A First Comparative Study of Patient Reported Quality of Life and the Fluence-Based Decision Support Metric. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43534 , weight change ΔW, ΔVROI, and Δϕn, were analyzed using the ranked-Pearson correlation. Results: No statistically significant correlation was found for age, gender and ΔW. was found to have clinically important correlation with functional MDADI (ρ = −0.39, P = 0.081). ΔVROI was found to have statistically significant correlation of 0.44, 0.47 and 0.44 with global, physical and functional MDADI (P-value < 0.05). Δϕn was found to have statistically significant ranked-correlation (−0.46, −0.46 and −0.45) with physical, functional and total MDADI (P-value < 0.05). Conclusion: A transit fluence based decision support metric (DSM) is statistically correlated with the dysphagia risk. It can not only be used as an early signal in assisting clinicians in the ART patient selection for replanning, but also lowers the resource barrier of ART implementation.]]> Wed 21 Sep 2022 11:32:28 AEST ]]> Going thirsty for the turtles: Plastic straw bans, people with swallowing disability, and Sustainable Development Goal 14, Life Below Water https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54671 Wed 13 Mar 2024 07:44:44 AEDT ]]> Fever, hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction management in acute stroke: a cluster randomised controlled trial of knowledge transfer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6972 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:26:57 AEST ]]> Palliative care of people with oesophageal cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17112 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:30:06 AEST ]]> Validation of the choking risk assessment and pneumonia risk assessment for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disability (IDD) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34063 Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:02:02 AEST ]]> Lymphoedema after head and neck cancer treatment: An overview for clinical practice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49078 Wed 03 May 2023 16:15:23 AEST ]]> Are radiographers an influencing factor in the radiation protection practices of speech-language therapists performing videofluoroscopic swallowing studies? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38467 Tue 28 Sep 2021 10:45:37 AEST ]]> Phase I trial of hypofractionated chemoradiotherapy in the palliative management of esophageal and gastro-esophageal cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51990 Tue 26 Sep 2023 10:53:57 AEST ]]> Nurse-initiated acute stroke care in emergency departments: the triage, treatment, and transfer implementation cluster randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48570 Tue 21 Mar 2023 18:40:40 AEDT ]]> Dysphagia in adult intensive care patients: Results of a prospective, multicentre binational point prevalence study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54385 Tue 20 Feb 2024 20:46:19 AEDT ]]> The use of a myofunctional device in an aged care population for oral care and swallowing: A feasibility study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53364 Thu 23 Nov 2023 10:41:20 AEDT ]]> Using tongue-strengthening exercise programs in dysphagia intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11084 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:33:37 AEDT ]]> Working with families of children with dysphagia: an interdisciplinary approach https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8650 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:41:27 AEDT ]]> A father-inclusive model of paediatric dysphagia intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8085 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:34:27 AEDT ]]> A clinical Profile of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2483 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:43 AEDT ]]> Stent insertion for palliation of advanced oesophageal carcinoma symptoms by level of socioeconomic disadvantage in urban New South Wales https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14678 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:19:07 AEDT ]]> Esophageal diameter is decreased in some patients with eosinophilic esophagitis and might increase with topical corticosteroid therapy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12769 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:18:19 AEDT ]]> Australian speech-language pathologists' knowledge and practice of radiation protection while performing videofluoroscopic swallowing studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5098 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:48:49 AEDT ]]> The diagnosis of esophageal eosinophilia is not increased in the summer months https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26864 4 aeroallergens in 47 % (33/70) and reactions to any food allergen in 63 % (50/80) of patients.

Results: Data from 1804 patients (718 preintervention; 1086 postintervention) showed that significantly more patients admitted to hospitals allocated to the intervention group received care according to the fever (n = 186 of 603, 31% vs. n = 74 of 483, 15%, P < 0·001), hyperglycemia (n = 22 of 603, 3·7% vs. n = 3 of 483, 0·6%, P = 0·01), and swallowing dysfunction protocols (n = 241 of 603, 40% vs. n = 19 of 483, 4·0%, P ≤ 0·001). Significantly more patients in these intervention stroke units received four-hourly temperature monitoring (n = 222 of 603, 37% vs. n = 90 of 483, 19%, P < 0·001) and six-hourly glucose monitoring (194 of 603, 32% vs. 46 of 483, 9·5%, P < 0·001) within 72 hours of admission to a stroke unit, and a swallowing screen (242 of 522, 46% vs. 24 of 350, 6·8%, P ≤ 0·0001) within the first 24 hours of admission to hospital. There was no difference between the groups in the treatment of patients with fever with paracetamol (22 of 105, 21% vs. 38 of 131, 29%, P = 0·78) or their hyperglycemia with insulin (40 of 100, 40% vs. 17 of 57, 30%, P = 0·49). Interpretation Our intervention resulted in better protocol adherence in intervention stroke units, which explains our main trial findings of improved patient 90-day outcomes. Although monitoring practices significantly improved, there was no difference between the groups in the treatment of fever and hyperglycemia following acute stroke. A significant link between improved treatment practices and improved outcomes would have explained further the success of our intervention, and we are still unable to explain definitively the large improvements in death and dependency found in the main trial results. One potential explanation is that improved monitoring may have led to better overall surveillance of deteriorating patients and faster initiation of treatments not measured as part of the main trial.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:45 AEDT ]]> A call for dysphagia-related safety incident research in people with developmental disabilities https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23236 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:39 AEDT ]]> Death by Choking or Dysphagia: A Review of Coronial Findings (Australia and Canada): A Picture of Preventable Death, Non-adherence to Written Recommendations, and Lack of Appropriate Supervision https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52314 Mon 09 Oct 2023 10:24:23 AEDT ]]> Perspectives of people with dysphagia and their supporters on the potential for 3D food printing to improve Mealtime-Related quality of life https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55168 Fri 19 Apr 2024 08:27:56 AEST ]]> Association between external and internal lymphedema and chronic dysphagia following head and neck cancer treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38251 P <.004 and P =.006, respectively), diet modification (P <.001 both), and poorer patient-reported outcomes (P =.037 and P =.014, respectively).
