Impact of Patient Factors on Attendance at Remote Telehealth Swallow Therapy.
In-person swallow therapy is a primary and effective treatment for dysphagia. However, remote telehealth is now a widely utilized component of healthcare delivery for therapeutic interventions. This study evaluates potential factors influencing attendance at telehealth swallow therapy. Retrospective review of 308 patients referred for telehealth swallow therapy from April 2020-November 2021 included patient referral diagnosis, diagnostic swallowing evaluations, and sociodemographic information including age, race, health insurance, interpreter use, and socioeconomic status. Univariable and multivariable analyses compared patient and appointment factors for those who attended telehealth swallow therapy with those who did not attend. Overall, 71.8% of patients attended at least one telehealth swallow therapy appointment while 28.2% did not attend any. The most common referral diagnoses were "Cancer" (19.2%) and "Dysphagia Unspecified" (19.2%). Patients diagnosed with "Cancer" and "Muscle Tension" were significantly less likely to attend telehealth swallow therapy compared to those with "Dysphagia Unspecified," "Globus," and "Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease/Laryngopharyngeal Reflux" after adjusting for covariates. Lower socioeconomic status (p = 0.023), no interpreter use (p < 0.001), and more diagnostic evaluations (p = 0.001) correlated with higher telehealth swallow therapy attendance. Race and sex did not correlate with attendance. Most patients referred to telehealth swallow therapy attended at least one appointment. Patients with dysphagia associated with cancer and muscle tension, those with higher socioeconomic status, interpreter use, and fewer diagnostic swallowing evaluations were less likely to attend telehealth swallow therapy. Future research should investigate and compare attendance and efficacy of telehealth swallow therapy with in-person therapy.
期刊介绍:
Dysphagia aims to serve as a voice for the benefit of the patient. The journal is devoted exclusively to swallowing and its disorders. The purpose of the journal is to provide a source of information to the flourishing dysphagia community. Over the past years, the field of dysphagia has grown rapidly, and the community of dysphagia researchers have galvanized with ambition to represent dysphagia patients. In addition to covering a myriad of disciplines in medicine and speech pathology, the following topics are also covered, but are not limited to: bio-engineering, deglutition, esophageal motility, immunology, and neuro-gastroenterology. The journal aims to foster a growing need for further dysphagia investigation, to disseminate knowledge through research, and to stimulate communication among interested professionals. The journal publishes original papers, technical and instrumental notes, letters to the editor, and review articles.
