Utilization of Dysphagia Services Among Older Adults Hospitalized With Pneumonia in a Large Sample of <scp>US</scp> Hospitals
Dysphagia services were provided to less than one quarter of older adults with pneumonia in our large U.S. cohort, although rates were higher among patients with Asp-PNA and neurodegenerative disease. Future research should focus on using dysphagia screening tools to promote appropriate referrals to dysphagia services for pneumonia patients.
