Dysphagia, dehydration and premature mortality in parkinson disease

This letter is a commenting on the article recently published in Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism entitled “Association of nutritional support with survival-time in hospitalized older patients with dysphagia: a retrospective study” by Manabe and colleagues published in your esteemed journal. As the benefits of clinically assisted hydration (CAH) were not mentioned in this study, we would like to add some thoughts that may open the debate about the possible fatal cardiovascular events mediated by dehydration in PD patients with dysphagia.
