AbstractSection Aim

A systematic review was performed to identify how aspiration pneumonia is being diagnosed in older persons, as there is no definitive criteria to differentiate it from non-AP.

AbstractSection Findings

There is a broad consensus on the diagnostic criteria of AP, consisting of pneumonia in the context of presumed aspiration or documented dysphagia in the presence of increasing age and frailty.

AbstractSection Message

Currently, AP may be a presumptive diagnosis with regards to the patient’s general frailty rather than in relation to swallowing function itself.
