Dysphagia in progressive supranuclear palsy: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

One of the most prevalent types of atypical parkinsonian syndrome is progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). PSP is associated with early onset of dysphagia which can result in malnutrition, dehydration, and aspiration pneumonia, affecting quality of life and increasing mortality rate. To date, research describing dysphagia in PSP and its impact is scant.

Methods

The objective of this scoping review is to determine the characteristics of dysphagia in PSP, differences in dysphagia presentation according to PSP subtype, principal methods used for identifying and diagnosing dysphagia and the impact dysphagia has on quality of life in individuals with PSP. This review was conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology. Six electronic databases were searched.
