However, their clinical benefits remain unclear because no previous studies have examined whether ODTs facilitate medication adherence and clinical outcomes in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. This study evaluated the association between ODT prescriptions and clinical benefits using high-dimensional propensity score (hd-PS) matching to adjust for confounding factors. Using a large Japanese commercial medical and dental claims database, we identified patients aged\u2009\u2265\u200965\u00a0years with post-stroke dysphagia between April 2014 and March 2021. To compare 1-year outcomes of medication adherence, cardiovascular events, and aspiration pneumonia between patients taking ODTs and non-ODTs, we performed hd-PS matching. We identified 11,813 patients without ODTs and 3178 patients with ODTs. After hd-PS matching, 2246 pairs were generated. Medication adherence for 1\u00a0year, based on the proportion of days covered, was not significantly different between the non-ODT and ODT groups before (0.887 vs. 0.900, P\u2009=\u20090.999) and after hd-PS matching (0.889 vs. 0.902, P\u2009=\u20090.977). The proportion of cardiovascular events (0.898 vs. 0.893, P\u2009=\u20090.591) and aspiration pneumonia (0.380 vs. 0.372, P\u2009=\u20090.558) were also not significantly different between the groups. This study found no significant differences in medication adherence, cardiovascular diseases, or aspiration pneumonia between the non-ODT and ODT groups in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. Both groups achieved a proportion of days covered exceeding 80%. Clinicians may consider prescribing ODTs or non-ODTs based on patient preferences rather than solely on post-stroke conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00455-024-10737-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,3]],"date-time":"2024-08-03T06:02:00Z","timestamp":1722664920000},"page":"381-387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Do Orally Disintegrating Tablets Facilitate Medical Adherence and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Post-stroke Dysphagia?"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1265-6835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"So","family":"Sato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yusuke","family":"Sasabuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akira","family":"Okada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hideo","family":"Yasunaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"10737_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"366","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpharm.2016.01.050","volume":"512","author":"HL Quinn","year":"2016","unstructured":"Quinn HL, Hughes CM, Donnelly RF.
