- Oral and pharyngeal function in 131 institutionalized elderly patients with advanced dementia was evaluated by means of videofluoroscopic deglutition examination (VDE). Findings were normal in only nine (7%) patients. Oral-stage dysfunction was observed in 93 (71%) patients, pharyngeal dysfunction in 56 (43%), and pharyngoesophageal-segment abnormalities in 43 (33%). Multiple-stage dysfunction was noted in 55 (42%) patients. Major aspiration of contrast medium was present in 31 patients, and minor aspiration in 66. Evaluation of VDE findings prompted a change in clinical staging (degree of impairment) in 40 patients and substantial alteration in treatment planning in 28. At clinical bedside evaluation, the degree of bolus misdirection was overestimated in 19 patients with minor aspiration and underestimated in seven with major aspiration. Dementia is often associated with oral and pharyngeal impairment, and VDE can be important in diagnosis and treatment.
