Incidence of dysphagia in different groups stratified by hand-grip strengths.
| Total N = 89 |
Dysphagia at Day 7 N = 11 |
Dysphagia at Discharge N = 12 |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand-grip strength ≥ 18 kg, n (%) | 16 (18.0) a | 0 (0.0) b | 0 (0.0) c |
| 8 kg ≤ Hand-grip strength < 18 kg, n (%) | 58 (65.2) a | 5 (9.4) b | 5 (9.4) c |
| Hand-grip strength < 8.0 kg, n (%) | 15 (16.8) a | 6 (40.0) b | 7 (46.6) c |
The number of denominators in the calculation of percentage: a, total; b, dysphagia at day 7; c, dysphagia at discharge.
