Abstract：Objective To explore the risk factors of dysphagia in the patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Methods 141 TBI pa-tients were assessed with Gugging Swallowing Screen, and divided into the dysphagia (n=36) and normal (n=105) groups. The related fac-tors were compared between 2 groups. Results The frequency increased in severe brain injury, brain stem injury, bilateral brain injury, tra-cheotomy, nasal-gastric tube insertion and cognitive defect in the dysphagia group compared with those in the normal group (P<0.05). Con-clusion The severe brain injury, brain stem injury, bilateral brain injury, tracheotomy, nasal-gastric tube insertion and cognitive defect may be related with the dysphagia post TBI.
