Aspiration pneumonia is a significant cause of concern in people with disabilities. It is defined as the misdirection of oropharyngeal or gastric contents caused by dysphagia, accompanied by massive oral bacteria flora that invade the larynx and lower respiratory tract and produce an infectious response in the lungs. People with disabilities visiting for dental screening from a rehabilitation center are examined, and their oral health is reviewed and assessed for the risk factor for aspiration pneumonia with a simple chair-side water swallow test or incomplete salivary clearance. Data obtained and collected is evaluated in Excel sheet 2010 and subjected to required statistics (Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test) to compare the proportions of categorical variables. ANOVA (analysis of variance) and Kruskal-Walli’s test are used to compare mean values of numerical variables between disability groups. This present study sought to determine the significance of several risk factors for dysphagia in persons with disabilities. Incidence of dysphagia was revealed in 12% of study subjects and poor oral hygiene was found to be a significant predictor of dysphagia severity. Further investigation is needed to determine the risk factors that showed an inconsistent significance between dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia.
