Characterizing Swallowing Impairment in a Post-Lung Transplant Population
CONCLUSIONS: Swallowing impairment resulting in abnormal bolus invasion is prevalent in post-lung transplant patients. Airway invasion in this cohort was related to pharyngeal swallow impairment and resulted in modified oral intake. Our findings help expand upon prior literature, which only reported the incidence of aspiration and pathological laryngeal penetration. Our results suggest that the potential for aerodigestive system impairment and negative sequela should not be underestimated in the post-lung transplant population.PMID:37000923 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-22-00266
