简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to translate and validate the fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing scale "The Boston Residue and Clearance Scale - BRACS" to European Portuguese
详细描述
The Boston Residue and Clearance Scale (BRACS) is a multidimensional scale developed and validated to assess the severity of residues observed during fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES).
It differs from other FEES residue scales, since it considers all aspects related to pharyngolaryngeal residues, specifically, the location, amount and the patient's clearance ability.
The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the English version of the BRACS into European Portuguese and to investigate the reliability and validity of the translated version of the scale.

结局指标
主要结局
Reliable and validated European Portuguese version of the BRACS
时间窗: patients with neurological and/or mechanical oropharyngeal dysphagia evaluated FEES up to 3 months after the first symptomatology
Demonstrating the reliability and validity of the Boston Residue and Clearance Scale in diagnosing dysphagia during fiberoptic endoscopic assessment of swallowing examination. BRACS it's an 11-point ordinal residue classification scale that assesses 3 aspects: the amount and location of pharyngolaryngeal residues, the presence of spontaneous swallowing to clear it and the effectiveness of patient's swallowing.
