Aims
Study the association of Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSImP) scores with clinical outcomes in Parkinson’s Disease patients.
Background
Dysphagia in Parkinson’s patients increases pneumonia risk, with no prior studies linking swallowing metrics to clinical outcomes.
Methods
Analysed MBSImP scores in 157 patients categorized by feeding mode (oral, enteral, rejected enteral) using Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression.
Results
Higher pharyngeal and combined scores significantly predicted pneumonia and choking risks; enteral feeding reversed some risks.
Conclusion
MBSImP scores effectively predict outcomes, highlighting their role in tailored patient management and education.
Lessons Learnt
Compliance with feeding recommendations can mitigate risks associated with swallowing dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease.
Additional Information
Recognized at Allied Health Research Forum for advancing applied research.
