Objective: Post-tracheotomy swallowing function has not been well described in the pediatric population. This study aims to (1) determine differences in swallowing functioning pre- and post-tracheotomy and (2) examine the association between postoperative dysphagia and indication for tracheotomy, age at the time of tracheotomy, and time between tracheotomy and modified barium swallow (MBS).
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 752 patients who underwent a tracheotomy from 2003 to 2018 and had adequate documentation for review.
Objectives/hypothesis: To determine the utility of preoperative penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) scores and clinical findings on modified barium swallow (MBS) in predicting advancement of diet after interarytenoid injection augmentation (IAIA).
Study Design: Retrospective review.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 372 consecutive patients who underwent IAIA for pharyngeal dysphagia between 2009 and 2019 were initially identified.
