The main objective is to determine the effectiveness of telehealth consultation for the re-evaluation of nutritional status and quality of life assessment in older people diagnosed with OD associated with active use of thickeners to prevent hospital admissions in a COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Methods: an observational, descriptive, and longitudinal study that included a sample of 33 subjects with age equal or superior to 65 years diagnosed with OD with conserved cognitive capacity. The nutritional status was evaluated through the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaire and biochemical parameters and, the quality of life was determined through the Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire. (3) Results: Thirty-three older patients with OD were recruited (54.5% women), with a mean age of 83.5 \u00b1 7.6 years. The main cause of OD in the study population was neurodegenerative disease (51.5%), followed by cerebrovascular disease (33.3%), and other causes (15.2%). Sixty point six percent of patients were found to be at risk of malnutrition. The MNA score was significantly correlated to albumin (r: 0.600, p &lt; 0.001) and total proteins (r: 0.435, p = 0.015), but not to total cholesterol (r: \u22120.116, p = 0.534) or lymphocytes (r: \u22120.056, p = 0.758). The mean total score of the SWAL-QOL was 75.1 \u00b1 16.4 points. (4) Conclusions: the quality of life of the subjects related to the use of a thickener is good. Although the body mass index (BMI) and average biochemical, nutritional parameters of the subjects are within the range of normality, the MNA has detected a high percentage of subjects with the risk of malnutrition, which suggests the need for continuous re-evaluation in these patients, demonstrating the viability of the telematic route in this research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life11010022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,31]],"date-time":"2020-12-31T14:31:49Z","timestamp":1609425109000},"page":"22","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Analysis of Quality of Life and Nutritional Status in Elderly Patients with Dysphagia in Order to Prevent Hospital Admissions in a COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Virginia E.","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Ruiz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, Virgen de la Arrixaca University Clinic Hospital, 30120 Murcia, Spain"},{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Calle Campus Universitario, University of Murcia, 11, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roc\u00edo","family":"Paredes-Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Community and Family Nursing Specialist, Calle Campus Universitario, University of Murcia, 11, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6627-363X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Armero-Barranco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Calle Campus Universitario, University of Murcia, 11, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5405-6216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Francisco","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Romera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Anatomy and Psychobiology, Calle Campus Universitario, University of Murcia, 11, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mercedes","family":"Ferrer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, Virgen de la Arrixaca University Clinic Hospital, 30120 Murcia, Spain"},{"name":"Endocrinology and Nutrition Department, Calle Campus Universitario, University of Murcia, 11, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2643","DOI":"10.1111\/jgs.16137","article-title":"Swallowing Disorders in the Older Population","volume":"67","author":"Christmas","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
