Her i foråret har Tina Hansen, Anne Marie Beck, Ingrid Poulsen og jeg revideret vores tidligere artikel om anbefalinger til mad og drikke med modificeret konsistens til voksne med øvre dysfagi.
Det er blevet til en 5 sider lang artikel om det systematiske review og evidensbaserede anbefalinger vedr. konsistensen af mad til voksne med dysfagi.
Baggrunden for at revidere artiklen
“In 2016 we updated an original clinical guideline on OD in adults.
Based on the strength of the evidence of two randomized control trials (RCTs), we provided a
weak clinical recommendation against the use of thickening agents for liquid and none for diet.
In the hope of finding new scientific evidence, we aimed to update the clinical guideline by examining the evidence if thickening of liquid and diet
1) improve survival and quality of life
2) reduce the occurrence of aspiration risk and pneumonia
3) improve dehydration, nutritional status, and mealtime performance, and
4) relate to patient preferences and intervention adherence.”
