LID - 10.3390/nu13020596 [doi] LID - 596 AB - This study assessed whether a high provided energy of >/=30 kcal/ideal body weight (IBW)/day (kg) for patients with sarcopenic dysphagia effectively improved swallowing ability and the activities of daily living (ADLs). Among 110 patients with sarcopenic dysphagia (mean age, 84.9 +/- 7.4 years) who were admitted to a post-acute hospital, swallowing ability and the ADLs were assessed using the Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), respectively. The primary outcome was the FILS at discharge, while the secondary outcome was the achievement of the FIM with a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) at discharge. We created a homogeneous probability model without statistically significant differences using the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method with and without a mean provided energy of >/=30 kcal/IBW/day (kg) for a period of 1 week of hospitalization and compared the outcomes between groups. A mean provided energy of >/=30 kcal/IBW/day (kg) was achieved in 62.7% of patients. In the IPTW model, the FILS and the rates of achieved MCID of the FIM at discharge were significantly higher in the mean provided energy of >/=30 kcal/IBW/day (kg) group (p = 0.004 and p < 0.001, respectively). A high provided energy for patients with sarcopenic dysphagia may improve swallowing ability and produce clinically meaningful functional outcomes.
