[Guideline conform diagnostics for dysphagia : A representative survey of speech therapists at certified stroke units in Germany].

CONCLUSION: The implementation of a detailed and differentiated anamnesis, standardized screening, and a clinical swallowing examination with testing of different food consistencies suggests a high quality of the dysphagia diagnostics at stroke units in Germany. The increasing availability of technical instruments, especially fiber endoscopy, substantiates this view. PMID: 28382486 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
