Carnaby G, et al. - By assessing the role of swallowing frequency analysis (SFA) in dysphagia-and stroke-related outcomes at acute stroke discharge, researchers expanded the scope of prior spontaneous SFA studies. Ninety-six patients with acute stroke were included in this period prevalence study. According to the findings obtained, SFA is not only highly accurate in the identification of dysphagia in acute strokes and relates to the severity of dysphagia, but it is also associated with multiple dysphagia- and stroke-related outcomes from acute care. Early identification of SFA post-stroke dysphagia can lead to earlier and more effective interventions aimed at identifying negative stroke results. Regression analysis has identified SFA as an independent predictor of the negative composite results of death-disability-institutionalization.
