Overview
Brief Summary
This was a prospective multicenter study. the patients after stroke with were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. All patients were given comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. During the treatment, enteral nutrition support was provided for the two groups by Intermittent Oro-esophageal tube feeding and nasogastric tube feeding, respectively. Nutritional status, dysphagia, quality of life and depression before and after treatment were compared.
Detailed Description
Dysphagia in patients after stroke continues to be a challenge. To avoid the wound caused by gastrostomy, nasogastric tube feeding has been the mainstay of palliation, but potential side effects exist this choice. Intermittent Oro-esophageal tube feeding is an established modality that can be used with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. This study reports the outcomes of Intermittent Oro-esophageal tube feeding and comparison with nasogastric tube feeding, including nutritional status, dysphagia, quality of life, depression, and follow-up in patients receiving comprehensive rehabilitation therapy.This was a prospective multicenter study. the patients after stroke with were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group.

- •transferred out within three weeks of hospitalization in the neurology department.
Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Penetration-Aspiration Scale
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
Penetration-Aspiration Scale was used to assess dysphagia under Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study, primarily evaluating the extent to which fluid food entered the airway and caused penetration or aspiration during the swallowing process. The scores ranged 1 point to 8 points. As the level increased, the severity of dysphagia also increased.
Secondary Outcomes
- total protein(day 1 and day 15)
- albumin(day 1 and day 15)
- Body weight(day 1 and day 15)
- Patient health questionnaire-9(day 1 and day 15)
- Yale pharyngeal residue severity rating scale(day 1 and day 15)
- Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire(day 1 and day 15)
