Characteristics and Outcomes of COVID-19 Survivors Requiring Inpatient Rehabilitation A Comparison of Two Waves

Sergo Gabunia et al.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study compared the characteristics and outcomes of survivors of severe or critical COVID-19 admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facility during the first two waves of the pandemic. It found that patients in the second wave had higher functional independence on admission, lower incidence of dysphagia and anemia. Neurological sequela and anemia were identified as independent predictors of functional independence on admission. In conclusion, patients with functional deficits after COVID-19 should be considered for acute inpatient rehabilitation as both patient cohorts benefited from their stays in the rehabilitation facility.

Dysphagia and mechanical ventilation in SARS-COV-2 pneumonia: It's real

Luisa Bordeje Laguna et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the risk factors for dysphagia in ICU patients with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, and determine the frequency of postextubation dysphagia. The results showed that prolonged mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy, and poorer prognosis on admission were associated with dysphagia.

Nutritional parameters associated with prognosis in non-critically ill hospitalized COVID-19 patients: The NUTRI-COVID19 study

Riccardo Caccialanza et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between parameters used in nutritional screening assessment (BMI, unintentional weight loss, and reduced food intake) and clinical outcomes in non-critically ill, hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The results showed that reduced self-reported food intake before hospitalization and/or expected by physicians in the next days since admission was associated with negative clinical outcomes. There was also an interaction between obesity and multiple comorbidities. This study provides a simple parameter to identify high-risk patients and deliver prompt nutritional support.

COVID-19 is associated with oropharyngeal dysphagia and malnutrition in hospitalized patients during the spring 2020 wave of the pandemic

Alberto Martin-Martinez et al.

Summary: This prospective observational study investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) and malnutrition (MN) in COVID-19 patients during hospitalization. The results showed that the prevalence of OD and MN in COVID-19 patients was high, with OD being an independent risk factor for MN. Malnutrition prolonged the hospitalization period, and OD was associated with comorbidities, neurological symptoms, and low functionality. Patients with OD at discharge had reduced 6-month survival.

Sarcopenic Dysphagia, Malnutrition, and Oral Frailty in Elderly: A Comprehensive Review

Alessandro de Sire et al.

Summary: Frailty is a common condition in the elderly and is closely associated with a higher risk of fragility fractures, hospitalization, and mortality. Sarcopenia and dysphagia are common pathological conditions in frail older people and often coexist, leading to dehydration and malnutrition. Poor oral health is also closely related to the aging process and can affect the immune system, wound healing, and the ability to maintain proper oral hygiene in older people. Therefore, poor oral health can lead to malnutrition and frailty.

Xiao-Hong Jin et al.

Summary: Abnormal peripheral immunological features are associated with the progression of severe COVID-19, with CD8+ T cell counts and CRP levels on admission being independent predictive factors for severe COVID-19. These immunological abnormalities improve to normal levels by the second week after discharge in severe cases.

Weight loss, malnutrition, and cachexia in COVID-19: facts and numbers

Markus S. Anker et al.

Summary: Patients with COVID-19 are prone to significant weight loss and clinical cachexia. Around 37% of patients experience weight loss of ≥5%, with factors such as elevated C-reactive protein levels, impaired renal function, and longer disease duration being associated with weight loss. Assessing weight loss is crucial in evaluating cachexia in COVID-19, and treatment should focus on nutritional support and rehabilitative exercise.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Sarcopenic Dysphagia: A Scoping Review

Hidetaka Wakabayashi et al.

Summary: The study found that there are still deficiencies in the current diagnosis and treatment methods for sarcopenic dysphagia, indicating the need for further research in this area. A reliable and validated diagnostic algorithm is the most widely used diagnostic method for sarcopenic dysphagia, with only a small number of case reports published regarding medical treatment for patients with sarcopenic dysphagia. Interdisciplinary rehabilitation nutrition may be beneficial for treating patients with sarcopenic dysphagia.

Sarcopenic Dysphagia: A Narrative Review from Diagnosis to Intervention

Kuan-Cheng Chen et al.

Summary: Sarcopenia in elderly can lead to dysphagia, making early detection and intervention crucial. Various tools are available to assess swallowing-related muscle function, strength, and mass. Integrated intervention including muscle strengthening, nutrition support, and physical therapy is recommended for patients with sarcopenic dysphagia.

Sarcopenic dysphagia following COVID-19 infection: A new danger

Busra Can et al.

Summary: This case reports on an older adult male who developed sarcopenic dysphagia following severe COVID-19 pneumonia without intubation. Enteral feeding and monitoring were crucial in achieving recovery of swallowing function. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of dysphagia in COVID-19 patients, even in the absence of intubation.
