| description | Objectives To assess the healthcare costs associated with poststroke oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) and its complications (malnutrition, dehydration, pneumonia and death).Design Systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations.Data sources MEDLINE, Embase and the National Health Service Economic Evaluation Database were searched up to 31 December 2019.Participants Patients with poststroke.Primary outcome measures The costs associated to poststroke OD and its complications.Data analysis Data were synthetised narratively, quality evaluation was done using an adaptation of Drummond’s checklist and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation recommendations were used to assess strength of evidence.Results A total of 166 articles were identified, of which 10 studies were included. The cost of OD during the hospitalisation was assessed in four studies. One prospective study showed an increase of US$6589 for patients requiring tube feeding. Two retrospective studies found higher costs for those patients who developed OD, (US$7329 vs US$5939) among patients with haemorrhagic stroke transferred to inpatient rehabilitation and an increase of €3000 (US$3950) and SFr14 000 (US$15 300) in hospitalisation costs. One study did not found OD as a predictor for total medical costs in the multivariate analysis. One retrospective study showed an increase of US$4510 during the first year after stroke for those patients with OD. For pneumonia, five retrospective studies showed an increase in hospitalisation costs after stroke of between US$1456 and US$27 633. One prospective study showed an increase in hospitalisation costs during 6 months after stroke in patients at high malnutrition risk. Strength of evidence was considered moderate for OD and pneumonia and low for malnutrition.Conclusions This systematic review shows moderate evidence towards higher costs for those patients who developed OD after stroke. The available literature is heterogeneous, and some important aspects have not been studied yet. Further studies are needed to define the specific cost of poststroke OD.PROSPERO registration number CRD42018099977. |
