本研究的目的是探讨口咽吞咽困难是否是老年人社区获得性肺炎（CAP）的危险因素，并评估肺炎患者的吞咽生理学。在病例对照研究中，36例因肺炎住院的老年患者（年龄>= 70岁）按年龄和性别进行匹配，并与两名独立生活的对照组进行对照。所有受试者都进行了体积粘度吞咽试验，以确定口咽吞咽困难的迹象。在病理生理研究中，所有病例和10名健康老年人均采用透视检查。在病例对照研究中，口咽吞咽困难的患病率为91.7%，对照组为40.3%
The aim of this study was to explore whether oropharyngeal dysphagia is a risk factor for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the elderly and to assess the physiology of deglutition of patients with pneumonia.In the case-control study, 36 elderly patients (aged >= 70 years) hospitalised with pneumonia were matched by age and sex with two independently living controls. All subjects were given the volume-viscosity swallow test to identify signs of oropharyngeal dysphagia. In the pathophysiological study, all cases and 10 healthy elderly subjects were examined using videofluoroscopy.Prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia in the case-control study was 91.7% in cases and 40.3% in controls (p
