicators of post-EVT PSD in stroke patients and serve as reliable predictors of NG removal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poststroke dysphagia (PSD) recovery depends on various factors. We aimed to provide evidence concerning predictive variables for the recovery of PSD. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, VIP database of Chinese periodicals, Chinese biomedical literature service system (SinoMed), and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched up to September 21, 2022. According to the inclusion criteria, the literature searched in the database was screened. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Meta-analysis was performed to identify the factors prognostic for PSD. RESULTS Twenty-eight studies were eligible, and pooled analyses were allowed for 12 potential prognostic factors. We identified older age, higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, lower activities of daily living (ADL) score, lower body mass index (BMI), severe dysphagia on admission, aspiration, brainstem stroke, severe cognitive impairment, and bilateral hemispheric stroke were negative factors for the recovery of PSD, while early intervention and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) = 0 before onset were protective factors for the recovery of PSD. There was no significant association between stroke type and prognosis of PSD. CONCLUSION Prognostic factors of PSD summarized in this meta-analysis could be useful for developing reasonable treatment plan to better promote recovery of swallowing function after stroke.

Abstract
Objectives: This study investigated the factors contributing to complete oral intake (COI) in dysphagic stroke patients with enteral feeding tubes in the local clinical setting. Methods: Data of patients with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) or nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding on admission to convalescent rehabilitation wards (CRWs) were extracted from the Kaga Regional Cooperation Clinical Pathway for Stroke database for multiple centers including 19 acute care hospitals and 11 hospitals with CRWs. Patients were divided into two groups based on their status regarding COI or incomplete oral intake (ICOI) at discharge. Logistic regression analysis with forced-entry variables was used to identify factors contributing to COI. Results: On discharge from CRWs, COI and ICOI were observed in 140 and 207 cases, respectively. The COI group was younger, had a higher rate of initial stroke, higher Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) scores, higher Functional Independence Measure (FIM) motor and cognitive scores, higher Body Mass Index (BMI), lower rate of patients with PEG, and shorter stays in acute care wards. Logistic regression analysis with forced entry revealed that younger age; initial stroke; higher FOIS score, FIM cognitive score, and BMI; and shorter stay in the acute care ward contributed to COI. Conclusions: The primary factors contributing to COI in dysphagic stroke patients with enteral feeding tubes were younger age, initial stroke, higher swallowing and cognitive function, good nutritional status, and shorter stay in the acute care ward.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It remains unclear which factors contribute to dysphagia recovery after an acute stroke. This study aimed to identify factors associated with complete oral intake recovery in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. METHODS Data were obtained from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, which is a nationwide database of administrative claims and discharge abstracts in Japan. We selected patients admitted within 3 days of stroke onset and conducted multivariable logistic regression analysis. Total oral intake within 30 days of admission was the primary outcome measure. RESULTS A total of 151,302 patients were included, and total oral intake was observed in 48% of them within 30 days of admission. Total oral intake was significantly associated with age, sex, stroke subtype, consciousness disturbance, low body mass index, multiple comorbidities, and the modified Rankin Scale before stroke onset. In addition, males had worse outcomes than females (odds ratio, 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.73-0.77, p < 0.001), and intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke subtypes were associated with non-recovery. CONCLUSION This study identified several prognostic factors for total oral intake in patients with acute stroke. These results may be useful for predicting a patient's dysphagia prognosis at the time of admission and designing a nutritional management plan for patients with acute stroke.

[PMID: 36364757 PMCID: PMC9655070 DOI: 10.3390/nu14214494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The accuracy of body mass index (BMI) for sarcopenic dysphagia diagnosis, which remains unknown, was evaluated in this study among patients with dysphagia. We conducted a 19-site cross-sectional study. We registered 467 dysphagic patients aged ≥ 20 years. Sarcopenic dysphagia was assessed using a reliable and validated diagnostic algorithm. BMI was assessed using the area under the curve (AUC) in the receiver operating characteristic analysis to determine diagnostic accuracy for sarcopenic dysphagia. The study included 460 patients (median age, 83.0 years (76.0−88.0); men, 49.8%). The median BMI was 19.9 (17.3−22.6) kg/m2. Two hundred eighty-four (61.7%) patients had sarcopenic dysphagia. The AUC for sarcopenic dysphagia was 0.60−0.62 in the overall patients, male, female, and patients aged ≥ 65 years The BMI cut-off value for sarcopenic dysphagia diagnosis was 20.1 kg/m2 in the overall patients (sensitivity, 58.1%; specificity, 60.2%) and patients aged ≥ 65 years (sensitivity, 59.8%; specificity, 61.8%). Conclusion: Although the AUC, sensitivity and specificity of BMI for sarcopenic dysphagia diagnosis was approximately 0.6, BMI < 20.0 kg/m2 might be a predictor for sarcopenic dysphagia. In clinical settings, if patients with dysphagia have a BMI < 20.0 kg/m2, then sarcopenic dysphagia should be suspected as early as possible after admission.

Akazawa N, Kishi M, Hino T, Tsuji R, Tamura K, Hioka A, Moriyama H. The degree of recovery in swallowing ability in older inpatients with aspiration pneumonia is related to intramuscular adipose tissue of the quadriceps than to muscle mass. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0275810. [PMID: 36215269 PMCID: PMC9550090 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0275810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIM A recent study reported that the increase in intramuscular adipose tissue of the quadriceps in older inpatients is related to a decreasing degree of recovery in swallowing ability compared to the loss of muscle mass. However, whether the association remains true in case of aspiration pneumonia is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between the degree of recovery in swallowing ability and intramuscular adipose tissue in the quadriceps of older inpatients with aspiration pneumonia. METHODS This prospective study included 39 older patients with aspiration pneumonia. Swallowing ability was assessed using the Food Intake Level Scale (FILS). The indicators for the degree of recovery in swallowing ability were FILS at discharge and change in FILS. A greater change in FILS indicates a greater improvement in swallowing ability. Intramuscular adipose tissue and muscle mass of the quadriceps were evaluated at admission using echo intensity and muscle thickness on ultrasound images, respectively. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine whether the echo intensity of the quadriceps was independently and significantly related to FILS at discharge and the change in FILS. Independent variables were age, sex, days from disease onset, echo intensity and muscle thickness of the quadriceps, subcutaneous fat thickness of the thigh, FILS at admission, and number of units of rehabilitation therapy. RESULTS Echo intensity of the quadriceps (β = -0.363, p = 0.012) and FILS at admission (β = 0.556, p < 0.001) were independently and significantly associated with FILS at discharge (R2 = 0.760, f2 = 3.167, statistical power = 1.000). Similar variables (echo intensity of the quadriceps [β = -0.498, p = 0.012] and FILS at admission [β = -0.635, p < 0.001]) were independently and significantly related to change in FILS (R2 = 0.547, f2 = 1.208, statistical power = 0.998). Quadriceps muscle thickness was not independently and significantly related to FILS at discharge and change in FILS. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that intramuscular adipose tissue of the quadriceps in older inpatients with aspiration pneumonia is more strongly related to the degree of recovery in swallowing ability (that is, swallowing ability at discharge and change in swallowing ability) than muscle mass, and patients who have high intramuscular adipose tissue of the quadriceps at admission have a lower degree of recovery in swallowing ability.

J Clin Nurs 2022; 32:2533-2546. [PMID: 35676778 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.16404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The aim was to synthesise and discuss predictors of complete oral feeding resumption after feeding tube placement in stroke patients with dysphagia. DESIGN This was a systematic review, following the PRISMA 2020 checklist. DATA SOURCES Eight databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, CNKI, WanFang and Vip) were searched for eligible studies from inception up to June 2021. REVIEW METHODS The JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis was used to guide this systematic review. Any cross-sectional survey, longitudinal study, cohort study or case-control study that explored the recovery from tube feeding to complete oral feeding in patients with dysphagia after stroke was included. Qualitative studies, review articles, case reports and conference abstracts were excluded. Two reviewers independently screened and appraised the studies. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used for quality assessment. Content analysis was used to categorise factors predicting feeding tube removal in stroke patients with dysphagia. RESULTS This review included a total of 15 studies consisting of 1746 participants, of which 2 were case-control studies and 13 were cohort studies. Four studies were rated as having low risk of bias, and the other 11 had high risk of bias. The factors examined in the studies were categorised into demographic characteristics (age and sex), swallowing function (instrumental assessments and non-instrumental assessments), stroke characteristics (stroke severity, past stroke history and location of the stroke), functional status (cognitive function and physical function) and clinical measures (body mass index, geriatric nutritional risk index, white blood cell count and C-reactive protein level). CONCLUSIONS The major limitation of this review is the failure to identify predictors of different tube feeding types. Although the current evidence is insufficient to support or oppose the predictive effect of any single factor, these factors are still valuable data for clinical staff that provide information that researchers can use in developing prognostic models. Rigorously designed and high-quality research is needed to further explore the predictive value of these factors. REGISTRATION This review was registered prospectively with PROSPERO [CRD42021272552]. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Healthcare providers should strengthen the monitoring of swallowing function in patients with stroke to promote complete oral feeding resumption. As the predictive value of the identified factors is still uncertain, large, well-designed, studies are needed to better clarify the importance of these predictors. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION No patient or public was involved in the design, analysis, preparation or writing of this review.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to predict nasogastric tube (NGT) removal in patients with poststroke dysphagia (PSD) by non-swallowing function assessment. Methods We enrolled 232 eligible patients and performed rehabilitation. The Fugl-Meyer assessment motor (FMM) and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were used to measure the motor and overall nervous system functions. Predictors for NGT removal in patients with PSD after rehabilitation were analyzed. Results Of the 232 included patients, the NGTs were removed from 78% of them, while 22% were dependent on a feeding tube after 4 weeks of rehabilitation. Compared to the preserved NGT group, older age, a higher rate of intubation or tracheostomy, and more severe baseline functions were found in the NGT removal group. Age [odds ratio (OR) = 0.907; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.859-0.957; p = 0.000], difference in the FMM score after 4 weeks of rehabilitation (OR = 1.219; 95% CI: 1.145-1.299; p = 0.00), and item 9 of NIHSS (OR = 0.488; 95% CI: 0.252-0.946; p = 0.034) were predictors of NGT removal after rehabilitation. Conclusion We established a predictive model in patients with PSD using a non-swallowing assessment, which enabled us to predict swallowing recovery based on the non-swallowing function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, variables predicting the recovery of dysphagia in patients after dysphagic stroke have not been well defined. However, despite the difficulties in predicting and understanding the dysphagia recovery trajectory, its significance for stroke care cannot be understated. This study aims to identify the factors for functional swallowing recovery and develop nomograms that predict dysphagia recovery after stroke. METHODS The demographic, neurological, and swallowing characteristics were compared between patients who recovered from dysphagia and those who did not. Then, the factors with P <.1 through comparison were enrolled in the multivariable logistic regression analysis to build a prediction model. A nomogram was also built to provide a quantitative tool. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of the prediction model were assessed by using the C index, calibration plot, and decision curve analysis. RESULTS Predictors in the early-phase (T7) prediction nomogram included age, Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NHISS), hemispheric stroke, and brainstem stroke on admission. In the middle phase (T14), predictors included age, FOIS, and NHISS on admission. In the late phase (T30), predictors included age, FOIS, NHISS, bilateral stroke, and body mass index on admission. The C index for the day 7, day 14, and day 30 prediction nomograms were 0.847 (95% CI, 0.804-0.884), 0.817 (95% CI, 0.772-0.857), and 0.786 (95% CI, 0.739-0.829). CONCLUSION These novel nomograms predicting dysphagia recovery after ischemic stroke are discriminative and well calibrated and could be used to guide enteral nutrition decision making, rehabilitation plans, and individualized care.

Nutritional Assessment in Adult Patients with Dysphagia: A Scoping Review. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13030778.

Abstract
Malnutrition negatively affects the quality of life of patients with dysphagia. Despite the need for nutritional status assessment in patients with dysphagia, standard, effective nutritional assessments are not yet available, and the identification of optimal nutritional assessment items for patients with dysphagia is inadequate. We conducted a scoping review of the use of nutritional assessment items in adult patients with oropharyngeal and esophageal dysphagia. The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched to identify articles published in English within the last 30 years. Twenty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Seven nutritional assessment categories were identified: body mass index (BMI), nutritional screening tool, anthropometric measurements, body composition, dietary assessment, blood biomarkers, and other. BMI and albumin were more commonly assessed in adults. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM), defining new diagnostic criteria for malnutrition, includes the categories of BMI, nutritional screening tool, anthropometric measurements, body composition, and dietary assessment as its required components, but not the blood biomarkers and the “other” categories. We recommend assessing nutritional status, including GLIM criteria, in adult patients with dysphagia. This would standardize nutritional assessments in patients with dysphagia and allow future global comparisons of the prevalence and outcomes of malnutrition, as well as of appropriate interventions.

Abstract
Background The long-term outcomes of artificial nutrition in older people with dysphagia remain uncertain. Enteral nutrition via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is one of the major methods of artificial nutrition. Enteral feeding is indicated for patients with a functional gastrointestinal tract. However, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is often inappropriately chosen for artificial nutrition in Japan, even in patients with a functional gastrointestinal tract, as PEG has recently been viewed as an unnecessary life-prolonging treatment in Japan. This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes between PEG and TPN. Methods This single-center retrospective cohort study investigated long-term outcomes in older patients with dysphagia who received PEG or TPN between January 2014 and January 2017. The primary outcome was survival time. Secondary outcomes were oral intake recovery, discharge to home, and the incidence of severe pneumonia and sepsis. We performed 1-to-1 propensity score matching using a 0.05 caliper. The Kaplan–Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox regression analysis were used to compare the survival time between groups. Results We identified 253 patients who received PEG (n = 180) or TPN (n = 73). Older patients, those with lower nutritional states, and severe dementia were more likely to receive TPN. Propensity score matching created 55 pairs. Survival time was significantly longer in the PEG group (median, 317 vs 195 days; P = 0.017). The hazard ratio for PEG relative to TPN was 0.60 (95% confidence interval: 0.39–0.92; P = 0.019). There were no significant differences between the groups in oral intake recovery and discharge to home. The incidence of severe pneumonia was significantly higher in the PEG group (50.9% vs 25.5%, P = 0.010), whereas sepsis was significantly higher in the TPN group (10.9% vs 30.9%, P = 0.018). Conclusions PEG was associated with a significantly longer survival time, a higher incidence of severe pneumonia, and a lower incidence of sepsis compared with TPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysphagia is common after stroke, requiring exclusive enteral feeding in 20% of patients. Recovery of oral feeding is associated with increased quality of life, better functional outcomes, and decreased mortality rates. However, evidence is heterogeneous and not conclusive on which factors are predictive of oral feeding recovery for stroke patients in rehabilitation units. AIM To investigate predictors of complete oral feeding recovery. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Intensive inpatient rehabilitation hospital. POPULATION Poststroke dysphagic individuals with enteral feeding. METHODS Retrospective chart review of demographic, clinical, rehabilitation, and swallowing factors. Univariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis were used to compare variables between the oral feeding recovery group and the enteral feeding group at discharge. RESULTS One hundred thirty-nine patients were included in the analysis. A total of 61.9% of the sample population resumed complete oral intake at discharge. There were statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in Functional Independence Measure cognitive score, clinical swallow evaluation, and instrumental swallow evaluation at admittance, and dysphagia rehabilitation. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified the absence of aspiration signs with liquids associated with a higher probability of the resumption of complete oral feeding (odds ratio [OR] 3.57; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-11.89). Age between 73 and 79 years (OR .96; 95% CI .01-.58), the presence of aspiration and/or penetration (OR .22; 95% CI .07-.72), and the presence of residue (OR .14; 95%CI .04-.43) during fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing presented lower probability of returning to complete oral feeding. CONCLUSION Several demographic and swallowing characteristics predicted oral feeding recovery. Absence of dysphagia signs documented on fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing was the strongest predictor of complete oral feeding resumption.

Abstract
Uromodulin (UMOD) encodes an uromodulin glycoprotein, and its mutation results in uromodulin glycoprotein dysfunction and the occurrence of gout. The aim of our study was to assess whether UMOD methylation could predict the risk of gout. A total of 89 sporadic gout cases and 103 age and gender-matched healthy controls were recruited in this study. UMOD methylation level was determined by quantitative methylation-specific PCR (qMSP) in peripheral blood, and the percentage of methylated reference (PMR) was described to represent the methylation level. Our results showed that UMOD methylation was significantly higher in gout cases than controls (median: 1.45 versus 0.75, P < 0.001). The area under curve (AUC) of UMOD methylation in gout was 0.764 (P = 2.90E-10) with a sensitivity of 65.2% and a specificity of 88.3%. UMOD methylation level was shown to be significantly correlated with the serum level of uric acid (UA) (r = −0.208, P = 0.035). Besides, the luciferase reporter assay showed that UMOD CpG island region was able to upregulate gene expression (fold change = 2, P = 0.004). In conclusion, UMOD methylation assessment might be used to predict the occurrence of gout.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy may be performed in dysphagic stroke patients. However, some patients regain complete oral intake without gastrostomy. This study aimed to investigate the predictive factors of intake, thereby determining gastrostomy indications. METHOD Stroke survivors admitted to our convalescent rehabilitation ward who underwent gastrostomy or nasogastric tube placement from 2009 to 2015 were divided into 2 groups based on intake status at discharge. Demographic data and Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Dysphagia Severity Scale (DSS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores on admission were compared between groups. We evaluated the factors predicting intake using a stepwise logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Thirty-four patients recovered intake, whereas 38 achieved incomplete intake. Mean age was lower, mean body mass index (BMI) was higher, and mean time from stroke onset to admission was shorter in the complete intake group. The complete intake group had less impairment in terms of GCS, FIM, and DSS scores. In the stepwise logistic regression analysis, BMI, FIM-cognitive score, and DSS score were significant independent factors predicting intake. The formula of BMI × .26 + FIM cognitive score × .19 + DSS score × 1.60 predicted recovery of complete intake with a sensitivity of 88.2% and a specificity of 84.2%. CONCLUSIONS Stroke survivors with dysphagia with a high BMI and FIM-cognitive and DSS scores tended to recover oral intake.
