This study used a two-round Delphi panel with 21 experts to develop a consensus-based set of clinical strategies for managing dysphagia in older adults. The resulting "SATIA" framework covers five key areas: screening, assessment, training, interventions, and management.
This study employed a two-round modified Delphi method to develop evidence-informed clinical strategies for managing dysphagia in older people. A panel of 21 experts, including senior doctors, nurse managers, and speech therapists, evaluated an initial 74 items based on a literature review. After two rounds, consensus was reached on 53 items, organized into the "SATIA" acronym representing five sections: screening, assessment, training, interventions, and management. The authors report high expert participation and authoritative coefficients (≥0.70), suggesting reliable consulting results. The study's primary limitation is that the developed strategies have not yet been validated in a clinical setting with older patients. The findings aim to provide a theoretical basis for improving dysphagia care in geriatric settings in China.
