“…[33][34][35][36] Further, even among cognitively-impaired residents who could not communicate, breathing difficulties remain easily observable. [36][37][38] Our findings concur with earlier studies suggesting that intake problems are a hallmark of advanced dementia. 2,11,39 In line with earlier studies, 2,11,40 our findings suggest that intake problems are common in residents with advanced dementia.…”

“…Chandy et al effectively showed that DDI is lower in pulmonary causes of dyspnea than in cardiac etiology [25]. It is observed that pulmonary causes of dyspnea have better outcomes than cardiac causes as the former can be stabilized by initial emergency management with oxygen and bronchodilators, but cardiac conditions have a more acute presentation needing further workup and interventions [26], which was also reported in this study. Of the cardiac causes, the most common ones to present with acute dyspnea include heart failure, acute coronary ischemic events, and arrhythmias.…”
