Weekend speech pathology services in Australian health settings: A cross-sectional survey.

Purpose: There is limited research on speech-language pathology (SLP) weekend service provision across Australian healthcare services. Therefore, this study aimed to examine weekend SLP services in Australian healthcare services and explore SLP manager perspectives regarding the provision of these services.

Method: A mixedmethods, cross-sectional survey design was employed.

Aphasia associated with non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage: a systematic review.

Purpose: Individuals with non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) are often excluded from studies of stroke populations due to differing pathophysiology and treatment pathways. Thus, aphasia presentation in the non-traumatic SAH population is potentially under-represented within existing research evidence.

Materials And Methods: Five databases were systematically searched with terms related to "aphasia" and "subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Speech pathology prescribing in the outpatient setting: A review of requirements, considerations and barriers.

Background: As health systems face increasing demands, non-medical prescribing is a workforce redesign strategy adopted within some services. Despite successful implementation in other professional groups, non-medical prescribing within speech pathology (SP) has not yet been described.

Aims: To provide a descriptive account of the development and planned implementation of two SP prescribing models.

Clinical Predictors of Dysphagia Recovery After Stroke: A Systematic Review.

Oropharyngeal dysphagia is common post-stroke and can have serious consequences for patients. Understanding dysphagia recovery is critically important to inform prognostication and support patients and professionals with care planning. This systematic review was undertaken to identify clinical predictors of dysphagia recovery post-stroke.

Language function in the acute phase following non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage: A prospective cohort study.

Background: Aphasia is common following stroke, with associated negative impacts on quality of life and psychosocial functioning. However, the language function of individuals who develop non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) has been minimally investigated from a speech-language pathology (SLP) perspective.

Aims: To examine and characterise the language function of individuals following non-traumatic SAH in the acute phase and describe the clinical profile and outcomes of individuals in this cohort with language impairment.

Dysphagia following non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage: A prospective pilot study.

Background: Whilst dysphagia is a commonly reported complication of stroke, it has received relatively little attention in the literature for patients following non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH).

Aims: To investigate dysphagia incidence, risk factors, clinical progression and recovery in patients following non-traumatic SAH.

Methods & Procedures: A prospective cohort study of 49 patients admitted to a tertiary neurosurgical referral unit with non-traumatic SAH over a 12-month period was conducted.

Clinical progression and outcome of individuals with and without swallowing impairment following non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage: A retrospective cohort study.

: To establish the clinical profiles of individuals with and without dysphagia following non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), and to further describe the clinical progression and outcome of dysphagia within the acute phase for those individuals with dysphagia.: Retrospective chart review of 250 patients consecutively admitted with non-traumatic SAH to a major, tertiary neurosurgery referral centre in Australia over a three-year period. Clinical information associated with usual clinical care was collected for the duration of the acute hospital admission.

Dysphagia in non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage: a scoping review.

There is currently limited information regarding dysphagia following non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), which impacts upon speech-language pathologists' (SLP) decisions when providing clinical care for this patient cohort. This scoping review aims to summarise the available evidence on the topic and identify gaps in the literature. The scoping review framework as described by Arskey and O'Malley (Soc Res Methodol 8(1):19-32, 2005) was used.

Incidence and Risk Factors for Dysphagia Following Non-traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

The aim of the study is to investigate dysphagia incidence and establish factors which may reliably predict dysphagia risk in individuals presenting with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A retrospective chart audit of 250 patients (151 females and 99 males) consecutively admitted with non-traumatic SAH to a major, tertiary neurosurgery referral center in Australia was conducted. Demographics, medical, and surgical information, along with speech-language pathology (SLP) assessment data were collected.
