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.
Preoperative and postoperative reflux symptomatology was subjectively measured with the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), and dysphagia symptomatology was measured with the Eating Assessment Tool 10 (EAT-10).
