Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to translate and validate to European Portuguese "Visual Analysis of Swallowing Efficiency and Safety - VASES".

Conditions

Deglutition Disorders; Deglutition

Keywords

Dysphagia; Instrumental Assessment; Swallowing Disorders; Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallow

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Reliable and validated European Portuguese version of the VASES

  Visual Analysis of Swallowing Efficiency and Safety (VASES) is a standardized approach for rating pharyngeal residue, penetration, and aspiration during FEES. It establishes clearly defined anatomic and temporal boundaries within which to rate functional swallowing outcomes.

  patients with neurological and/or mechanical oropharyngeal dysphagia evaluated FEES up to 3 months after the first symptomatology

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who underwent FEES at the ULSEDV and met the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria.

You may qualify if:

• Patient's FEES recording that allowed good visualization of the pharynx and larynx;
• FEES recording from patients after head and neck surgery who had structural alterations but still did not interfere with a clear visualization of the residues.
• Patient's tracheostomized or under enteral nutrition.

You may not qualify if:

• Under 18 years of age
