Respiratory-Swallow Coordination in Individuals with Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Swallowing impairment, including altered physiology and aspiration, occur across the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). The phase of respiration during which a swallow is initiated has been linked to swallowing impairment and aspiration in cohorts with dysphagia following stroke and head and neck cancer treatment, but has been understudied in PD. If similar findings are shown in individuals with PD, the implications for swallowing assessment and treatment are significant.

Objective

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of literature was to examine respiratory-swallow coordination measures and potential implications on swallowing physiology in individuals with PD.

Methods

An extensive search of 7 databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Central, Web of
