[Understanding the use of self-evaluation questionnaires when assessing a patient's swallowing capacity and performing follow-up activities].

The purpose of this study was to examine the possibility of improving the assessment protocol of dysphagia and show the interest of adding a self-assessment evaluation scale to the traditional functional assessment of the swallowing process. We have a comparison of the assessment of 30 dysphagic patients with two different scales (DHI and EAT-10). Results show that the self-evaluation scales selected led to quantitative data comparable to the objective results of the COLP-FR-G functional assessment tool.
