Identification of Phenotypic Patterns of Dysphagia: A Proof of Concept Study

Conclusions The results of this feasibility study demonstrate that summative scores of swallowing physiology alone are not sufficiently robust to distinguish subtypes of dysphagia in broad, heterogeneous medical categories. Using OT/PT as subtypes only separated gastroenterology from the other categories, suggesting overlap in OT/PT scores between the latter categories.
