Background
Early identification of dysphagia aims to mitigate the risk of health consequences in adults poststroke; however, the evidence from experimental trials alone is inconclusive. This meta‐analysis assessed dysphagia screening benefit from both trial and observational data.
Methods and Results
Seven electronic databases were searched to Dec...
Background:
Our study assessed post-radiation therapy (RT) G-tube presence, duration, and clinical predictors in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC).
Methods:
We identified those 1-5-years post-RT with stage III/IV nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, laryngeal, or unknown primaries. Logistic regression identified predictors of po...
Aim
This systematic review targeted frequency estimates of dysphagia (feeding and swallowing problems), related health outcomes, and caregiver burden in children with stroke or unilateral cerebral palsy (CP).
Method
Six electronic databases were searched from their inception to November 2017 along with a manual search of eight relevant journals. T...
Background
Patients undergoing radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy (C/RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) often develop dysphagia. Interventions from speech-language pathologists aim to maintain or improve swallow physiology and function; however, it is unclear which interventions have the greatest benefit.
Purpose
A systematic review was con...
Background:
Resource limitations affect the intensity of speech-language pathology (slp) dysphagia interventions for patients with head-and-neck cancer (hnc). The objective of the present study was to assess the feasibility of a prospective clinical trial that would evaluate the effects on health and patient costs of early slp dysphagia interventi...
Purpose:
To review current evidence on the relationship between executive control (EC) and post-treatment language gains in adults with post-stroke aphasia.
Method:
Electronic databases (CINAHL, Cochrane Trials, Embase, MEDLINE, MEDLINE-in-Process and PsycINFO) were systematically searched (year 2000 - present). Abstracts and full-text articles...
