Effects of Insular Cortex on Post-Stroke Dysphagia: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the relationship of lobar and deep brain regions with post-stroke dysphagia (PSD).

Method

The databases of Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched from the establishment to May 2022. Studies that investigated the effects of lesions in lobar and deep brain regions on swallowing function after stroke were screened. The primary outcomes were PSD-related brain regions (including aspiration-related and oral transit time-related brain regions). The secondary outcomes were the incidence rate of PSD. The brain regions with the most overlap in the included studies were considered to be most relevant to PSD, and were presented as percentages. Data were compared utilizing the t-tests for continuous variables and χ²
