Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Functional Bedside Aspiration Screen (FBAS) for predicting aspiration risk in patients with acute stroke, using a sample of 101 ischemic stroke patients.
- - Results showed FBAS had varying sensitivity (65.8% for penetration risk and 73% for aspiration risk) and specificity (70.2% for penetration and 62% for aspiration), with higher accuracy in patients with milder strokes.
- - FBAS scores correlated with the need for therapeutic interventions and dietary changes, suggesting it could serve as a quick assessment tool in environments lacking more advanced testing options, though further research with more participants is needed.
