A Large Cohort Analysis of Epiglottic Phenotypes and Pharyngeal Residue

CONCLUSION: Abnormal epiglottic movement is associated with aspiration, and in this study we find that abnormal epiglottic movement increases the risk of vallecular residue and that older age is a risk factor for residue. The resting properties of the epiglottis do not appear to be associated with abnormal epiglottic movement or residue.PMID:38197379 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231218892
