Abstract:
Stroke is the most common acute neurological disease in the world. Approximately 16 000 strokes occur each year in Switzerland. In the older population, the stroke outcomes are related to high risk of malnutrition due to neurological deficits impacting oral feeding. Therefore, systematic screening of malnutrition is required upon admission to hospital. Then, assessment of the nutritional status by a specialist should be initiated before deciding on individualised nutritional strategy. Rehabilitation is complex and must be done in multidisciplinary team to provide optimal care to the patients.
