Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 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.

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Reliable and validated European Portuguese version of the VASES

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

    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.
