ObjectiveTo explore the effect of clinical pharmacists participating in nutritional therapy for patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) complicated with dysphagia.MethodsThis is a Clinical comparative study. A total of 82 patients with ACI complicated with dysphagia treated in Baoding No.1 Central Hospital from May 2021 to February 2022 were included as subjects. They were divided into control group (n= 40, without clinical pharmacists) and experimental group (n= 42, with clinical pharmacists) using a random number table. The effect of nutritional therapy and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.ResultsIn the experimental group, PALB and ALB were both higher than those in the control group on the seven and 14-day after treatment (p< 0.05), while HB was higher than that in the control group only on the 14-day after treatment (p< 0.05). After treatment for 14-day, MAMC and TSF in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (p< 0.05), while NIHSS score was lower than that in the control group (p< 0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (p< 0.05).ConclusionPharmaceutical intervention in nutritional therapy for patients with ACI complicated with dysphagia has positive significance in further improving the nutritional status and nutritional indexes, enhancing the efficacy of drug treatment and reducing the risk of adverse events, and is worthy of promotion.Copyright: © Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences.
