Core Tip	This retrospective cohort study evaluated the risk of dysphagia in 2414 psychiatric inpatients and found that 2.36% were classified as having moderate-to-severe risk of dysphagia. Dysphagia risk was independently associated with older age and those diagnosed with schizophrenia or intellectual disability, with additional associations involving thyroid stimulating hormone levels, marital status, and length of hospital stay. These findings provide epidemiological evidence to support screening-identified risk stratification and underscore the importance of increasing awareness and targeted assessment of dysphagia in psychiatric inpatient settings.
