Abstract:

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of fiberoptic endoscopic examination of swallowing (FEES) combined with dye test in patients with post-stroke dysphagia and silent aspiration.Methods From December, 2021 to June, 2022, 50 stroke patients in the Rehabilitation Department of Xuzhou Central Hospital were selected. They were assessed with FEES and videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), and compared. Results The detection rate of aspiration was higher with FEES than with VFSS (χ2 = 7.000, P < 0.05), and especially for liquid food (χ2 = 4.000, P < 0.05). There was a good consistency when consuming paste food (κ = 0.941, P < 0.001) and solid food (κ = 0.779, P < 0.001). There was a good consistency in the food residue site between two methods (κ = 0.818, P < 0.001), as well as for all the three food types (κ ≥ 0.862, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the scores of Penetration Aspiration Scale of three food types between two methods (Z < 0.667, P > 0.05). Conclusion FEES combined with dye test can be used for evaluating silent aspiration after stroke.
