Screening dysphagia risk in 534 older patients undergoing rehabilitation after total joint replacement. A cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: EAT-10 might be considered as useful screening tools for dysphagia in older people, considering the high specificity of EAT-10≥4. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Screening dysphagia risk should be recommended also in patients undergoing rehabilitation in order to set up an early diagnosis and management.
