Article Synopsis
- Swallowing screens are important after an acute stroke to determine if patients can safely eat and take medications without needing a full swallowing evaluation.
- A systematic review found 35 swallowing screening protocols, but only 4 of them met quality standards for reliability, validity, and feasibility.
- These 4 protocols demonstrated high sensitivity and negative predictive values, but more research is needed to evaluate their cost-effectiveness and overall impact on patient outcomes.
