Bacterial pneumonia is one of the most important infectious diseases in terms of incidence, effect on quality of life, mortality, and impact on society. Pneumonia was the third leading cause of death in Japan in 2011. In 2016, 119 650 Japanese people died of pneumonia, 96% of whom were aged 65 years and above. The symptoms of pneumonia in elderly people are often atypical. Aspiration pneumonia is seen more frequently than in young people because of swallowing dysfunction in the elderly. The mortality rate is also higher in the elderly than in young people. In Japan, the population is aging at an unprecedented rate, and pneumonia in the elderly will be increasingly important in medicine and medical economics in the future. To manage pneumonia in the elderly, it is important to accurately evaluate its severity, administer appropriate antibiotic treatment, and implement effective preventive measures.

Dysphagia affects our most basic functions — the ability to eat and drink. It negatively affects the quality of life of patients, especially in the elderly, which can lead to exhaustion, dehydration, aspiration pneumonia and, ultimately, death. Dysphagia and its severity should be assessed accurately and in a timely manner. Many questionnaires have been proposed to monitor the severity and effectiveness of dysphagia therapy. This paper analyzes ten different self-assessment questionnaires for quality of life. Almost all currently available questionnaires need to be finalized. Based on the DHI (Dysphagia Disability Index) questionnaire, we proposed a special questionnaire that has a number of advantages over the others, it takes into account the age of patients, is universal, and is also suitable for assessing dysphagia, both before and after treatment.
