[Fwd: [Fwd: [DYSPHAGIA] glucose oxidase test strips & aspirat ion]-Reply]
-Actually- I believe/recall the study found that dental caries were the
main factor in developing an aspiration pneumonia (as opposed to the main
factor in causing aspiration itself- wether someone aspirates, and wether
they develop an aspiration PNA, are 2 different, though related, issues,
and would warrant different lit. reviews.
