Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Reliable and validated European Portuguese version of the VASES	patients with neurological and/or mechanical oropharyngeal dysphagia evaluated FEES up to 3 months after the first symptomatology	Visual Analysis of Swallowing Efficiency and Safety (VASES) is a standardized approach for rating pharyngeal residue, penetration, and aspiration during FEES. It establishes clearly defined anatomic and temporal boundaries within which to rate functional swallowing outcomes.
