Abstract
Aspiration pneumonia is a major cause of death in patients with dysphagia, often accompanied by psychiatric symptoms. The inhibition of swallowing and cough reflexes, which contribute to a significant risk for aspiration, may be related to decreased levels of substance P. Clinical studies indicate a strong association of an increased mortality in psychiatric patients with the use of antipsychotics. The present study documented fewer positive episodes of swallowing reflex in patients treated with haloperidol for schizophrenia (7/11; 63.6%) than those treated with risperidone (10/11; 90.9%). In addition, patients treated with risperidone had serum substance P levels comparable with control subjects (29.0 +/- 7.8 pg/mL, 29.6 +/- 7.6, respectively; p = 0.9), while patients treated with haloperidol had significantly lower serum substance P levels (20.6 +/- 5.5 pg/mL; p < 0.01). Among patients on haloperidol, those with negative episodes of reflex (4/11; 36.4%) had serum substance P levels at 15.8 +/-1.0 pg/mL, in contrast with those with positive episodes (7/11; 63.6%) who had serum levels at 23.4 +/- 4.9 pg/mL. However, in the patient group treated with risperidone, serum substance P levels in the majority of patients with positive...Continue Reading
