| Abstract: | Purpose: Respiratory-swallow coordination (RSC) frequently changes in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). Little is known about how these changes relate to impairments in swallowing safety (penetration and aspiration) and efficiency (pharyngeal residue). Therefore, the aims of this study were to assess the relationships between RSC, pharyngeal residue, penetration, and aspiration in PwPD. Method: Twenty-four PwPD were recruited to undergo simultaneous assessment of RSC, swallowing safety, and swallowing efficiency. RSC was assessed using respiratory inductive plethysmography and nasal airflow and included measurements of respiratory pause duration, respiratory phase patterning, and lung volume during swallowing. Swallowing safety and efficiency were assessed using flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, analyzed using the Visual Analysis of Swallowing Efficiency and Safety, and included measurements of pharyngeal residue, penetration, and aspiration. All data were blindly analyzed, with 20% of the data repeated for interrater reliability assessment. Multilevel statistical models were used to examine the relationships between RSC and swallowing. Results: A total of 812 swallows were analyzed from 24 participants. Only 33.4% of swallows exhibited the typical exhale-swallow-exhale pattern. Additionally, 95% of participants exhibited abnormal swallow function. More severe hypophar-yngeal residue ratings were associated with inhaling before the swallow compared to exhaling before the swallow. Additionally, more severe events of penetration and aspiration were associated with (a) inhaling before the swallow compared to exhaling before the swallow, (b) inhaling after the swallow compared to exhaling after the swallow, and (c) longer swallow-related respiratory pause durations. Inhaling after the swallow exhibited the strongest relationship with impairments in swallowing safety when compared to all other RSC variables. Conclusions: RSC exhibited significant relationships with pharyngeal residue, penetration, and aspiration in these PwPD. Clinicians should attend to RSC when assessing swallowing in PwPD. Future research is needed to examine if training an exhale-swallow-exhale pattern can be used to improve disordered swallowing in PwPD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
