惡性腦腫瘤老年患者吞嚥困難：美國健保受益人全國性研究結果

// Dysphagia in Older Adults with Malignant Brain Tumors: Results of a National Study of Medicare Beneficiaries

本研究利用美國醫療保險數據，評估65歲以上大腦腫瘤患者吞嚥困難（dysphagia）盛行率｜發現惡性原發性腦瘤患者吞嚥困難比例達11%，高於其他實體腫瘤｜吞嚥困難與住院率上升、醫療資源使用增加及存活率顯著降低相關｜腸道餵食未能改善存活率，顯示吞嚥困難是影響老年腦瘤患者預後的重要因素。

// This study assessed the prevalence and impact of dysphagia in adults aged 65+ with brain tumors using Medicare data. Dysphagia was more common in primary malignant brain tumors (11%) than in other solid tumors and was linked to higher hospitalization, greater healthcare use, and significantly lower survival. Enteral feeding did not improve survival among those with dysphagia and primary brain tumors. The findings highlight dysphagia as a critical factor affecting outcomes in older brain tumor patients.
