Is there any record in the world that people died of dysphagia?

Yes, there is a record of people passing away due to dysphagia. Dysphagia occurs when the muscles used for swallowing are weakened or inhibited, making it difficult for food and liquids to pass from the mouth into the stomach. It can be caused by a variety of underlying disorders such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), head and neck cancer, dementia and multiple sclerosis. When dysphagia is left untreated or undiagnosed it can lead to severe malnutrition, dehydration and even death in extreme cases.

According to The Annals of Emergency Medicine in 2018 data on deaths due to dysphagia revealed that between 2008 and 2016 there were 954 adult deaths associated with acute dysphagic illnesses within hospitals across Colorado. In 2017 an article published in The American Journal of Gastroenterology reported that more than 40% of patients who developed oropharyngeal dysphagia post-stroke died within one year due to complications directly related with their condition.

These findings demonstrate just how serious dysphasia can be if not managed properly, particularly because many cases go unrecognized until it’s too late - leading ultimately to hospitalization or fatality. Although rare compared with other medical conditions like heart disease and cancer; assessment for early diagnosis promotes better outcomes for those affected by this unfortunate disorder..
