“…However, Arnold et al [28] reported a higher smoking prevalence (38.7%) in patients with swallowing disorders, certainly related to lifestyle habits different from ours.

Swallowing disorders are common in stroke and cause significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determinate the frequency of swallowing disorders and its impact on the prognosis of stroke, as well as the contribution of the local feeding protocol at University Hospital of Brazzaville. An interventional study was carried out between March and August 2016 in the department of neurology, with a follow-up of three months. It included all patients hospitalized for stroke and swallowing disorders. If necessary, a nasogastric tube was placed and local feeding protocol was initiated. Among 219 patients admitted for stroke, 59 (26.9%) had swallowing disorders. The DePippo test was positive in 54 (91.5%) patients. The mean age of the patients was 69.1 ± 13.8 years with a sex ratio of 1.3. Cough during feeding (79.7%) and swallowing effort (81.4%) were the most common complaints. The majority (72.9%) of patients had bilateral pyramidal involvement, and 23 (39%) a history of stroke. The local feeding protocol was respected by only half of patients, without any impact on the occurrence of malnutrition and dehydration (respectively, p=0.58 and p=0.79). Death was observed in 32 (54.24%) patients primarily for bronchopneumopathy (n=5, 15.62%), false roads (n=4, 12.5%) and cerebral hematoma (n=4, 12.50%). Eleven (34.4%) patients died at home for an undetermined cause. Detection and appropriate management of swallowing disorders in acute stroke, must be systematic and included in management protocols of stroke.
