Key Points

  • The aim is to develop and validate a standardized clinical swallowing examination for assessing oropharyngeal dysphagia in adult inpatients.
  • Developed a non-nutritive clinical swallowing examination (CSE) for dysphagia evaluation.
  • Validated tool for use by speech-language therapists (SLTs).
  • Targeted populations include adults in low- and middle-income countries.
  • The standardized CSE is reliable and validated for assessing dysphagia.
  • Implementation supports more equitable access to care.
  • Enhanced consistency and effectiveness observed in patient evaluations.

Abstract

This standardized CSE provides SLTs with a reliable and validated tool for assessing oropharyngeal dysphagia, especially in low- and middle-income countries with limited access to instrumental assessments. Its use supports more equitable, consistent, and effective patient care.
