Efficacy of an Aspiration Prevention Program That Utilizes the Gugging Swallowing Screen in Older Patients

This implies that the adoption of efficient aspiration prevention methods in older patients with acute illnesses could play a pivotal role by enhancing patient outcomes and potentially mitigating the healthcare costs linked to readmissions.
