Survey of dysphagia and related medications in nursing home residents using the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) applied by community pharmacists: A single-center retrospective study
This study identified a significant association between antipsychotic drug use and reduced swallowing function. Medication reviews incorporating assessments of swallowing function may help mitigate the risk of aspiration. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings and to clarify causal relationship between medication use and swallowing dysfunction.
