Status of dysphagia after ischemic stroke: A Korean nationwide study
Post-stroke dysphagia is a common symptom in stroke patients. It is known that 13% to 18% of patients have persistent symptoms of dysphagia until 6 months after onset.1, 2 Dysphagia increases the risks of aspiration, associated complications (e.g., aspiration pneumonia), malnutrition, poor prognostic outcomes,3 and increased mortality.4 Early detection and treatment of dysphagia in stroke patients are crucial to prevent adverse complications, decrease the length of hospital stay, and reduce the health-care costs.
