The Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) and the volume-viscosity water swallow test (VVST) were utilized to assess the prevalence of dysphagia in a generalized hospitalized population in 2 centers (N = 205).
Secondary outcomes were assessed using the Eating Assessment Tool 10 (EAT-10) when dysphagia was present, stroboscopic analysis of glottic closure, and complication rates.
The EAT-10 is a self-administered, symptom-specific 10-item clinical instrument to document dysphagia symptom severity and has demonstrated excellent internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion-based validity.
There was no significant difference in the prevalence of phonatory and dysphagia symptoms using VHI-10 and EAT-10 questionnaires between subjects with hypovitaminosis D and those with normal serum vitamin D levels.
The patients were asked to report dysphagia and completed a general dysphagia questionnaire (the Eating Assessment Tool-10, EAT-10), a disease-specific dysphagia questionnaire (the Dysphagia in Multiple Sclerosis, DYMUS), and a dysphagia-related QoL questionnaire (the Swallowing-Quality of Life).
Dysphagia was evaluated with the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10), and the measurement of Maximal Isometric Tongue Pressure (MITP) and tongue endurance (Iowa Oral Performance Instrument-IOPI).
Firstly, to be able to reach the number of sampling, "EAT-10 questionnaire", which also has a Turkish validation, was used to eliminate those with symptomatic swallowing disorders.
The Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) is a functional health status questionnaire that measures the symptomatic severity of dysphagia from the patient's perspective.
At 2 weeks postoperatively, the local steroid cohort showed significantly decreased prevalence of severe dysphagia (Eating Assessment Tool-10 [EAT-10], severe dysphagia, p = 0.027) compared with the control and IV steroid groups.
After adjusting for age, gender and ethnicity, the study identified [prevalence ratio (95% confidence interval)] high dysphagia risk [EAT-10 score: 0.98 (0.97-0.99)], low body mass index [kg/m<sup>2</sup>: 1.02 (1.02-1.03)], low muscle strength [hand grip strength, kg: 1.01 (1.00-1.02)] and decline in cognition [MoCA score: 1.01 (1.00-1.02)] as significant predictors of malnutrition risk in older adults at hospital admission.
Their swallowing was evaluated using the eating assessment tool (EAT-10), and patients with swallowing disorders were subjected to fiber-optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), they received conservative treatment for 6 months.
This study investigates the ability of the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) to predict aspiration during objective dysphagia evaluation in adults with stable COPD.
