Risk Factors for Home Care Discontinuation Among Older People With Dysphagia: A Two‐Year Retrospective Cohort Study
In older adults receiving home care, severe dysphagia was a major risk factor for home care discontinuation, with malnutrition and a history of pneumonia suggested as potential contributing factors. These findings indicate that improving nutritional status, maintaining and enhancing swallowing function and providing appropriate management for individuals with a history of pneumonia are crucial for ensuring continuous home care.
