Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create a standard protocol for assessing the Videofluoroscopic Dysphagia Scale (VDS) and test its reliability through inter-rater and intra-rater evaluations.
  • Researchers recruited 60 patients from three medical centers and had six physicians evaluate the videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) data to calculate reliability scores.
  • The results showed high reliability for the VDS, with inter-rater scores at 0.966 and intra-rater scores at 0.896, indicating that the VDS is an effective tool for assessing dysphagia consistently across different evaluators and medical settings.
